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.
Removed by mod
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
trying to encourage a code of morality, as seen in my post for mildly infuriating a few days ago mentioning some of the actions these moderators had done against the community and why they are bad for the health of it.
I hope being one of the large communities it offers a template for those to follow, I might not always get it right but I hope to do my best to eliminate it here. Bad mods ruined reddit.
Bad mods weren’t the only thing contributing to the downfall of Reddit. Infact, Id argue most moderators of Reddit were genuinely good and helped foster each subreddit community in a reasonable manner. As with all things that involve humans, there will always be bad actors, but I think overall I had maybe 2 instances I can remember in all my 14 years of Reddit where a bad moderator removed content because they didnt agree with it.
It will but they’ll be server admins instead.
Hopefully no instance ever becomes too popular by itself where this will heavily affect everyone though.
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.
Oh, is that’s who it is? If so, fuck them.
Weren’t they a massive dick about as well, it wasn’t just an accusation without evidence.
Seems like everyone here deserves eachother.
This case is actually even funnier because that mod turned out to be right! The art was AI generated! Aspects of other people’s watermarks and other AI giveaways were left in the final art so either the whole picture was ai generated and the sketches were done after or it’s all AI generated.
Are you sure about that? I know that was the case with some recent AI-accused artists, but I haven’t seen this specific case mentioned.
The reason I ask is that:
A. There’s nothing I can find online. If you have a link, I’d love to be proven wrong.
B. After looking again art the image in question from January of this year, I don’t see any watermarks or AI tells (hands look perfect and natural, and I couldn’t spot any watermark residuals).
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.
That fucking CenturyClub bullshit; I lasted about 2 days after getting invited to the subreddit a few years ago. What a morass of powermod drama queens and groupthink twats. For some god-unknown reason, I got an re-invite during the protest blackouts from one of their mods, no clue why. Because they were going to talk me out of shutting down a +1M sub?
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 can’t wait for the future where ai can very reliably transcribe anything for the blind folks out there so they can freely browse stuff like we all do.
I don’t particularly feel bad for you.
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.
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.
Agree.
Also Mmmm, its not too early for ice cream is it?
Is it ever?
I decided to agree, and ate the ice cream despite the time of day.
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.
Yeah I don’t get why they felt the need to bring up spez being short (is that what they were getting at?) Seems childish. Who cares if he’s not tall? What’s that have to do with this…
Turdle is a hypocritical piece of shit
Yeah, this is a “nothing of value was lost,” moment by reddit, lol.
Admins do to them what they did to users and now they’re pissed.
I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these “super” mods
The two bad guys fighting each other,
just like in RussiaThey’re still fighting, just not in public view .
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.
Asshole CEO and Power-tripping mods in a stand-off. I love it.
It’s not even a standoff, an asshole working at Reddit (probably not even the CEO) fired an unpaid volunteer and they’re ugly crying while drinking boxed wine and freaking out about how they’re gonna regret letting them go online.
It’s entirely one sided and nobody really gives a single shit about this dummy. I hope they get the help they desperately need.
Yo there’s nothing wrong with boxed wine.
This boxed wine slander cannot be allowed here!
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.
If the admin find out they can then take action
You could do it per email address, at least on platforms where your account is tied to one. Doesn’t stop it, but if you’re only allowed to mod 5 communities, you’d need a lot of sock puppet emails to mod 1000+.
If you own a domain, it’s trivial to set up a catch-all redirect to your real email address. I, for example, have this account linked to lemmy_world_grue@example.com. With the maximum length of an email address being 254 characters and the “lemmy_world_” and “@example.com” parts taking up 24 characters, I could create up to 350! - 1 (yes, that’s a factorial) more usernames, each linked to a corresponding unique address. (Well, give or take any limits Lemmy imposes on username length, anyway.)
Ban example.com gg ez
They can’t do that because they can’t necessarily tell the difference between the personal domain of one person and one providing email addresses to multiple people.
Its easier than you think. Email is pretty consolidated around a few big players these days which means about 10 minutes of work querying the database for how many accounts will be impacted and a quick Google to find out what the domain is used for is all you need to decide whether to ban it or not.
We used to do this on IRC quite often before we could even just Google it.
Yes , 5 max maybe 10 thats it.
Given what Lemmy and kbin fundamentally are, open source federations, this can’t be done, at least not universally. Instances will set their own rules and other instances cannot directly set those rules. It is impossible to enforce this.
That said, it makes sense for instances to set similar rules, and tools to help are a good idea.
Its not really possible. Just open a new community on another instance
