Over on Reddit, /r/AssholeDesign was taken over by a moderator that had been radio silent for over two years. The linked Imgur album contains modmail screenshots and our entire conversation after calling them out for this betrayal.
You must log in or # to comment.
To be fair based on the quality of this community it’s not much of an improvement on that front.
There’s more posts that have nothing to do with design and are just people venting than there are actual posts of asshole design here.
There’s still very few posts here so we haven’t been strict with the definition yet.
Honestly i get that you are angry/disappointed on a personal level. But its pretty normal reaction from reddits side. You were not cooperative to their request to open up the sub so they searched for someone who would do it.
I dont want to defend them, i allready cleared my account over there but from a business perspective its a normal reaction. If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.
And the new mod might be a prick for backstabbing your protest but thats just a opinion. If there are enough users who want to keep using the sub, regardless of reddits shitty behaviour, its ok to reopen it and none of the old mods has a right to hold it “hostage” for their protest.
If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.
If they work without payment, they’re not your employees. And reddit isn’t a registered charity either.
It is their site so they can technically do what they want, but it makes them assholes and is not “ok” as you put it.
It’s a privately owned site, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Power tripping mods have been a problem this whole time anyway. I’m glad reddit is dying and i’m glad the mods are too.
You should have redirected your community somewhere else to begin with. It’s not your site. They make their own rules up. You played chicken with the Hoover dam.
“coup”? wow, you’re all really pathetic about a social media site, get over yourselves
lol who gives a shit man. reddit is dead. You’ve lost your power. get over it. go get a real job
I didn’t think a lot of arseholes came over from Reddit however you’ve proven me wrong.
this is my design page buddy
You’re the same group of mods who all teamed up and went dark to silence subreddits you disagreed with.
You also regularly remove posts that have thousands of upvotes because of vague rules like
-
“No low effort content”
-
“no recent reposts over 6 months”
-
“all posts must abide by Hanlon’s Razor.”
-
Locking threads because you didn’t like the jokes in them
Welcome to lemmy, but I hope you don’t bring this kind of powermodding into the fediverse. It’s a growing place, so it doesn’t need such a high level of moderation. Also users have a lot of power over the mods. They can see every action you make and make their own community with the same name and rules, but on a more open instance.
So you got a crappy post removed once and you’re still salty about it. Cry some more.
