The owner of this gamingonlinux site used to be a mod on this Lemmy community until they got caught abusing mod powers because they didn't realize mod actions were public. They deleted their account and complained about the public moderation aspect on Lemmy on their mastodon account.

Can we just not link to that site here?

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/ is a wealth of information, of which, I am not willing to let go, as it is a resource of current news that is very relevant to this "Linux Gaming" sub. So no; I will not stop linking https://www.gamingonlinux.com/ to this sub just because you got butt hurt.

It's not about being "butt hurt" it's about consequences for abusive behaviors. I don't think people who abuse their moderation powers and status should be rewarded with free advertisement on the place they committed their abuse.

I think that this community needs to change its displayed rules, since it seems that it does not apply to the moderators:
