So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).
Lol.
An actual bad person when given mod status in too many subs: “This site is great”
Site admins ban him and deny appeals
The bad person: “This site is exploitative!!”
Reddit sucks, but this is probably the one good thing to come from Reddits recent actions.
Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.
I mean, the benefit to Lemmy is that it is easy to create a new instance to replace ones controlled by power hungry mods.
trying to encourage a code of morality, as seen in my post for mildly infuriating a few days ago mentioning some of the actions these moderators had done against the community and why they are bad for the health of it.
I hope being one of the large communities it offers a template for those to follow, I might not always get it right but I hope to do my best to eliminate it here. Bad mods ruined reddit.
Bad mods weren’t the only thing contributing to the downfall of Reddit. Infact, Id argue most moderators of Reddit were genuinely good and helped foster each subreddit community in a reasonable manner. As with all things that involve humans, there will always be bad actors, but I think overall I had maybe 2 instances I can remember in all my 14 years of Reddit where a bad moderator removed content because they didnt agree with it.
Image Transcription: Reddit
This website is exploitative garbage with no respect given to all the app makers and third party developers that have kept its decrepit heart beating all this time, submitted by /u/awkwardtheturtle to /u/awkwardtheturtle
/u/spez is a liar and a hypocrite, the admins are two-faced goons, and they are all toxic embarrassments instead of people. They seemed ok when I met them in person (though tiny Spez did seem like he had a lot to compensate for), but promises and assurances from people like chtorrr and redtaboo have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are stooges, not innovators.
Let it all burn to the ground where this useless website belongs
I’m a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!
I can’t wait for the future where ai can very reliably transcribe anything for the blind folks out there so they can freely browse stuff like we all do.
I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these “super” mods
Bans people for being men and gamers 😖
Gets banned too 😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
I’m a little bit out of the loop here… Why don’t we like awkwardtheturtle?
She’s sexist against nonbinary people. She used to identify as nonbinary, but when she got banned from r/ennn for gender essentialism, she threw a temper tantrum about it and said she was going to be a trans woman because enbies are mean.
How can you be gender essentialist and non-binary at the same time? Also, how can you suddenly decide to be a trans woman? These things make no sense. Was she mentally disturbed?
She mods r/twoxchromosomes, the “women’s” sub. The mods are all aware that the name is transphobic, and they knew it a month from when the sub was created. They decided to continue promoting the sub with the transphobic premise until it became a default. They could have made a new sub, especially back when it was brand new, and redirected traffic. But they pushed the transphobia up until it was presented to every single new reddit user for years. I told her she could distance herself from that transphobia, or she could get banned from the nonbinary meme sub. She chose the latter and decided to throw a tantrum against all of nonbinary people about it.
Ahh that would explain my ban from there and me not missing that sub. So much toxic there. Can’t question or be “against” women at all. Which is a shame, but led me to the witches against the patriarchy which was a wonderful sub
Oh, witchesvspatriarchy? That’s the sub where the mods told me that nonbinary people having a voice in feminism is a threat to women. That’s the reason they “center women” on the sub, they think that allowing equality of gender diverse (non-cisman) perspectives is dangerous.
I hope they don’t end up over here. “Power mods” are just the worst.
I got banned from a sub for a relatively tame normal opinion about something or other, like a video game or something. Sent a mod mail asking what happened and what could I do to make it right, got muted and then banned from 10 more subs immediately.
I just nuked my 15 year 750k karma account after giving him a piece of mind to each modmail box. I’ll absolutely burn the earth before letting some internet loser feel like he runs my life lol.
That’s how I lost my original 10+ year Reddit account.
