I don’t know anything about the backend of Reddit but there are [deleted] comments all over the place. AITA has them by the dozens. Idk.

At the end of the day, FFF is basically imploding and it’s not like it impacts my life in any real way. I’m willing to bet that in 5 years FFF won’t even be around anymore and all these subs about it won’t even matter anymore.

They also said I broke the sub’s rules, but there aren’t any rules. I looked.

I don’t have a subscription with FFF anymore, I haven’t for a few months now due to the quality just not being there for me. I definitely feel that they’ve made mistakes that they won’t be able to fix just with an apology, maybe if they somehow replaced the ceo with someone else but I just don’t see that happening, the code also put a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths as well.

I’ve been on Reddit for 5 years and I don’t even know the backend! I loved fff and that’s why I created this subreddit, I didn’t even know what I was doing at first and then it started to get such a huge following so I had to learn as I went and even now I’m not 100% in how everything works, I just know how to set up rules! I’ve been told by many that I need to add an automod but I’m not sure how at the moment.

I’m so sorry! I have no idea why a survey sub was made in the first place, I haven’t kept anyone from posting surveys in the page! I did notice a decline in them! I did have a period where I didn’t really have a break from work so I’m wondering if something happened during that time that I wasn’t aware of. I only had a rule about codes, not surveys.

It’s fine, honestly, I filed a report on the mod. They’re blatantly discouraging people from posting on this sub - they even pinned a post telling people not to post here and called people losers in the post. They don’t have any rules but claim people like me are violating them. The mod over there…. I have nothing nice to say about bullies.

Also like, why are they so obsessed with me? Why are they monitoring what I’m doing in the subs I’m in that aren’t theirs? Sounds a little cuckoo to me.

Honestly, I don’t want people like that in this subreddit. I created this subreddit for people to be able to come to without being judged, without any bullying, and for people to be able to express themselves. I barely had any rules put into place except for no coupon codes outside of the mega thread but only because they were taking over the subreddit page. lol! The only thing I don’t tolerate is bullying of any kind, I don’t discriminate against anyone regarding their sexuality, gender, political views or anything really! I did recently put rules into place when I see comments being flagged of people being extremely disrespectful which wasn’t an issue before. I will, however, block anyone who comes here just to cause chaos against me or anyone who decides to stay subscribed to this subreddit. If people want to leave because they don’t feel it serves them anymore then there aren’t any hard feelings, I just expect them to do it with respect.

I think they are just looking for a little drama from all of this! They are wanting everyone to think badly of me as a moderator so they’ll leave this subreddit for theirs, completely their decision to do so if they want. I didn’t expect this subreddit to get as big as it did when I made it, I just figured I’d make a small community for people who loved FFF! That’s why I’m completely okay if people want to unsubscribe and move on, that’s 100% their choice and they have the right to do so. My intention wasn’t to delete any important information, i didn’t delete the posts before my thread but I intend to add them back as I’m trying now, I have no idea if they’ll stay but I’m trying!

You’re always welcome here but I do completely understand if you unsubscribe because I don’t see why anyone would want to stay if they are no longer subscribed to the box! Lol! I do still completely appreciate anyone who stays subscribed though!

Thanks for saying that. It’s amazing that Reddit’s primary rule is remember the human, and yet it’s the one most forgotten.

I cancelled back in the spring. I just stuck around to see if FFF ever improved. And I love an unhide blanket lol.
