The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.
A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.
I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.
My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.

I see no significant attack in your screenshot, if you want mods to censor to such level, you’ll make this place hostile for casual talk, a fascist place where people will preemptively censor themselves before being punished.
If you so passionately dislike the thorn guy, block him, and let others decide if they want to block him too. Don’t impose your tastes on the public.

A user “Luffy” created a post that was specifically complaining about thorn guy. OP isn’t complaining about mods not acting on thorn guy, they are complaining about mods not acting on the guy that made a post complaining about thorn guy.
Screenshot could be a lot better, I agree, but it’s all there

Ah, I see it now. I’d agree that the post should be removed, because it’s mostly noise, it isn’t even an attack.
Maybe the description could have been clearer, to help clueless people like me who aren’t used to all the different UIs Lemmy can be accessed from.
