Let the tyranny begin.
That’s messed up! Sorry to hear!
I have to imagine the reason would have been this
This is a stickied comment on the pinned post from a deleted account around 11 hours ago. So I am assuming it was you. If I had to guess admin either decided to do it or another mod in that team complained to the admins because they wanted to take control.
Yes, that was my post as we actually had a survey concerning NSFW content going on and the community agreed that they wanted to continue to see NSFW content.
So I did take that opportunity to change the sub to 18+ and that very well could have been trigger that got me removed.
Considering the current state of other subs turning to NSFW content to hurt Reddits chances with advertisers I imagine that is what happened.
Seems like it was an innocent enough thing that happened at a bad time and you got hit by it by either accident or another mod stabbing you in the back.
I'm guessing the latter. They had been lobbying me hard the last few days and I had made it clear I was not changing my stance.
The irony is out of all the subs that have switched to NSFW in the last few days, this was one in which the most popular posts are actually NSFW.
C'est la vie.
Expected behavior from Steve Huffman's lackeys.
I’m glad I was forced to remove my Reddit crutch and dive in full force.
Pretty much the silver lining in all this. Best of luck to you and your adventures here in the Fediverse.
Word. Welcome aboard!
holy fuck
i'm just some asshole with a 13+ year old account that would bitch and moan in the comments section
i can't imagine dedicating so much of my time to build a wonderful community and then being unceremoniously cast away as part of a large purge of dissent
Sorry this happened to you. You deserve better.
I somehow ended up as the sole moderator for r/Corfu. It's a VERY slow subreddit. I'm not sure if I should ignore it, or if there's something I can do with the tiny lever of 'power'.
And the Braindrain continues…
Welcome aboard!
The materials that make up the earth could only have been formed in the supernova of a 3rd or 4th generation star that has coalesced, ignited, lived, and died in this place since the birth of the universe.
The universe in general is expected to continue on for several billion TIMES longer than it has so far.
The disintegration of reddit seeds the raw materials for the next good thing.
@vaprzThe Fediverse is definitely the way to go for true freedom and inclusivity. Are there any other Reddit horror stories out there? Share your experiences
I'm sorry for what they put you through. I hope you find more joy here.
So many stories like yours are coming out. Thanks for sharing.
The momentum definitely seems to swinging Lenny’s way. Glad to see it.
I just deleted my account on Reddit. This behavior is not acceptable anymore at all. Sorry for what happened to you, this must feel disappointing and betraying having put so much of yourself into the platform that simply kicked your out of the door.
I manually deleted all of my comments from the past 13 years because I don't trust an app to complete that process. It took a long time, partly because I revisited a few threads along the way. I'm feeling great about my content being unavailable to Reddit, regardless of whether anyone cares or misses it.
Yes, I do miss Reddit. No, I will not go back. Not because I don't find any value in it -- I do -- but because my personal sense of justice gets in the way of wanting to contribute any longer. The time I used to spend scanning Reddit for new information or drama or funny anecdotes is now spent thinking about how I can contribute to my community in other ways.
