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 ).

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?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these "super" mods

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!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Awkwardtheturtle was most likely the same asshole who unjustly banned a professional artist from /r/art on falsified accusations of using machine learning AI to produce his artwork.

It's almost hilarious that this guy was given a taste of his own medicine.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Asshole CEO and Power-tripping mods in a stand-off. I love it.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I hope they don’t end up over here. “Power mods” are just the worst.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

How does that solve the issue? If you are banned from a community you won't be able to post or comment to it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, that sounds like AwkwardTheTurtle.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

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 😂)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

That's how I lost my original 10+ year Reddit account.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Agree.

Also Mmmm, its not too early for ice cream is it?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Is it ever?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I decided to agree, and ate the ice cream despite the time of day.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I’m a little bit out of the loop here… Why don’t we like awkwardtheturtle?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Bans people for being men and gamers 😖

Gets banned too 😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
