Reddit Migration

That’s messed up! Sorry to hear!

Wow. That really sucks.

Welcome to the fediverse, though!

Expected behavior from Steve Huffman's lackeys.

I’m glad I was forced to remove my Reddit crutch and dive in full force.

Pretty much the silver lining in all this. Best of luck to you and your adventures here in the Fediverse.

We are happy to have you. We need as many contributors here as we can get.

Friend, is there any truth to the rumours of a lawsuit from current and former mods against Reddit, for back pay? I'm pretty convinced there's a case there, and your story is a prime example. One argument from Reddit might be that you and the community were the primary beneficiaries of your volunteer labour, but for Reddit to take your mod powers unilaterally sure makes them look like an employer rather than a maintainer of a public forum.

In the US, there are no circumstances under which a private for-profit company can legally accept volunteer labour like that. Further strengthening your case would be how much Facebook pays for moderation of their platform. Reddit built an entire business on the backs of people like you, and your stake in that should be recognised and compensated.

I have to imagine the reason would have been this

This is a stickied comment on the pinned post from a deleted account around 11 hours ago. So I am assuming it was you. If I had to guess admin either decided to do it or another mod in that team complained to the admins because they wanted to take control.

holy fuck

i'm just some asshole with a 13+ year old account that would bitch and moan in the comments section

i can't imagine dedicating so much of my time to build a wonderful community and then being unceremoniously cast away as part of a large purge of dissent

The materials that make up the earth could only have been formed in the supernova of a 3rd or 4th generation star that has coalesced, ignited, lived, and died in this place since the birth of the universe.

The universe in general is expected to continue on for several billion TIMES longer than it has so far.

The disintegration of reddit seeds the raw materials for the next good thing.

And the Braindrain continues…

Welcome aboard!

Fuck Reddit!! Fuck spez!! 🖕🖕

I just deleted my account on Reddit. This behavior is not acceptable anymore at all. Sorry for what happened to you, this must feel disappointing and betraying having put so much of yourself into the platform that simply kicked your out of the door.

Let the tyranny begin.

Musk poured $44 billion into Twitter. The global population is 8 billion people. He could have given $5 billion to each individual and still had money left over. Most people’s lives would be changed if they received a $5 billion check. But he squandered it all on Twitter.God I want to have sex with Stelle from Honkai: Star Rail so fucking badly, I jerk my meat to Stelle porn multiple times a day and I still can’t stop thinking about her constantly. Her emotionless, uncaring face looking down at me as I stroke my beat my meat to her praying that she may one day materialize if I project my energies hard enoug.As far as we know the PAW Patrol has the capabilities of international travel and possible covert operation capabilities. However, the PAW Patrol failed to assist in any way during the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979, which is unacceptable seeing as the US diplomats were hostages from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. Could it be that the PAW Patrol is run by Islamic extremist that utilize PAW Patrol to increase positive images of the extremist, while also taking money from the UN? Or that the PAW Patrol is US run, and was told by the CIA to not intervene with the hostage crisis? If it is the former, why so? Could the Iran Hostage Crisis be a hoax, used to crack down on Iran for bringing down the monarchy that was ruling Iran, made possible by a coup from the US and UK?Paw patrol is police propaganda.Who's the main "pup"? That's right, you guessed it, Chase. Which "pup" experiences the most development? Chase. Who gets the most jobs? Chase again.Not on the contrary, who gets the least jobs? You guessed it, Rocky.Now, what's so significant about Rocky getting low representation within the series? Well two things, Rocky represents recycling and conservation, two ideologies that don't exactly like up with the opinions and supporters of the police. Well, so what, only some think like this, what else is amiss? Well, Rocky is a "mix-breed pup," and what do cops perpetrate the most in their crimes? Racism.The fact that they put this minority, obviously liberal "pup" in the least powerful position, and the obviously purebred police dog in the highest renown only proves this.TL;DR don't support paw patrol and it's insidious agenda to promote police to our children.Im gonna be blunt right now.Asking someone what their pronouns are is completely dumb and isn’t going to make a any kind of difference in daily life… in fact it’s prob more insulting to a trans person then anything else. People are gendered in daily life based on presentation… nothing is ever going to change this. People are gonna calls em like they sees em🤷‍♀️E.g Someone looks like a man - he/him Someone looks like a woman - She/herIf you want to be gendered correctly… then change your presentation to match what you wantThat random person in the super market isn’t going to say “they/them” if you look like a specific gender… they’re gonna say he/she. Wearing a sticker on your shirt with your pronouns isn’t going to change that. It just doesn’t make sense… it a complete waste of energy, you can’t make people use a specific pronoun for you… it’s the reality of the world that you’ll be gendered based on presentation.

@vaprzThe Fediverse is definitely the way to go for true freedom and inclusivity. Are there any other Reddit horror stories out there? Share your experiences

Sorry this happened to you. You deserve better.

I somehow ended up as the sole moderator for r/Corfu. It's a VERY slow subreddit. I'm not sure if I should ignore it, or if there's something I can do with the tiny lever of 'power'.

I'm sorry for what they put you through. I hope you find more joy here.

So many stories like yours are coming out. Thanks for sharing.

The momentum definitely seems to swinging Lenny’s way. Glad to see it.

I manually deleted all of my comments from the past 13 years because I don't trust an app to complete that process. It took a long time, partly because I revisited a few threads along the way. I'm feeling great about my content being unavailable to Reddit, regardless of whether anyone cares or misses it.

Yes, I do miss Reddit. No, I will not go back. Not because I don't find any value in it -- I do -- but because my personal sense of justice gets in the way of wanting to contribute any longer. The time I used to spend scanning Reddit for new information or drama or funny anecdotes is now spent thinking about how I can contribute to my community in other ways.
