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 ).
It’s almost hilarious that this guy was given a taste of his own medicine.
Oh, is that’s who it is? If so, fuck them.
Weren’t they a massive dick about as well, it wasn’t just an accusation without evidence.
Seems like everyone here deserves eachother.
This case is actually even funnier because that mod turned out to be right! The art was AI generated! Aspects of other people’s watermarks and other AI giveaways were left in the final art so either the whole picture was ai generated and the sketches were done after or it’s all AI generated.
Edit: this might’ve been wrong. I’m unable to find my original source to back this up so take this story as hearsay. I’ll leave it up for history sake though.
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.
Turtle is the most drama-seeking person I’ve seen on Reddit and I’ve been there a long time. They always seek out drama and then screenshot it and post it to r/CenturyClubDrama. They contribute like 80% of the total posts to that sub. They also post really long rants and then ban the person they’re ranting at so the person can’t comment back. Don’t be like turtle.
That fucking CenturyClub bullshit; I lasted about 2 days after getting invited to the subreddit a few years ago. What a morass of powermod drama queens and groupthink twats. For some god-unknown reason, I got an re-invite during the protest blackouts from one of their mods, no clue why. Because they were going to talk me out of shutting down a +1M sub?
I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these “super” mods
I highly doubt this is anything but a sad attempt at getting some good PR. We’ve seen other big mods suspended supposedly permanently who suddenly negotiated their way out of it. Reddit has no reason to lose such a great employee, if they did this person would have been banned years ago.
Employee? These people are doing it for free!
Yeah, that’s the point.
The best employees are the ones who would do anything to stay ‘employed’ even when you don’t pay them.
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.
Asshole CEO and Power-tripping mods in a stand-off. I love it.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
Betrayal gives way to strong feelings of animosity. I have a supposition that most of you would do the same thing. If you were a moderator of a very large subreddit, would you really want to lose your position? If so, why?

It’s not about having wants, it’s about having principles.
I don’t understand what you are trying to say. I do agree that principles are fundamental, and should be prioritized above all else. However, for what reason would you prioritize them, rather than be selfish?

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.
Please let them stay away from the Fediverse… Stay the fuck away from Lemmy and Kbin. Get out, touch grass and eat some ice cream but stay away from us.
Agree.
Also Mmmm, its not too early for ice cream is it?
Is it ever?
I decided to agree, and ate the ice cream despite the time of day.
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.
I got banned from r/entertainment for criticizing Lizzo’s outfit when the whole crystal flute nontroversy happened, nothing racial, nothing about her weight or about the flute-playing itself, just that I thought her outfit she was wearing looked trashy. BANNED. Reddit has been on the decline for awhile now. I just wish I could filter out ANY news of Reddit on other sites, it’s kind of annoying how much sites like Lemmy.world still lean on Reddit for content instead of trying to do their own thing.
Oh yeah I hate how many posts are just Reddit links.
Do people not know you still help by visiting?
(they don’t, people are dumb 😂)
Yea, I’ve been going cold turkey since 6/11. I thought the whole point was to NOT GO so that Reddit could see how unpopular its decision was. It kind of feels like people are just not bothering with even trying to protest. I’m sure those that stick around will have a series of annual “that’s it, I’m done” moments coming in the future as Reddit makes more and more unpopular decisions and people just put up with it because they couldn’t even go a few weeks without visiting the site. I’ve already made my peace with the fact that Reddit is gone and I’m ready to move on. At this point I’d be more conflicted if they actually backed down on their stupid API policy and let 3rd party apps back on.
Yup, that sounds like AwkwardTheTurtle.
That’s how I lost my original 10+ year Reddit account.
Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.
How does that solve the issue? If you are banned from a community you won’t be able to post or comment to it
You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.
Bans people for being men and gamers 😖
Gets banned too 😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
