How are mods landed gentry? I spent my time as a Reddit mod with Nazis trying to dox me and threaten me, before Reddit banned me for making fun of Nazis.
Because we made demands? Idk I spent my time being called slurs and having people try to assure me that I was the one that was an unlovable freak. Or trying to tell me I was going to hell. Or calling for my public execution. Shit like that
Ah yes or bring called basement dwelling edgelords.
Yeah that was weird because as a mod of only queer focused communities I got that one mostly as part of the freak category.
I still laugh at the person in modmail saying they were rich and just trolling us while out with friends and their hot partner as though that wouldn’t actually be even sadder if it was true
It always amazed me how the literal Nazi accounts could tell me to off myself, that they would kill my family, and other such things, and they somehow don’t violate the TOS.
But me trying to delete my posts is an automatic prime directive rule breaker and my account gets banned.
Holy fuck that happened? That's ridiculous. I'm sorry big shoots.
I wouldn't say all were and, seeing your comments further down, loved your work. Beholdthemasterrace was hilarious. I'm sure it went down for legitimate reasons and not just because "all traffic is meaningful" and the money they generate from nazis spends just as well as everyone else's, so they don't want to upset them......
There are groups of mods who choose to promote themselves above the respectable digital janitor we all know to be necessary to more of a narrative and public opinion curator. Especially on the more news based subs. I don't think they even try to hide it these days.
Re Behold, the subreddit owner Sedorner decided to leave it dark in protest permanently. It's sad. It was so good to mock those pieces of shit out loud. Nazis don't deserve any protection, but Reddit thinks otherwise.
Could you elaborate? There is more than one mod (previously) on Reddit who is infamous for assigning nasty labels like that to all their dissenters indiscriminately. So thanks to their actions, your use of the distinction of a vocal group as Nazis is uselessly ambiguous. What sub of degens?
