Least controversial day on Reddit.

The fact that even happened tbh is insane tbh, but I’m so glad that people are now jumping ship tbh esp what the dumb decisions Reddit has made in the past couple of years.

I'm not going to reddit can someone explain what it is ? Somebody paid a mod to promote a website ? what posts ? I don't even know how reddit works exactly. Are promoted posts not allowed or very obvious ? They didn't disclose ?

This is a copy and paste from one of the mods of r/Piracy:

The mod u/ Furdiburd10 who manually approved and stickied the post has been removed from the mod team. Reddit's spam filter actually caught it early on and the community helped mass report. They also fully censored comments from yall calling it out.

Sorry we let this slip. This shit happened seven years ago too for folks that were around that time: https://torrentfreak.com/reddits-piracy-sub-reddit-reopens-after-mutiny-shutdown-170523/

Edit: If you were banned by this loser or muted, please DM me and I'll comb through the logs and work on reinstating you back.

I took a bribe on my Minecraft server once. Although I made them change it from going to me to being a direct donation and keeping it a secret. I also confirmed it with the owner who was basically paying for it out of pocket lol. Good times.

Never assume you are asking some upper crust, high minded group.
