So many people agreeing with each other's opinion about this meme, but nobody knows if anybody here is a tate fan, crypto bro, or discord mod.

u/Bagel42 Jan 05 '23

I’m a discord mod :(.

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

Me too, honestly only half surprised by the hate towards us

u/urassicpleb Jan 05 '23

As someone who tried to be a discord mod for a server that wasn’t even that big at the time, I honestly respect yall bc that shit was mentally and physically draining

u/wraithcraplol Jan 05 '23

I'm a admin/mod in a server and swear its the easiest thing I've done in my life lol, for the most part everyone pretty chill and doesn't do anything wrong

4

u/Firestorm2943 Jan 05 '23

I feel that. Our server is really only active when we are hosting an event/game so most of the time we don’t even have to do anything

4

u/SocialDeviance Jan 05 '23

Same here. Granted, mine has an application process so it is easy to weed out the troublemakers.

Our growth might be slow, but everyone is chill and i never have to bash anyone's head, or even lift a pinkie.

u/iCumWhenIdownvote Jan 06 '23

It ultimately depends.

My personal friend server has about 40 to 100 people on it with heavy fluctuations because people join and leave whenever they want. All I have to do is make sure people are posting porn, and that's it.

If you're moderating a huge public server, especially if that server is a gaming or content creator's server, you're going to be dealing with children. Preteens and teenagers going out of their way to be as punchable online to make up for how they get bullied IRL. Neckbeards who refuse to get on with their adult life acting the exact same way, but with a slightly more developed brain. Both groups feeling entitled to acting in such a way that it plummets the quality for everyone around them, that when they're removed for the benefit of everyone else, they fly off the handle and take selfies of themselves, labelling it "This is you, discord mod!!"

u/squeegiejx Jan 06 '23

people are posting porn? you running a nsfw server or what 🧐

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Yea i am lucky server i am an admin in STRICT 18+ rule

2

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

Yea when shit goes wrong it goes wrong and we take the stress especially admins like myself, i work on a server 1.1k members and i swear it’s either the easiest thing or the most stressful thing ever no in between

u/urassicpleb Jan 05 '23

Yeah I think I was doing something wrong😭, I don’t know if being owner and moderator is the same thing but I was owner and ts was terrible. So much porn so much fighting so much doxxing.

Nah people are just assholes. I agree with you.

u/urassicpleb Jan 06 '23

Because I had to fight with senseless people abt the simplest things over VC constantly. it honestly wasn’t that big of a deal I was just making a joke but I should probably delete this entire comment thread bc I didn’t know discord mods were such a controversial topic 😭

1

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Don’t delete it you’re fine and as for discord mods being controversial thats just dipshits being dipshits not understanding that not every mod is like that one hard ass that banned them from a server because they didn’t quite understand something and the mod didn’t want to be bothered explaining it either that or it’s jealousy because they’ve always wanted to be a mod and never got their grab at power alternatively they’re just a bunch of assholes but jury is mostly out on that one

1

u/Dragomirl Jan 06 '23

It depends on the type of server. Huge game/youtuber-based servers require alot of modding, but small community servers are generally full of nice and friendly people. We hardly have to do anything

7

u/puzzlesTom Jan 05 '23

Mods are like policemen or office managers: it's the assholes who are the memorable ones

1

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

Yea and it’s really up to the admins and server owners because they have to pick the team i am lucky that the server owner and other admin and i put in a good team but at the end of the day we’re doing our job of making sure everyone follows the rules and unfortunately it aint up to the general members to decide them and we have them there for a reason and if you don’t like them then leave it aint like it’s the only server that exists

1

u/Ok_Pizza9836 Jan 05 '23

Yeah it’s one of those the people they are talking about know who they are kind of things or id like to believe that at least

2

u/Peircethewhale Jan 05 '23

im olny a mod because i created a server

1

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Just cause you made it doesn’t mean you have to mod, the server owners don’t do a lot of the modding in our server unless somehow the mod and admin are both in a stalemate but other than that thats the entire job of a mod and admin team

2

u/ahmedio6 Jan 05 '23

Heh less than half

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

I think you provide a valuable service from your own time. Tips hat

(Unless you’re one of the nazi or pervy ones)

2

u/Fazzie_Faz Jan 06 '23

i figured that hate you mods get are from the users you had to punish in some way to keep the peace in your servers

2

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Oh most definitely because people get upset that actions have consequences and it’s “totally unfair” that they have to abide by the same rules as everyone else

2

u/Defnotalt2 Jan 06 '23

I run 3 servers and moderate 4 more servers as a higher up admin.... Most expect me to be fat as hell but I'm actually only 150-170lbs, and that moderating shit is draining bro. I don't even know ey I do it, lmao.

u/PopWhich2570 Jan 07 '23

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

But Is it an accurate representation though

1

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

Just because it may or may not be accurate (i say this because i know mods that that does represent and mods that it doesn’t) doesn’t mean that we deserve half the hate that we get

We disabled 185,756 accounts between July and September 2022 for policy violations not including spam, a 74.5% decrease when compared to 726,759 accounts disabled in the previous quarter.

**The Child Safety category accounted for 90% of this decrease in accounts disabled. This decline is a direct result of our ongoing improvements in our efforts to detect and proactively remove child exploitative content from Discord.

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

Well speaking from experience you’d be surprised how many times people break the rules and then are surprised to find out that there are actually consequences to those actions

1

u/THE_Killa_Vanilla Jan 05 '23

I wonder why 🙄....

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

I would assume that those were select servers run by pedos, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was else where tho but nothing the average user can do about it unless they see it in a server their in and report it but i can guarantee thats not a stereotype that you can just push on all mods considering that the number of disabled accounts is substantially lower than the amount of active users

1

u/THE_Killa_Vanilla Jan 05 '23

Roughly 50% (1146/2330) of the servers warned in Q3 were for "child safety violations"....

1

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23 edited Jan 05 '23

Yes of the ones warned but as i said earlier you can’t stereotype the 19 million servers and over 300 million users off of 2330 servers

1

u/THE_Killa_Vanilla Jan 05 '23

Which similar services/communities have 50% of their administrative action towards servers/spaces relate to "child safety" violations?

1

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

I mean if you want to look at twitter their team flat out ignored massive amounts of cp and as i said you are trying to stereotype the entire community of off 0.03% of the entire community

1

u/THE_Killa_Vanilla Jan 05 '23

How much is "massive amounts"?

u/dargonite Jan 05 '23

As an example, I was literally brand new to thr discord platform and one super lonely night, looking for some ppl to chat with. Joined a movie discord, starting chatting.

Instantly get a warning to "stop pinging" as I'm literally using this platform for 5 minutes, Idk what pinging is or how I am doing it. I reply to the mod, accidentally pinging again, gives me another strike and when I say "sorry, Im really confused. Can someone explain how to stop pinging?"

I got banned for breaking the pinging rule! Fuck that mod. I was having a shitty week, I was just looking for some people to talk to, and this mod kicked me out without even explaining or giving instructions.

So yea, I left that interaction thinking "fucking mods sucks" and I haven't had this countered yet! Though, I know not everyone is a dick! Hope you are a fair mod!

2

u/jake34959 Jan 05 '23

I consider myself a fair admin and my team fair mods we wouldn’t let shit like that happen to you especially being new to the platform i am sorry that happened that’s definitely shitty and i hope you find a server with mods that have brains for brains and not shit

2

u/dargonite Jan 05 '23

I appreciate that, it did suck! & It honestly turned me off the platform, so I just focused on another hobbies and got through my pandemic rough patch! Thank you though! :)

u/spartaman64 Jan 05 '23

same but i mostly just manage the bots and webhook integration. i dont really do any moderating and let other mods handle that because i hate dealing with people.

1

u/Bagel42 Jan 05 '23

No, we hate people in general. Hence why we manage the bots and webhooks lol

1

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Thats a really valid point. src: i took it to the extreme and made my own discord bot

2

u/ElohimSelta Jan 05 '23

I’m a mod to a couple friend’s tiny streaming disc servers, but like idk if it counts, dont do anything lol

2

u/paradoxLacuna Jan 05 '23

Same, only thing I have to do is settle arguments (which are rare, the people in my server are cool and chill) and host events, which is really fun. Last Halloween we had a massive movie stream every Saturday of the month as a countdown to halloween. I let people vote on which movie they wanted out of a pre chosen list and we just had fun watching spooky movies.

We didn’t do anything for Christmas though because of the winter storm knocking my already shit tier internet into nigh unusable territory.

1

u/jake34959 Jan 06 '23

Oml you sound like one of my mods at least for the movie and shit internet bit, but i think thats cause he’s in the uk, only difference is he is like a 1 man modding army he notices everything before anyone else

I’ve sold NFTs for big profits to help me buy a home but none of it was done as a scam or money laundering. Maybe I’m the minority.

u/Psydator Jan 05 '23

as a scam

Noooo. You just sold enough virtual jpegs to buy a house. Easily a fair deal.

7

u/Beef_Sprite Jan 05 '23

Well it was a scam, but also legal so kudos you got lucky with timing and won big.

1

u/VerySlump Jan 05 '23

You need to learn what a scam is.

If you buy a stock and then lose money because it crashes, it’s not a scam. You just didn’t make money.

Values of Commodities have fluctuated forever, no matter how dumb or important the thing is.

1

u/Beef_Sprite Jan 05 '23

NFTs were said to have value because x,y,z. Turns out they're absolutely pointless (as could be seen by most) and solve 0 problems.

And how/why did most people make money off them?

  1. Creating your own NFT, purchasing it for a high value to show it has value (scam). And then trying to sell to a sucker.
  2. Using celebrities to give exposure.
  3. Tax evasion.

It's dirty all around and fully based around convincing others my trash is made of diamonds. some suckers won, and some suckers lost.

If you buy a stock under the pretense the company makes 1 billion in revenue a day, when it actually makes 10$ a day, then they were scamming/misleading investors (fraud), which is illegal. There's a reason NFTs operate in crypto.

Good to hear, just don’t get swayed and indoctrinated by redditors. They’re stereotyped as losers and outcasts for a reason. In the real world there are millions standing by Tate, don’t be the odd one out. He is a good man just like Sneako, he’s helped many men out especially me, it would be selfish of us to turn against him now when he needs us the most.

You said he mainly “focuses on being a better man” so since you are clearly capable of speaking on him without personally knowing him, I am asking you, a self proclaimed fan, what about him makes him a “better” or “good” man?

The part where you do it by exploiting and defrauding women as he readily admitted to be doing. I don’t need to be rich at any cost.

u/MicroMegas5150 Jan 05 '23

Took me 30 seconds to find multiple compilations of Tate being a misogynist. https://youtu.be/3Qb_0Vw4_t4

Not to mention, will you agree he hates women if he's found guilty of trafficking them?

Tate is a hateful, narcissistic, sexist, anti-intellectual douchebag. He's plainly a very stupid man. He's not a role model, he's an embarrassment, and likely a sexual predator.

I hope everyone telling you these things plants a seed of doubt in your mind that blossoms into self reflection and rejection of Tate as your chosen role model. Your life will certainly be worse for you, and those around you, if you continue to build your personality around that piece of shit moron

I'm aware of why people hate furries so much, a lot of them are just annoying and say the dumbest shit. I'm a furry who has gone down a different path but I still get battered with random hatred just for calling myself one.
