lmao the sheer amount of entitlement on him. Truly a leopardsatemyface moment. Imagine tying your entire identity to being an unpaid lacky for a website that doesn’t give two fucks about you, to the point that when you’re let go you go nuclear.
- EuphoricPenguin ( @EuphoricPenguin22@normalcity.life ) English10•1 year ago
It always does make you wonder how these people have the time to actively moderate 100+ subreddits without any compensation. That is, unless there are some under-the-table deals that we don’t know about. I think moderators have been caught taking bribes before.

A petition to ban her was created, with implications made that she was being paid. Mind you, this was quite a few years ago.
- NoIWontPickaName ( @NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Why are you emphasizing pronouns when @euphoricpenguin22 didn’t use any gendered language?
- AmidFuror ( @AmidFuror@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
I thought the most remarkable thing was the “moderator” proclaiming their innocence by stating they hadn’t been to the sub in question for at least six months and never talk to the top mod.
- ArkhamCity ( @ArkhamCity@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
Turtle doesn’t mod for shit, nor do other mods with 1000+ subs. These people see themselves as ‘community leaders’ who set up org charts and make all the lower-rung mods do all the work for them. It’s incredibly toxic.

I love how the majority of comments in this thread have a single downvote. I wonder who’s doing that 😂
- BigJim ( @BigJim@kbin.social ) 50•1 year ago
Unlike Reddit, you can see who “reduces” (downvotes) comments and threads. In a comment click on more -> activity -> reduces. Yes, it is all the same person.

Seems like we found turtle’s ball licker’s Kbin account!

Oh man, that’s amazing. Thank you for that information
- imaqtpie ( @imaqtpie@kbin.social ) 10•1 year ago
What?!? That’s a fucking amazing feature, thanks for spreading the word.
- TZUI1hRq ( @TZUI1hRq@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
Not sure I like that feature…
- NoIWontPickaName ( @NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Accountability?
- TZUI1hRq ( @TZUI1hRq@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Anonymous voting incentivizes participation.
- NoIWontPickaName ( @NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
But is it the kind of participation you want?
- TZUI1hRq ( @TZUI1hRq@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
Yes, I want people’s honest opinions. Not just the opinions they are comfortable share publicly.
- zuluwalker ( @zuluwalker@kbin.social ) 3•1 year ago
I’m loving (Lemmy) kbin more and more with all these accountability features. Thanks for the education!
Edit: I apologize for the confusion. I realized the error a few mins after posting this. The fediverse is still confusing me a bit.
Edit2: I don’t see any strike through text formatting. Maybe in the next update?
- 4815162342 ( @4815162342@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 year ago
Regarding strike through text formatting, it’s markdown, so you just type two tildes on each side of the text to strike through like this:
~~[insert text]~~
, and you get[insert text].Here’s CommonMark’s quick reference for some other basics: https://commonmark.org/help/
- JshKlsn ( @JshKlsn@lemmy.ml ) 0•1 year ago
I don’t see “activity”. Weird.
- RheingoldRiver ( @RheingoldRiver@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
It’s under “more”
- passthepotato ( @passthepotato@aussie.zone ) 1•1 year ago
Hmm, I don’t see it either. Expanding “more” on a reply gives me:
Up, Down, Reply, PM, Report, Block, Fav, View Source.
Maybe we’re missing something obvious? XD
TY in advance if we are :)
- RheingoldRiver ( @RheingoldRiver@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
ahhh are you on lemmy? this is a kbin thing
- passthepotato ( @passthepotato@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Oh, true?! Much to learn, I still have.
Thank you stranger :)
- RheingoldRiver ( @RheingoldRiver@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
tbh I didn’t realize until this thread! So we both learned :)
- JshKlsn ( @JshKlsn@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
I am not seeing anything? Even on posts that have downvotes.
- RheingoldRiver ( @RheingoldRiver@kbin.social ) 9•1 year ago
ah, seems kbin-only
- DoucheAsaurus ( @DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social ) 28•1 year ago
Well since this isn’t reddit you can actually look at who is downvoting. So whats up with all the downvotes @amnesiac7 ?
- xedrak ( @xedrak@kbin.social ) 15•1 year ago
Ah interesting, seems he immediately downvoted you too!
- DoucheAsaurus ( @DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social ) 17•1 year ago
I just boosted everyone in the thread. No ones rep was harmed in the making of this comment section.
- RheingoldRiver ( @RheingoldRiver@kbin.social ) 4•1 year ago
OH I didn’t realize that the first tab was “boosts” and erroneously thought YOU were the downvoter, I’m glad I saw this comment.
- Bradamir ( @Bradamir@kbin.social ) 1•1 year ago
What does boosting do?
- kersploosh ( @kersploosh@kbin.social ) 10•1 year ago
That account has been busy, too. 1 week old and has created 99 threads, mostly political rage bait.
- bdonvr ( @bdonvr@thelemmy.club ) 7•1 year ago
Lmao deleted his account
- FaceDeer ( @FaceDeer@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
Ooh, is his ghost in the room with us right now?
Good luck becoming mod of 1000 communities/magazines in the Fediverse, with them distributed across all sorts of different instances like this.

As long as Mr. Snrub has to rebuild his empire from scratch, it’s still a win.

I think he thinks being a moderator is an important job or something.
- 2d ( @2d@kbin.social ) 15•1 year ago
ok why do we care about some other site’s drama :3
- silicon_reverie ( @silicon_reverie@kbin.social ) 35•1 year ago
Because you’re literally browsing a magazine about that other site?
I agree that this particular mod getting banned isn’t directly related to the migration efforts, but the overarching drama it’s connected to is the main reason people are leaving Reddit for Lemmy. IE: admins becoming hostile towards moderators, developers, and redditors, resulting in an environment that the whole userbase is trying to flee. So even though I don’t care about this “power-tripping asshole mod” (as another Lemming described him), I get how some people here might find the post useful and relevant.
Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he’s finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related
- onepinksheep ( @onepinksheep@kbin.social ) 11•1 year ago
Of course they’re claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it’s the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.

lolol what a fucking embarassing tirade. Turtle bitch needs to log off and go wash his ass.

This person is a meme
- AndreTelevise ( @AndreTelevise@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
Just shows how there is no “correct” side in this story. Awkward being a terrible power-hungry mod on one hand, and Spez deciding to prioritize on profit over community and usability on the other.
- PabloDiscobar ( @PabloDiscobar@kbin.social ) 6•1 year ago
Not really. People have been complaining about him for very long but reddit did nothing.
They only took action after THEY were personally bothered. They use the word “community” a lot but they don’t understand what it means.
- lozunn ( @lozunn@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.

In those messages you can see all the stages of grief, minus acceptance, play out over the course of 1h20m.
