To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.
They were 100% aware they were hosting a “not technically child pornography but we’re going to use it as child pornography” sub, but there’s no subreddit degenerate enough that they’ll ban it while it’s profitable.
For those who don’t know, look into the Creator of that sub. It’s a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it’s hella interesting.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Unreal that this bot started quoting the title!
Ah, I remember listening to the story of LCQP on the Chilluminati Podcast
Theories of the Third Kind has a good one on it too. Haven’t heard of that one I’ll check it out.
Can’t you do that on Lemmy now?
I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world
Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they’ll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.
That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there
Hmm… not sure. That’s interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.
Look at me, I am the mods now.
Why be fair to Spez?
He wasn’t fair to his userbase.
Treat people as
you would like to be treatedthey demonstrate they treat people.Do unto others as they do unto others
Exactly.
In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, believe them and respond accordingly.
Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn’t the point of that be to… moderate it, so that it didn’t have illegal content?
Not vouching for “legal jailbait” or anything.
I never visited that subreddit, so I have no idea of the actual content. I don’t know enough about the situation to be able to post more than I have without completely making stuff up, and in those situations its smarter to not say anything.
“A wise man speaks when he has something to say, but a fool speaks when he has to say something.”
Removed by mod
His face is so disgustingly asymmetrical. He looks inbred.
There’s enough ways to hate him without getting into shaming things he can’t change.
He can’t change that he used to mod a certain sub, and we can certainly shame him for that.
True. He deserves to be shamed for that. Either he’s a creep or he’s incompetent.
No need to bring appearance into it at all.
Are you saying he doesn’t deserve to have his feelings hurt?
More like “save ad hominem attacks for when you have nothing valid hate”
Unless they deserve to be made to feel bad about themselves.
An attack on a person’s features also attacks other people with those features. Trump is fat. I am fat. Trump is a fascist. I am not
Ad hominem attacks are intellectually lazy and have unintentional effects.
If you’re a good person, and your face is as asymmetrical as his, you still just look gross. Sorry if that upsets you.
Well it would be pretty unfortunate if you looked like Steve Huffman but were generally a good guy, and had to listen to people bag on your appearance all day.
Bullying someone for the shitty things they’ve done is one thing, bullying someone for their genetic physicality is lazy.
But I’m bullying someone about their appearance FOR the bad things they’ve done
I am.
It was jailbait wasn’t it?
My thinking: forget about technicalities of wherever he was an inactive “moderator”…
…focus on where he was an active administrator. NSFW ex. (link courtesy previous comment thread). Which includes the subreddit the OP is about, to be sure.
I don’t want links I want somebody to tell me what the sub is.
It’s r/CuteFemaleCorpses. At least that’s what the ppl are talking about and where the link leads to.
It looks like he was assigned as mod in a time when you could assign any valid username as a moderator to a sub. He was also assigned to r/jailbait among others.
Right, hence my top-level comment and the previous discussion about it - given your link aversion:
~Spez was the mod of a vile sub!~ Spez was the admin of an entire site with many vile subs.
The more-easily-defensible criticism is also the harsher criticism.
Just use your words ffs
It’s r/cutefemalecorpses and r/jailbait, how hard is that that you would mess it up multiple times?
i agree. but btw, if ur on android, u can use an app like UrlChecker to preview the link before opening, or maybe your lemmy client has a ‘view source’ option.
Oh, that’s great, im on my ISP watch list now, thanks
Oh Spez.
I remember when “the other site” launched an instant messaging feature. It was buggy as hell and interfered with my browsing experience on the site. Totally didn’t expect anything to come of it, but mostly jokingly messaged Spez through the new feature knowing it would go to an endless abyss never to be seen again. Surprisingly he responded. Cordial but ultimately also not at all helpful. But some time later (maybe a month?), the bug I messaged him about was fixed. So, maybe it wasn’t all fruitless.
I wonder if he ever got a ride in Epstein’s aeroplane…
Is there a body to this post? I can’t see one on my Lemmy client, but everyone seems to be responding to something.
Same, I see nothing but the title in the body.
If anyone wants another reason to hate spez, just look into his relationship with Drewiepoodle, aka /u/awkwardtheturtle, a misandristic degenerate who dedicated their free time to the noble cause of bullying men online because they were butthurt their wife transitioned. Reddit only suspended their account to stop people from asking questions, but they have self reported that they constantly use alts to ban evade.
One thing I will not miss is the self important super moderators who patrol the site flexing on anyone as they act as self appointed guardians of morality , always ready with a script to mass ban someone who displeases them from hundreds of subreddits for the most petty of reasons , such as disagreeing with them and worse , being provably right.
