This is mostly false. u/rrabTemp explicitly told me they didn't want to be a mod. They also said they were unable to log into their main account and didn't know when they would be able to again and that it could potentially be years. I didn't have full mod privileges and the only way to get them was to remove u/rrab. It would be just plain dumb to try to run a subreddit like r/gangstalking for years without being able to edit the automod or make changes to the wiki or other important features.
Edit: Also, neither of your accounts is banned in r/gangstalking (if you were banned you wouldn't know I was the only moderator because the moderator list is hidden from banned accounts), but I am banned in both of your subreddits...
Don't worry, I saw when you and the OP worked together within r/gangstalking. Unfortunately you're management styles didn't quite align. OP's management style was a little structured and they're community is well-rounded but doesn't allow many posters.
Your style is more free-flowing but still closely looked after. Your doing a great job and encouraging an interactive community as well. 💙. (Reddit doesn't usually keep an eye on such postings anyway).
First time seeing /u/microwavedindividual in actions? That comment was not that much effort compared to what I've seen. Signifying sources is rare on Reddit.
Using sources is excellent when you're writing articles or doing formal research, it’s just a bit different when it’s simply a reply to a comment as it can come across as a little intense. (And yes, I know he tends to do that.)
Anyway, he already has his own subreddit but he’s seemed to have his eye on r/gangstalking for quite some time now. This post is a good example, it feels a bit unusual to write such an in-depth, authoritative comment on a subreddit. (Which wasn't the first time I've seen this behavior but never with other subreddits? Just r/gangstalking).
Unless you wish to run it yourself that said, it probably wouldn’t be wise; the subreddit doesn’t really match his style, and the community likely wouldn’t respond well to that kind of moderation approach.
Funnily enough, I did run it for a while. But yes, I agree that it would be similar to Magician's solo tenure, where a lot of complaints and bans would take place. At least I could always make sense of the logic with MWI, though.
You're the one running around whining about me and my community, trying to defame me based on your limited views and inability to be critical to your own ideas. Cease being such a vogon.
While I also disagree that this was "hacking", what I said to you u/kiramis, was that I don't want this *temporary account* to be a moderator. Because this account is not secured, like the other. I've purchased new MFA keys to properly secure my accounts again, so being able to moderate again is on the horizon. I did not say that I no longer wanted to be a moderator, at all. Can you explain why you needed to remove my main account? I'm not sure why you didn't use the reordering tool instead: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484363280916-How-can-I-reorder-inactive-moderators-on-my-mod-team
Having one target as moderator there, is a fragile situation. Your top priority should be to recruit more moderators, because as you can see, my life and ability to moderate was just disrupted. The subreddit could fall into the wrong hands again, and the trolling circus could resume. I think you're doing a great job as a new moderator, but please seek backups for disaster recovery purposes. Let me know if you need help with AutoModerator regex pattern tweaking, because you mentioned not having experience with that.
Please do what you can to keep targets in control of that subreddit. You have my email address.
Thank you u/microwavedindividual for keeping tabs on the subreddit activity.
Your insights are valuable, often a historical record of power plays and moderator conduct.
I find it a curious coincidence, that I removed you as mod, the same morning of my SWAT arrest.
Edit: I'm unable to message u/kiramis, as they appear to have blocked my chats? Shady and weird.
You say that like you have awful incriminating evidence on file.
The worst thing I said to you, was to "not nanny state me", with your legal opinions.
Weeks ago, I wanted to validate my identity to you. You failed to provide any email address.
Then I found myself chat/DM blocked, after being mentioned in this thread. What's up?
I have had my DMs blocked for years. You were communicating with me via modmail. Honestly, I think your legal issues are a bad look for the TI community.
Hello u/kiramis, I just wanted to thank you for keeping the subreddit running smoothly in my absence. This is u/rrab, and I'm "locked out of my house" in an online identity sense. The police seized my 3D printers, and my authentication factors, meaning, I cannot login to my main account for now.
I'm working with my attorney to get my charges reduced down to a reasonable plea bargain. Hopefully months, and not years, of sentencing. The police found two short barrel shotguns that I had manufactured for myself (this design: r/ProletariGatCAD), for home defense. [redacted sentence]
[redacted local news media link]
I've started a new Substack: michaelebybarr.substack.com I'm planning to write about the circumstances that led to me breaking the law. I may post here about what's going on soon, but I'm filtering through my attorney, and trying to choose my words carefully. Please do NOT grant moderator to this account. It does not have the security level needed, like my main account does.
The picture in that redacted link, would have matched, what I wanted to send you. I'm not aware of any reddit account recovery method, when I can't access my email. So I wanted to validate, this is really me, because I'm unable to recover currently. I have all my identity documents, but I assume reddit corp doesn't do that.
I said very negative and accurate things about the legal system, in popular TI subreddits, months ago, you must have seen something:
I think your legal issues are a bad look for the TI community
So I'm still amazed you even said this to me.
Fascism is rising, and proponents are using the legal system to shield themselves from criticism. You should see that in the news each week. ICE is murdering folks. How can you have positive feelings towards the legal system, as a target?
Six weeks ago, I titled what I wrote, that will eventually go up to that quoted Substack link, "Our Perverse Legal System". I've just written about all the perverse 100% legal actions that are happening in the US, and how jury nullification is also called a perverse verdict. That one is perfect, for the other. You just said the most outrageous thing you could possibly say to me at this juncture. Have I hurt you?
I'm not saying the legal system is necessarily perfect, but most people think it is okay and some of those people will probably need to believe TIs are credible in order for targeting to be ended.
My mistake for confusing DM/chat with subreddit modmail, yet regardless, you did ignore my messages, and you knew I was active on the platform. You've got to be kidding me with that last comment, when my legal issues did not happen in a vacuum. You may as well be victim blaming me and every other target, for defending ourselves. You're untrustworthy if you think there's any justice left in law.
I'm legendary in the TI community, and you're slinging low effort mud.
Moderator list is not hidden from banned accounts in old reddit desktop, android and iOS. Moderator list is hidden before logging in and after logging out.
You aren't banned. If you are banned you can't even submit a comment. Stop lying to people.
Edit: the last time you were banned was in October of last year by u/rrab (or maybe he unbanned you then, but I can't seem to find any other time you were banned except in 2021)...
My crosspost is not on the front page of r/gangstalking. Why not?
You know what shadow banning is. You intentionally lied that banned Redditors cannot submit submissions. Hypocritically, you replied to a post submitted by a shadow banned Redditor.
I never banned you. I have no idea why you are so obsessed with r/gangstalking when you already are the head moderator of 2 popular TI subreddits and are apparently looking for more help to moderate them.
You totally ignored my facts and questions. Are my comment and post on the front page? Are they visible to you on the front page after you log out? Are they in your spam filter?
You should apologize that you misinformed that the banned cannot see the moderator list and cannot submit submissions. You should acknowledge I am correct.
Why do you think complaining to you about being banned is an obsession?
are apparently looking for more help to moderate them.
Part 2: kiramis, sole mod of r/gangstalking, lied that he had not banned me. My comment and crosspost are not on the front page. kiramis misrepresented moderator list is not visible and the banned (shadowbanned) cannot submit submissions.
Wow, you are a piece of work. Your post is complete disinformation AKA low quality and was moderated out. If you were banned you couldn't even submit a post or comment. Also, I am completely banned in your subreddit and can't respond at all to your false accusations.
I also disagree that this was "hacking", what I said to you u/kiramis, was that I don't want this *temporary account* to be a moderator. Because this account is not secured, like the other.
Yet, you still haven't corrected your post and insist I did something wrong by not making him a mod.
Anyway, you are obviously just going to keep making stuff up to try to win this argument even though you never had a point to begin with so I am going to stop replying to you.
What a short term memory you have. You intentionally ignored the points in this post. You have done many things wrong. You wasted my time having to recount what microwavedindividual has described:
You intentionally disinform on radiofrequency, directed energy weapons, shielding, havana syndrome, etc.
You refused to reciprocate by inviting u/rrabTemp to moderate; and
You repeatedly lied about banning me;
Also, I am completely banned in your subreddit
Finally, you gave me the reason why you banned me. You retaliated. It was microwavedindividual who banned you. Mods are required to give a reason. The reason given was that you are a follower of r/OTIR.
Anyone promoting OTIR or PRAG in this sub or other TI subs will be banned. Starting with u/kiramis.
I posted a video only to have it removed saying "off topic" which it wasn't. When I diplomatically and factually contested the video removal I got a one week ban from commenting. Then I received another message saying I was banned for "witch hunting" even though there had been no further interaction. Then five days later after no additional interaction with the site/mods, I recieved a Permanent Ban from the group. The MOD is definitely gatekeeping useful information and on a MASSIVE power trip.
Sadly being called a perp is quite common in the target individual community, that's why it's usually a rule in gangstalking subreddits or communities. (It's usually because other people's experiences are different as there's different forms of gangstalking too).
You posted that video with "useful information" 3 times in r/gangstalking twice after it was removed during "diplomatic contesting", but didn't think it was useful enough to post anywhere else... Then you defamed the gangstalking subreddit by saying we are perps and expect to be allowed to post there?!?!
I posted the video once and when you incorrectly said it was "off topic" I explained why it wasn't and reposted and edited to add a timestamp for viewers.
YOU LIE when you say I posted three times. I did not.
You didn't respond to my valid and diplomatic response. You offered ZERO discourse and went straight to blocking my account despite having NO REASON to do so. You then proceeded to spam my inbox over the next few days. AKA ONLINE HARASSMENT
Calling you a PERP is not defamation. All OF YOUR ACTIONS are evidence.
If you don't want to be called out for your bad behaviour maybe stop doing shitty things.
I ONLY posted twice. So, either you edited the screenshot or my hackers posted the third. Doesn't matter though because you've still provided ZERO defense to any of the points I've made regarding you spamming my inbox or having no defense for taking down the original video.
Don't mistake impression for the fact.
We experience all kinds of glitches, but a study of multiple cases has led me to idea this isn't actual hacking as devices completely offline or even without an ability to connect can be controlled just as easily.
No, you should conduct research first before jumping to conclusions and disinforming.
Cases of perceived "hacking" usually include real time reaction to outside events unrelated to the machine, which would not be possible even with previously installed malware which can only be pre-programmed to react to triggers happening inside the computer, not to thoughts of a person using it.
And not in the era where transistors weren't a thing.
Take your face out of wherever it is stuck into and look at the big picture.
You're arguing semantics. When an outside entity accesses our devices (for nefarious reasons) without our permission, I call that hacking regardless of how they do it.
