the mods have gone psycho over at reddit

someone on a subreddit said they had brain bleeding. i asked how it happened. a mod immediately removed it and said that it was an intrusive comment or some nonsense..i messaged them asking them to explain how, and i explained how i thought it would actually be beneficial for the readers if they decided to answer and that they didnt. they responded with some authoritarian nonsense which they actually later deleted. today i get this from them:

Yesterday, I told you:

please tell me that you are willing to back down, to follow our rules, and to take moderator direction in the future without endless and exhausting debate -- or indeed without any debate at all. Otherwise, you will no longer be welcome at r/(removed)

Since you have not confirmed and are instead ignoring me, may I take this to mean that you no longer want to be part of r/(removed)?

i was tempted to reply "yes mistress"

this is sadly almost a step in the right direction cuz now they will ban you solely if they dont like your posts or other communities youre a part of.

they want you to go belly up and comply like they get off on it 😂.

i hope reddit crashes and burns hard lmao

lots of [removed] and [deleted] and way too many sub rules

it's hard to know if just going to lemmy or trying to improve reddit are better strategies (or some other reddit alternative)

Moderation as a skill involves many subskills in my opinion: critical thinking, empathy, taking on another perspective, restraint, etc.

The issue is that reddit showed lack of all these in the months following the API fallout. This led to many „real“ moderators leaving.

The people remaining have a moral code that allows them to ignore the things that happened because otherwise they would leave too (empathy), or they think they can fix it (critical thinking).

Thats why you end up with messages like this.

Thank you

Why aren't you saying what sub it is or who the mini hitler was?

The only way is to have standards, oversight, multistage review process, and paid moderators - or bots.

Too many agendas in play, no defined process, lack of accountability.

Mods on power trips will ruin everything they attempt to control.

You should have replied with “yes mistress”

You and the mods need to get your shit together and start creating shareholder value as you’re intended to do.

I'm just waiting for the wrong person to get banned from some useless subreddit and then go ballistic and file a class action lawsuit. Double points if they are a shareholder too.

sfgirlmary OP ,

at this point i wouldn't be surprised if the mods were ai bots as well. it would actually explain a lot. nice government experiment to see if they can get a community of bots to control society

Intrusive, banned.

Ironically they only get this way because they go so balls deep on power modding multiple communities that they burn themselves out on the workload of processing literally any and every possible talkback on a flag.
