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 ).
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.
Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.
I mean, the benefit to Lemmy is that it is easy to create a new instance to replace ones controlled by power hungry mods.
Sure, I just hope it plays out like that. I can easily imagine a situation where instances or communities get too big to fail. What's the point in creating a splinter community where 10 or 100 users migrate to when all the content and discussion takes place in the original community.
On reddit I had started boringdystopia despite there already being the bigger aboringdystopia because I disliked the moderation. I surprisingly saw decent growth in the sub as well.
So just because there’s a bigger “original” out there, doesn’t mean you can’t do well and make a working community.
Ya thats what i wonder bc that kinda happened on reddit.
Ya but how easy would it be to get people to actually move there. Even tho on Reddit theres a rule against duplicate subs there were ways around that (like "real___" or "___uncensored") but the problem was that some ppl just didnt care about poor conduct and the replacement subs sometime ended up not taking off or being overrun by an extreme group (tho sometime it did work.) So I wonder about that here bc a lot of ppl use that to say this isnt a problem here
You dont even need to go to a new instance you can just join another comunity on a different server
Aaaaaand he's gone
Well that's not what I meant when I said to suspend akwardtheturtle but I guess it succeeded.
It's almost hilarious that this guy was given a taste of his own medicine.
Please let them stay away from the Fediverse... Stay the fuck away from Lemmy and Kbin. Get out, touch grass and eat some ice cream but stay away from us.
I would take anything this chode says with a huge grain of salt, but it was pretty clear that he was buddies with admins and other "power"-mods because he was not only getting away with stuff that others were getting banned for left and right, but I personally have been perma-banned for "harassment" a couple times for even bringing up their toxic behavior and why I think it was a problem to different mod teams.
Anyway they're mentally unwell, their dick is small and they can go fuck themselves.
Decent guys with small dicks are twenty miles above this turd.
The two bad guys fighting each other, ~~just like in Russia~~
They're still fighting, just not in public view .
Major "you can't fire me, I quit!" vibes
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 don't particularly feel bad for you.
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.
I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these "super" mods
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
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.
Turdle is a hypocritical piece of shit
He was banned BECAUSE he was badmouthing Reddit. Some of his subs were participating in the blackout and he had pinned some stuff about it. I thought it was very interesting.
I feel like the fact his username is actually u/awkwardtheturtle is fairly relevant. awkwardturtle is someone else entirely.
Should platforms like kbin/lemmy/etc have limits to how many magazines/categories a single user can moderate?
Wouldn't this just encourage alt accounts to get around the rule? You're only hiding it with sockpuppets instead of allowing it to happen transparently.
I still think it’s a good idea. You can create alts to get around bans for instance, but it’s a powerful mod tool nonetheless. Most people will see the rule and stop there, and if they don’t then it’s a good way to justify an IP ban for repeat offenders.
As an aside, the thought of the kind of person that would break rules so that they can provide extra unpaid labor makes me queasy.
Yes , 5 max maybe 10 thats it.
Its not really possible. Just open a new community on another instance
Karma
I’m a little bit out of the loop here… Why don’t we like awkwardtheturtle?
From what I’ve learned in the last week, it seems like they abused their mod powers in some of the subs they were on. Someone at Reddit probably used all the chaos to get rid of them now, when many people had been complaining about them for a long time.
I'm pretty sure she's a woman, but yes fuck her.
Love how the sycophants act all indignant like they weren't kissing ass and licking boots yesterday. Same fuckers that enacted the will of reddit against normal users now want to be seen as fellow refugees.
They can all get fucked.
Hes just bitter and angry that his only way to power trip and his only fullfilling "thing" is gone.
Double-Schadenfreude.
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?
