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.
Sure, I just hope it plays out like that. I can easily imagine a situation where instances or communities get too big to fail. What’s the point in creating a splinter community where 10 or 100 users migrate to when all the content and discussion takes place in the original community.
Ya but how easy would it be to get people to actually move there. Even tho on Reddit theres a rule against duplicate subs there were ways around that (like “real___” or “___uncensored”) but the problem was that some ppl just didnt care about poor conduct and the replacement subs sometime ended up not taking off or being overrun by an extreme group (tho sometime it did work.) So I wonder about that here bc a lot of ppl use that to say this isnt a problem here
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.
I’ve been disenfranchised by the mods for a long time, so while I don’t like seeing what use to be a good thing burn to the ground, it really is rooted at the poor administration overall at the site that allowed abusive moderators to run major subs. This outcome is more akin to the snake eating its own tail, but I agree. These toxic abusive moderators getting booted out of a major vein of public discourse is only going to be a positive.
Aaaaaand he’s gone
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!
It’s almost hilarious that this guy was given a taste of his own medicine.
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.
Are you sure about that? I know that was the case with some recent AI-accused artists, but I haven’t seen this specific case mentioned.
The reason I ask is that:
A. There’s nothing I can find online. If you have a link, I’d love to be proven wrong.
B. After looking again art the image in question from January of this year, I don’t see any watermarks or AI tells (hands look perfect and natural, and I couldn’t spot any watermark residuals).
I think I might’ve been wrong here. I had heard and looking into it at the time but it’s possible I mixed multiple stories in my head that happened at the same/similar time. My original source was from a news YouTube channel that I watch/listen to but it wasn’t the headlining news of the video and it was months ago so I have no idea how to search it and see what sources they used.
Sorry if I accidentally spread any misinformation here.
I would take anything this chode says with a huge grain of salt, but it was pretty clear that he was buddies with admins and other “power”-mods because he was not only getting away with stuff that others were getting banned for left and right, but I personally have been perma-banned for “harassment” a couple times for even bringing up their toxic behavior and why I think it was a problem to different mod teams.
Anyway they’re mentally unwell, their dick is small and they can go fuck themselves.
