FYI Spez is a pedophile piss-boy.

What's the origin of the pedo accusation?

Edit: Is pedophile on the list of words we're gonna make meaningless now?

He was the moderator of a sub called "jailbait" for a long time. What's less clear is if that was something he did on purpose or if someone else assigned him as a mod as a prank assuming he wouldn't notice

I always wondered why a subreddit like that was allowed to exist in the first place. I guess I have my answer now.

As I remember it, reddit got its start when "internet culture" was pretty heavily downstream of 4chan/somethingawful/ytmnd. And pedo-type behaviour was pretty normalized in those spaces.

When someone invites you to become a moderator you have to click a couple times to accept. It was no accident.

Not exactly. In the olden days of reddit no confirmation on your part was necessary.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks!

That wasn't how it worked at first. Back when I first joined Reddit you could be made moderator of a sub by another user without confirmation

He could have removed himself.
