All mods of /r/self and /r/shittylifeprotips were removed and suspended for 7 days without any warning first.

We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say "we" but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it.

Mods should not make malicious changes to their communities, such as allowing rule-violating behavior or encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces."

This is my first post, also fuck Spez

distractionfactory,

Looks like it's becoming a pattern: https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14eyx90/comprehensive_list_of_all_subs_with_mod_teams/

At this time:
/r/interestingasfuck

/r/self

/r/TIHI

r/ShittyLifeProTips

r/self

r/IllegalLifeProTips

/r/mildlyinteresting (restored team) (limited)

Subs with replaced mods

/r/beyondthebump

/r/Piracy

The piracy one cracks me up the most. They literally copied and pasted a blanket statement without even acknowledging it was r/privacy.

They could have just ignored it and it wouldn't have caused as much backlash.

The best part is that many of these are huge, moneymaker subs from the front page. Surely the average facebook-y lurker that Spez was pandering to will have noticed the drama by now as well.

They will have noticed it, but will they care?

If they can't get their fix of Marjorie Tailor Greene getting SLAMMED on twitter or rage bait clips of some woman making a really bad food for clicks with sped up music posted from TikTok, they might.

quintinza,

Argh those ticktok robot voices...

pressanykeynow,

Spez probably wanted to moderate /r/shittylifeprotips himself as he seem to have a lot of.

Shittylifeprotip: if you run an unprofitable forum website, assert your dominance over your users by fucking with them. They'll respect that you're an alpha Chad and give you more money and views.

Why do these LeAdERs always end up acting the same once exposed...

The more they dig the more we rebel. I want to keep fighting.

Don't make it too easy.

Turn the nsfw on.... then turn it off. Then turn it on again... then turn it off.

They very likely have a detection, just mess with them a little bit.

abff08f4813c,

Unfortunately they have a log. So they'll know exactly what's being done, when, and by who.

Not saying it's a bad idea, coz it isn't. Just saying be aware when you do this so you can prepare for what's coming.

spark947,

They are deleting mods from shitty subs? That's just petty.

The whole point of those subs is to shitpost. Like, what is reddit thinking?

snipeftw,

Why would you feel bad about turtle? He is a racist pos.

    To be fair, the number of addicts still on that site and arguing in spez's favor says he's right.

    I still don't know if those are real users or their employees/bots, it seems too coordinated so I assume it's bots.

    They clearly believe that the kitchen table is what makes the food taste good. It's so short-sighted, and it's gonna bite them in the ass.

    quintinza,

    I like this saying. I have apropriated it now.

    resonancewright,

    The funny thing is the bastards are still trying to pretend this is all just about people losing free access to the API, when it is now quite firmly about them and their plantation mentality toward users and their unskillful power tripping. It's all how weak people think strong people act, and it's equal parts infuriating and pathetic.

    lamentforicarus,

    I wish there was a way for all users to grab their data back and agree to sell it back to reddit if they want to profit from it. They truly do not understand that people are mad because they are trying to profit off of free labor.

    NUL,

    This isn't the first time reddit has removed moderators -- I'm sure everyone remembers the_donald. While the td mods did get plenty of direct warnings from the admins, ultimately the admins don't need to provide any form of warning. Reddit does own the platform (and your content), after all.

    Which is why we're here!

    awkwardtheturtle

    Something we really should not take to kbin and lemmy is mods like this, spez can keep such mods.

    chaosppe,
    @chaosppe@lemmy.world avatar

    Getting awkwardtheturtle banned is a service to the community. The best news from reddit I've heard all year.
