"My accounts WILL be restored"

Okay Karen.

I want to speak with Spez's manager!

lmao the sheer amount of entitlement on him. Truly a leopardsatemyface moment. Imagine tying your entire identity to being an unpaid lacky for a website that doesn't give two fucks about you, to the point that when you're let go you go nuclear.

It always does make you wonder how these people have the time to actively moderate 100+ subreddits without any compensation. That is, unless there are some under-the-table deals that we don't know about. I think moderators have been caught taking bribes before.

A petition to ban her was created, with implications made that she was being paid. Mind you, this was quite a few years ago.

I love how the majority of comments in this thread have a single downvote. I wonder who’s doing that 😂

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 years ago (22 children)

Unlike Reddit, you can see who "reduces" (downvotes) comments and threads. In a comment click on more -> activity -> reduces. Yes, it is all the same person.

Seems like we found turtle's ball licker's Kbin account!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Well since this isn't reddit you can actually look at who is downvoting. So whats up with all the downvotes @amnesiac7 ?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah interesting, seems he immediately downvoted you too!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just boosted everyone in the thread. No ones rep was harmed in the making of this comment section.

That account has been busy, too. 1 week old and has created 99 threads, mostly political rage bait.

Ooh, is his ghost in the room with us right now?

Good luck becoming mod of 1000 communities/magazines in the Fediverse, with them distributed across all sorts of different instances like this.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago

Touch an entire football field of grass, dude.

As long as Mr. Snrub has to rebuild his empire from scratch, it's still a win.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

I think he thinks being a moderator is an important job or something.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They sound very unpleasant

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't understand how they became a moderator on so many major subreddits.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

Especially if they're going to 6 monrhs without helping. Like why?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

ok why do we care about some other site's drama :3

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because you're literally browsing a magazine about that other site?

I agree that this particular mod getting banned isn't directly related to the migration efforts, but the overarching drama it's connected to is the main reason people are leaving Reddit for Lemmy. IE: admins becoming hostile towards moderators, developers, and redditors, resulting in an environment that the whole userbase is trying to flee. So even though I don't care about this "power-tripping asshole mod" (as another Lemming described him), I get how some people here might find the post useful and relevant.

Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he's finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Of course they're claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it's the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Lmao what a goober

Turtle has always been a douche canoe. It's fun to see them melt down.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit is gonna die in a hot fire and we are all here for this!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Lmao finally

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

That's actually pretty funny

[–] Quills 15 points 2 years ago

Bruh momentum

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

This made my day. Happy Friday all!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

It took a few years but they finally listened to the Petition! : https://www.change.org/p/reddit-mods-ban-u-awkwardtheturtle
