I feel a grim joy from this. Joy in that these fools are finally experiencing first hand the callousness of the "right side of history"/lefty types when you step out of line; grim in that it is a fifty fifty on whether or not they realize their part in building and supporting this kind of system and learn from the situation.
Their takeaway from all this will be "capitalism bad", because Reddit is a company and thus represents the entire economic system. Who's running Reddit, who Reddit caters to, and which demographic has dominated Reddit for nearly a decade? Completely irrelevant.
even for movements like GG the mods were a cancerous element
Were? Our current tranny janny is a cancer on this community. Not only does he get off on whacking good faith posters but he takes his sweet ass time getting to the shit that actually needs jannying.
fifty fifty on whether or not they realize their part in building and supporting this kind of system and learn from the situation
They're tranny jannies. They're not capable of learning from their fuck ups. If they were they wouldn't spend 18 hours a day in mommy's basement censoring wrong think on the internet because they would have real lives.
The middle ones, the 'biggest mods' pay Reddit a LOT of money to keep their status so they are untouchable. Those are the worst of them too.
These are the ones who refuse to pay a lot ($5k is nothing compared to what some of the bigger ones have given) and are the ones willing to fight the admins. They are just being replaced, likely by alts of the 'biggest mods' but I can't confirm that.
Because it doesn't seem like the top mods could afford the whale lifestyle.
Special Interest Groups pay them directly to allow or remove content so Reddit can pretend they aren't involved. They make a lot of money by moderating based on how companies tell them.
The method they are using is obscene. The mods log in, approve something, then are immediately logged out and locked out across the account. Every mod who tries to approve it has the same treatment.
It is like firing someone by putting a bag over their head and dragging you out onto the street. Kind of amusing to see.
I can't speak for other mods but the one making the complaint involved posting fruits and vegetables that could be construed as sexual to keep all the posts NSFW but avoid posting porn. That's what they nailed them for trying to approve.
Might just be one of the reasons mods get banned or he got caught up in the clusterfuck.
I visited a subreddit that was linked somewhere in those discussions (IIRC r/interestingasfuck) and it was 80% people complaining about porn and 20% porn. Which I found odd until I saw a comment in the archived thread above that mods were encouraging people to post porn to formerly SFW subs in protest.
While people in jobs specifically intended to misinform and sow discord are my enemy, I can sort of understand them needing money to provide for themselves because they lack any real skills or means to do so without being a cog in the system. This doesn't buy mercy, mind you, but at least there's an understanding it came from a cowardly and filthy attempt to not starve, pushing on other's heads to keep oneself float.
The reddit mods, however, now being thrown away like so much trash, did it all for free and that makes me belly laugh in pleasure. In this case, not just did it for free but paid money to do it for free. It just keeps getting funnier.
many of them are literal jannies, unpaid losers duped into being useful idiots, wasting their lives away censoring shitposts from a porn forum (reddit's leaked IPO docs admitted the site traffic is majority porn).
but many of them are more insidious than that. in 2016 after trump won, political action groups started a coalition to take over mod roles on practically all social media. enter the reddit powermods. they have mod roles on over 90% of the top 10k subs, and 60%+ of the top 100k. this was exposed in the banout2018 scandal.
the reason why any of this is a controversy at all is because the powermods use a massive API abusing censorship tool to keep an iron grip over practically all site content. and they make millions off this every single month. all of the whining about blind people apps and the third party app being better than the dogshit official reddit app... all of that is a distraction. it's entirely about the censorship tool not qualifying for the "moderation tool" discount. reddit doesn't want to admit that extremists took over their site, and the extremists don't want to admit they're making millions. and that's why there's this stupid fucking standoff.
I don't doubt anything you've said, but I do have a question. How are the unpaid mods making millions via censorship? Are you saying they are sponsored/paid actors of some activist org or something?
some of it is funding from political action groups. others are shilled marketing campaigns/blackmail.
notice how most of reddit softbans outlinks, but occasionally lets some sites through? yeah, they paid for it.
covid was a huge money maker in itself... the political groups funneled millions from government grants. ever wonder why citing CDC or UKPH data which went against the covid narrative was universally a sitebannable offense? yeah. it's because they were paid millions to censor.
I never actually got perma banned from any subs (and if someone temp banned me, I just never went back) but I got my account locked (under my own name even) by admins.
I don't feel too bad because the writing was on the wall for a LONG time and they perpetuated this corrupt site throughout the plandemic, but it does suck to be locked out of your own comments versus losing some access.
If you commented in any of the ever increasing amount of "wrongthink" subs, including KiA, you were automatically permabanned from 30+ subs ran by powermods, you just probably never noticed because you didn't go there anyway.
I wouldn't put it past one of the nutters he banned to violently take him out. Being an internet janny is all they have to live for. This gonna be fun.
hey reddit mods, you know what will really chap reddit's ass? Telling people the shady (most likely illegal) shit you guys and reddit done over the years.
According the the mod's Reddit comments, he netted a profit of 15k off the 5k spent. Imagine being one of the dupes who bought NFTs on the downswing, or using nu.reddit and being plastered with this dogshit.
This reminds me of how Ronald Reagan dealt with striking air traffic controllers, how Margaret Thatcher dealt with striking miners and how Bruce Gyngell dealt with striking technicians at TV-AM. This move by Spez has the potential to bring about lasting change for boycotts and moderation as those events did in relation to employment rights, the role of employees and the ability of striking (protesting) workers to be able to bring a company to its knees.

That sounds like an identity attack on moderators that's a 1000000 year ban kid you're done
Yup. Watching that den of pedophiles burn has no downsides for me. Tranny jannies are beyond redemption.
I find joy in that people I despise are suffering from their own hubris.
Jannie-type moderators are totally incapable of learning from anything.
They're tranny jannies. They're not capable of learning from their fuck ups. If they were they wouldn't spend 18 hours a day in mommy's basement censoring wrong think on the internet because they would have real lives.
This actually doesn't tell the whole story, check /r/Undelete to see the deleted thread but it is fascinating.
They are bullying the biggest mods out of their positions if they don't cowtow.
Does "biggest mods" include these power mods that control dozens of the top subreddits or only smaller scapegoats?

Isn't it more likely that some org "hiring" the powermods pays the money? Because it doesn't seem like the top mods could afford the whale lifestyle.

Some yes. Awkwardtheturtle was hit. N8thegr8 (on his alt Karmanacht) was hit.
merari never joined the blackout so is save.
Oh shit, you're right. Awkward has been suspended. No amount of loyalty to The Cause is sufficient. If they disobey their masters, they're punished.
I hope the tens of thousands of hours xhe spent doing it for free was worth it. Must be feeling super good about that right now.
What is the full story?
Who would have thought you could get fired from an unpaid “job”

As I understand it, these mods encouraged posting porn in SFW communities which is why they're being taken out back.

All that salt can't be healthy :D
it's a lot more complicated than this.

That is fucking hilarious! Hopefully the tranny jannie cabal is able to cope, seethe and dilate.
"c-comrades! don't do this to me! no!"
FACE THE WALL, JANNIE!

And I thought Fortnite skins were bad.
Don't forget the funko pops.
Is Cuckold a janny or just a poster?
Mods are just getting a taste of their own medicine. This is wonderful.
More than that, they're getting the admin hammer.
I never actually got perma banned from any subs (and if someone temp banned me, I just never went back) but I got my account locked (under my own name even) by admins.

Suddenly those Onlyfans simps sound like really big brain investors :D
That's a lot of NEETbux
Maaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhm more Hot Pockets! And refer to me as XIR!
Anyone remember the killzone that was Gamergate's inception?
It was these jannies that allowed that to happen - fuck em'
Reddit is the new Digg.
Get the popcorn, the tranny janny purge has begun.
Holy shit! I don't think I've spent 5k on ANY avatars or skins! I'm both impressed and saddened to hear that level of addiction.
Imagine spending any money on plebbit, let alone $5k+.
At least when I blow money on World of Warships I get something for it.
Stop making me cheer for that pedo Spez!!
I wouldn't put it past one of the nutters he banned to violently take him out. Being an internet janny is all they have to live for. This gonna be fun.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Probably also bitching about how they can't afford the cost of living and they need more government handouts.
I'd be willing to bet I've not spent $5,000 on video games in my entire life combined. I've spent $0 on "collectible" avatars.
According to my 20 year old Steam account I've got $6200 worth of purchases.
A lot of these subreddits have mod posts that say "my subreddit" instead of "our subreddit" when explaining why they gave up in the protest.
5K for what amounts to bragging rights and "Look at me!" dickie-waving on a Communist-adjacent website?
Sometimes problems just sort themselves out.
hey reddit mods, you know what will really chap reddit's ass? Telling people the shady (most likely illegal) shit you guys and reddit done over the years.
No? Okay, stay mad.
Bitch.
Lul, wonder if this will make the new number 51%.
https://old.reddit.com/r/modcoord is fucking hilarious.
Mods are basically suffering the same terror they subjected users to. "The admins won't tell us what's going on!!!", YOU HAVE BEEN MUTED FOR 28 DAYS.
Also, isnt reddit hq worried one of these insane mods would pay them a visit?
What's the quote again?
"You get what you fucking deserve."
Fucking retards decided to nsfw their entire sub, thinking they were so smart.

I would honestly like to see a regressive leftist riot take out reddit lol.

If we're lucky, those people will migrate here.
Unlucky....
