Holy shit , ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
It's beautiful, like a firework in a tire fire.
I'll drink to that.

This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.

Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn't have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban "wasn't enough," they gave a longer ban so I would "learn my lesson."

Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.

you got banned for replying to a post someone else made in a wrong sub?

This mod was infamous for banning people from uncontroversial subs for the sin of commenting in subs they didn't approve of, regardless of content. Like if you made a comment in /r/conservative making fun of Donald, they'd ban you from /r/videos for being a Republican.

This couldn't have happened to a more deserving dirtbag.

Considering that this is the most hated person on Reddit other than spez himself, no tears were shed.

Unfamiliar with the person. What's he infamous for? What sort of chodelicious behavior defines him to you?

[โ€“] jherazob@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here's a post from 2021 about this person giving some background. I recall even a change.org petition requesting them being banned.

Also, you might recall them for making the news recently after banning an artist from /r/art because they said a piece by them was made by AI, and when proven otherwise they said that it was obviously based on AI and that they should find a better style, which escalated to the point that the sub was temporarily closed

Seeing that person going down is a nice piece of justice in this shitstorm. It happened for the wrong reasons, admins should have removed this person long ago and didn't, but at least it's something.

How can you tell it was them in that r/art debacle?

[โ€“] Rhabuko@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Dipshits like this are the reason why moderators have such a bad reputation. Powermods in general are very controversial but this person takes the cake.

If they were an "absent mod" as they self-proclaim, why are they so salty?

[โ€“] wr4th4@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wow so one of them actually knows how it feels to just have all agency taken away without warning or good reason

[โ€“] Serinus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Only when it happens to them. They still won't understand when they inflict that on others.

What if this person comes to Lemmy or kbin and becomes a mod...yes, I'm asking the inevitable question.

[โ€“] curiosityLynx@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.

[โ€“] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit wasn't like that all the time. I do remember a time on Reddit where it was - or at least felt like it - a bit like it feels on Lemmy right now. Lots of nerdy outsider communities and admins who seemed to care. Not trying to be a negative nancy here, just a reality check or something like that.

Federation is over-hyped when joining or promoting. It's only really important when there's a problem.

It's like trying to sell a new car by featuring the warranty, or trying to sell a computer by talking about backups. Both important, but not a shiny selling point for new users.

I get why the devs want to feature federation. If you build a car, you're probably going to want to talk about the engine and its design. But the users just want "car go fast".
