Fuck the major subs. I don’t miss that arbitrary shit at all. And may I just add, fuck AwkwardtheTurtle in particular: seeing them get eaten by their own antics was just -chef’s kiss-
They got on the wrong side of their admin buddies somehow, and the admins did what the admins always do: the leopards ate the face of the top-scoring face-eating leopard. Awkward then spent the next several days whining about it publicly in every forum they could think of, in the most nauseating way, like “this is what I get in return for liking the taste of your boot, how could you do this to me after all I’ve done for youuuuu” type posts, when the reality is that they’d spent the last decade being an actual fucking putz to average rule-abiding Redditors just for the fun of it.
The actual Reddit posts have all been modded away, of course, but there are some good non-Reddit overviews:
I never get tired of looking at it. Almost like when a former shitposting president got booted off Xitter: too little too late, but quite pleasant nonetheless.
Wow. I’ve seen then mentioned a few times on here before but never knew the background. I’m a particular fan of them claiming they made john oliver famous through the spam.
The cynic in me absolutely suspectes reddit kept them around just for the traffic they generated. But as soon as the protests started it seems to have been “not like this”.

What happened to him? I only know that this person was a (bad) mod on a whole lot of subs.

Wow, it only takes an online petition to get reddit admins to do their job. Very professional company.
Seeing that dick get his comeuppance is an incredibly rare Reddit admin W.

Sometimes I’m embarrassed to admit I have NO fucking idea what someone is talking about.
This is not one of those times.
Now just shut down /r/mademesmile . You’d have to go back to Mao’s Red Guards to find worse control freaks.
