Rasterman (npub1e8v…s7yy) If I had to ballpark when he really started to go off the rails, I would say it was at the end of 2014.
At that point, his last steady donor, Frazier Glenn Miller, had been imprisoned since April of that year for shooting and killing a few people at a retirement home in Kansas.
So Linder was feeling the financial bite of not having that money coming in anymore, and he started making outrageous demands on the VNN forum users. He wanted everyone to pony up what would collectively amount to $2500 every 3 months, or he threatened to shut the forum down.
It didn’t cost anything even in the area code of $2500 per quarter to run VNN, it was obvious that he was demanding that VNN users pay his living expenses, the megalomaniac glownigger.
So unsurprisingly, no one gave him a dime and he shut VNN down in a melodramatic fit, only to reopen it a couple weeks later once he saw that people were moving on to other venues and settling in as regulars where they landed.
I caught a ban from Varg not long after that, and moved on myself. But I did hear about some of Linder’s further craziness, most notably his demand that everyone on VNN post under their real names, which I believe was around 2015 or so.
I didn’t encounter Linder again until 2017 on Gab, and Varg a couple years later in 2019 when I was a regular at FSE and Linder opened Pieville on the Fedi.
