Reddit forcing its will on the subs. It’s raping them. I vote to rename the place “Rapedit.”
It's the first time that Spez the tranny fucker has ever been a top.
So is there an origin for that nickname for spez?
Back when I was on Faggit the fastest way to get suspended was by suggesting that Spez gets more than free jannies out of the deal when he lets troons be power mods. The closer I came to implying that he's a tranny fucker the faster and harder I would get whacked. I deduced that it struck a nerve for him.
My 8 year old account was banned a few years ago because I criticized trans surgeries and the trans agenda.
Spez married a sheboon. She's way more masculine than I am. Fucking a tranny would be an upgrade from that.
Nah that's the other shithead, Ohanian, although I wouldn't be surprised if the gorilla was pegging them both.
For those wondering Ohanian married one of the Williams sisters best known for hurling insults at both other players and umpires in tennis. Also getting their assets handed to them by a low tennis seed male player.
IIRC there was fuckery about posts involving the sister[s] at the time which was heavily suggested to be a result of admin interference/nepotism.
Yeah when the hilarious pic of one of em as a gorilla stamping in frustration came out.
That's literally his user name on Reddit.
I meant the “tranny fucker” part.
All of the Reddit power mods are trannies. This came out in a Vice (Vox?) documentary after another of the Reddit founders made a comment about a relationship between the owners and the mods.
You can verify that via reddit mostly, too.
Preddit is still my favorite
Faggit and Peddit are also good.
This isn't the first time reddit has done this. They also did it with T_D and a few other subs.

Just how stupid are these people?
Not stupid, just spoiled and entirely unexperienced with reality. Probably never got vitamin N from their parents, much less felt the bite of belt on their asses.
It's "participation trophy" thinking. Also known in Marxist economics as the Labor Theory of Value. They think that, because they worked SO HARD on it, that alone makes them valuable "workers." It has nothing to do with the objective value of whatever "work" they did, they simply deserve ownership of the thing because they worked on it. In their minds they would deserve to be paid if they dug a bunch of holes and then filed them back in with dirt.
They think they hold any power because they moderate a sub..
Oh noo, the Chinese owned company is taking Chinese level measures to stop the peasants from protesting?
They're running jannies over with tanks now? Send vids, the schadenfreude would be through the roof.
I'd pay to see that.
Could be a way for Reddit to go cash-positive.
Let it fucking burn.
Only know the story of adviceanimal.
Basically the current mods didn't want to go dark. Top mod came back after basically a year of being inactive and said "Hey, we go dark" and hit the button. One of the other mods petitioned to get top mod. He got it.
Basically the same thing that happened at the original KiA.
I believe the KIA incident was actually cited in some of those mod chats as precedent for "single mods can't go against the will of the mod team."
They're still whining that KIA hasn't gone the way of TIA and SJIA. Of course all know it's because they banned any discussion about trannies whatsoever because of Faggit's bad faith behavior surrounding the topic.
It did prove the mods right in one way though. They did manage to keep themselves open despite everyone else falling. All it took was becoming a useless figurehead of controlled opposition (even if they didn't know they were) and completely stagnant.
A true example of how surviving is sometimes the most pathetic victory you can take.
TIA and SJIA?
r/tumblrinaction and r/socialjusticeinaction. Those were the last 2 subs that allowed open discussion of the tranny problem and they got nuked for it.
TIA only allowed discussion of the tranny problem because at some point in its last few years it became an actual TERF infestation.
That's why it changed from "generalized tumblr dumb shit, usually wokeness" to "trannies and more trannies, don't you dare insult women or feminism though."
Yeah, the comments there were a weird mix of based and muh misogyny, and I believe that happened after they purged the TERF subs. I suppose I excused the TERFy nature of the place more than I should have since they were the only ones willing to talk about the tranny problem. It's clear that they had a lot of refugees from r/itsafetish.
Yeah, like I'm all for anti-trannies memes and laughter.
But this was just different shades of evil trying to position themselves as the good ones by pointing at someone else.
thanks!
The only vague discussion of the cult of reddit was the funny satire subreddit- antihatecommunities. But I understand that was recently nuked too.
You can’t even joke about the problems in Stalin’s Russia.
Anyone know how the cat is? 🤔
Hahahahahah, omg could that left wing cesspool be any more of a stereotype of the left wing?
Wow they couldn't just wait another day?
They are willing to totally isolate the userbase just to get that IPO aren't they?
Maybe they've finally decided to neutralize this tactic once and for all. Remember when they bent over like a bitch in response to a blackout demanding they nuke r/nonewnormal? It gave the tranny jannies the idea that they're really the ones running the show, and now those tranny jannies are endangering Spez the tranny fucker's extortion scheme. I think this is about putting the tranny jannies in their place and putting a stop to the effective veto they've had over major decisions. This would be great news if the admins were willing to be the adults in the room, but of course they aren't so things won't improve. Still, watching tranny jannies get knifed is always fun.
Haven't they been in IPO-mode for like half a decade?
I always assumed there was too much CP and convicted pedos as admins/moderators to do an IPO?
(ghislaine maxwell, many other mods etc)
Someone leaked Spez's internal memo saying that it would blow over like every other time, just wait a day or two, so a lot of mods responded with indefinitely having the subs set to private.
This is the first I've heard of this story of reddit forcing subs open, but that is the story as I've pieced it together from the outside.
They shouldn’t be surprised. The Predditor moderators are an unpaid workforce trying to unionize. The new Predditors are more than willing to enjoy their crumb of power and chances to exploit kids.
And all the leftists in the world don't have enough critical thinking skills between them to realize this is exactly what happens when you stop being a useful idiot for the tyrants.
As soon as you start to ask questions, you're thrown overboard for someone who won't.
You don’t understand, in America after the revolution, Socialism will work differently than Socialism always works everywhere.

Unfortunately, Reddit has a long history of doing this to subreddits they don't like. They claim some nonsense of the sub being "unmoderated", and then put in their Quick Reaction Force jannies.
If you see any of us mods forcibly replaced by admins on Reddit, I want you to replicate the scene from Star Trek 3: The Search For Spok.
If we get replaced (which I doubt, they'd just close us), then burn that sumbitch down.
lol
Reddit reminding moderators who actually owns the site and has all the power in their relationship.
This isn't the first time. It happened a number of years ago when they banned TheDonald, and forced a multitude of right-leaning subreddits into quarantine. I'm sure there's some sort of archive out there detailing the whole debacle.
With 'debacle' you must mean intended purpose.
Let them fight
Fascists gonna fascist. The admins need to keep open the avenues of communicating the leftist Narrative.
Bahahahahaahaaaa haaaa! Tranny Jannies are getting a dose of reality.
Hahahahahahaha.
I’m having a tough time picking sides here. Both are horrible. But on the plus side I finally said fuck it and deleted my Reddit account and app. Good riddance.
Point. Laugh. Buy more extra salty popcorn. Fortify the walls against 'refugees'.
no to eternal september besides reruns get old after a bit
hahahahaha
Good. I'm tired of having archives of technical knowledge being locked over this faggotry.
lmao get fucking rekt
Lol no shit. They've done it before
When was the "blackout" supposed to end?
It seems like most subs are back online.
The commie kid fucker jannies are trying to push subs to keep dark until "their demands are met".
Fucktards might as well be stomping their feet demanding that an avalanche stop. Reddit admins will yank their mod status, ban then and replace them with new useful idiots.
The thing is this shit has worked before (see the shit show surrounding r/nonewnormal) so it's not as insane as it sounds. Of course the administration was ideologically aligned with the tranny jannies' demands that time, and the latter are too retarded to see the difference. Still, it's clear that the tranny jannies still think they're running the show as a result of this shit working before. That's why I speculated in one of responses here that they're putting the tranny jannies in their place this time to neutralize the blackout tactic going forward. Apparently it's news to these retards that rewarding bad behavior results in more of it.
But has the "official" blackout end time pass yet? Cause some of the subs I frequent mentioned they were going dark, are up now. I am wondering if they pussed out so i can LOLz and their mods.
Everything should be back up within the next couple hours if they didn't extend it. I saw things start go dark on the evening of the 11th, but I'm in the US and they were probably using UTC, so that makes sense. Some subs extended it so the 14th was inclusive, so that's 72 hours. We're a couple hours into the 15th UTC, so it should be pretty much done now.
Yeah official time was 12th to 14th so ~48 hours. No exact times were given due to "whenever a mod hits the button".
48 hours (from the 12th to the 14th) was the original plan, and I saw some extend it so the 14th was inclusive. There was some talk about extending it indefinitely, although I don't know how serious it was or if anyone is continuing it. Of course the whole thing becomes moot if they start purging jannies.
I’d say that doesn’t mean they can force users back but let’s be honest, motherfuckers are addicted to that shit.
