News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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?

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!

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.

Turdle is a hypocritical piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 (5 children)

Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.

Betrayal gives way to strong feelings of animosity. I have a supposition that most of you would do the same thing. If you were a moderator of a very large subreddit, would you really want to lose your position? If so, why?

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

Yes, I would want to lose that position. I already have a job. Reddit is a diversion, not a life.

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

Well that's not what I meant when I said to suspend akwardtheturtle but I guess it succeeded.

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

I highly doubt this is anything but a sad attempt at getting some good PR. We've seen other big mods suspended supposedly permanently who suddenly negotiated their way out of it. Reddit has no reason to lose such a great employee, if they did this person would have been banned years ago.

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

Employee? These people are doing it for free!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

I am very much uncaring for turtles predicament. He or she was an ass to ever community at every possible chance. now it's expected the community help them out? Hell no, hope the removal is permanent

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah this seems like some selfawarewolves shit. And even in this whiny tirade they just couldn't leave some sort sexist/ableist/hateful insult off. As much as spez is a fucking tool, people like turtle are the bigger reason honestly the whole site had turned to diarrhea IMO - rampant assholes taking over the site.

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

Yeah I don't get why they felt the need to bring up spez being short (is that what they were getting at?) Seems childish. Who cares if he's not tall? What's that have to do with this..
