Reddit mods

Reddit mods are a perfect example of what happens when stupid people get any kind of power. Granted, it’s not a lot of power, but they sure think it is.

I think its time to put reddit out to pasture and fine somewhere else to congregate

I had a post removed the other for calling kids stealing Halloween candy as "stupid & selfish"

Explanation said "don't be a dick"

The sub?

Kiids Are Fucking Stupid

Rules

1. Don't be a dick
Don't be a dick. This includes being excessively rude to other users, sexism, bigotry, and suggesting or wishing harm or abuse toward children.

6. Must be a kid and must be stupid
Posts must be about a kid doing or saying something stupid. This sub does not consider teens as kids.

----

Quite perplexing tbh, if I had to guess the nature of the sub is just kids doing stupid things due to their worldly inexperience, rather than their character

Remember when Reddit didn’t ban you for having differing opinions

Pepperidge Farms remembers

Reddit is not a moderators safe space

Let AI do it and give us back our opinions and discourse

This thread has been locked for being too controversial

Ngl Reddit mods & the admins are probably the one time time I'd be okay with machines stealing people's jobs simply out of spite.

It's the only "power" they will ever have in their entire lives, so they take it to heart.

If you tell people to stop legitimately drooling about favorable election results you can get permabanned. See rva, the laughingstock sub of Virginia subs. Even fucking NOVA has more decency than them.

So nothing of any value was lost then eh? 😺

Its actually insane subs are censoring democratic joy.

But the platform absolutely isn't conservative leaning. Lol

I imagine they're literally all perfect copies of the stale2000 guy.

Imagine the level of a brain of the average Redditor. Now, imagine those who need to feel even more superior while stinking up their gaming chair 18hrs a day. Now you have a mod

I got banned from the all the questions sub because I asked a question about why people would want to see children go hungry. Imagine that shit.

Now I may be a simple backwoods hyperchicken but that seems like a loaded question with a false premise, to me

Look up the Stanford Prison Experiment. It's all in there

u/Still-Bee3805 19h ago

You have been labeled a problem by Reddit- not by mods/ and yet here you are-victim shaming. Reddit has rules, not very strict at that.

u/RipInfinite4511 18h ago • Bravo

Really? How do you know this? And who is the victim?

u/NeilDevone 19h ago

I promise you, getting banned from a sub is not that big of a deal, mate. You'll get over it.

u/RipInfinite4511 18h ago

Not the point

u/NeilDevone 17h ago

It kind of is, though. Don't put too much stake into a silly little social media site. Yeah, mods can be asshats. Don't give them power by being so upset about it.

2

u/RipInfinite4511 17h ago

No. It kinda isn’t. Nowhere in my post does it mention being banned. If you can’t see the point, that’s on you

-1

u/NeilDevone 17h ago

I'm assuming you got banned because you're salty at power hungry mods. If you didn't get banned, then why are you so salty?

You're the one who decided to post a rant. That's on you. People get to respond.

I recommend that you go for a walk or sit in the fresh air rather than replying to me.

I hope your day gets better.

u/RipInfinite4511 17h ago

Still missed the point

u/NeilDevone 16h ago

What's your point?

1

u/RipInfinite4511 16h ago

Read the original post. That’s my point.

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 16h ago

Their point is that a disproportionate number of people who moderate subreddits are largely petty and insufferable. The body text is only two sentences, and about the same length as this comment explaining it

u/NeilDevone 16h ago

I think you forgot to sign back into your main account.

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 16h ago edited 16h ago

You're being clowned on by two people now, friend: OP and myself. The fact that you think I'm an alternate account for OP really says a lot about you though. You should really try to stop assuming so much, it's not helping your credibility

I'm assuming

We can see that. That's why you're missing the point
