Yup. As far as I’m aware most Christians would disagree with the notion that Satan rules hell, and it’s not a doctrine in any major denomination.
Comment on What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?

It’s Christian fanfic. There is surprisingly little about Hell in actual scripture, definitely not the “hell” we’ve come to expect from modern media.

Doubt. Most Christians have never read the Bible, and their understanding comes from pop culture.

I believe in the scripture there’s mostly talk about weeping and gnashing of teeth, right?

The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t even explicitly hell.
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
It’s just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it’s not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.

The other things Jesus says and Revelation does heavily imply that it’s hell.

Thank you. It’s been a while since I read the Bible the last time.

And even on Dante's Inferno Satan is just another prisoner, not a ruler.

Yeah—Milton’s Paradise Lost seems closer to the modern conception.

Paradise Lost is a fun read.
