So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).
Turtle is the most drama-seeking person I’ve seen on Reddit and I’ve been there a long time. They always seek out drama and then screenshot it and post it to r/CenturyClubDrama. They contribute like 80% of the total posts to that sub. They also post really long rants and then ban the person they’re ranting at so the person can’t comment back. Don’t be like turtle.
That fucking CenturyClub bullshit; I lasted about 2 days after getting invited to the subreddit a few years ago. What a morass of powermod drama queens and groupthink twats. For some god-unknown reason, I got an re-invite during the protest blackouts from one of their mods, no clue why. Because they were going to talk me out of shutting down a +1M sub?
Image Transcription: Reddit
This website is exploitative garbage with no respect given to all the app makers and third party developers that have kept its decrepit heart beating all this time, submitted by /u/awkwardtheturtle to /u/awkwardtheturtle
/u/spez is a liar and a hypocrite, the admins are two-faced goons, and they are all toxic embarrassments instead of people. They seemed ok when I met them in person (though tiny Spez did seem like he had a lot to compensate for), but promises and assurances from people like chtorrr and redtaboo have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are stooges, not innovators.
Let it all burn to the ground where this useless website belongs
I’m a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too!
I can’t wait for the future where ai can very reliably transcribe anything for the blind folks out there so they can freely browse stuff like we all do.
Good human
It’s almost hilarious that this guy was given a taste of his own medicine.
Oh, is that’s who it is? If so, fuck them.
Weren’t they a massive dick about as well, it wasn’t just an accusation without evidence.
Seems like everyone here deserves eachother.
This case is actually even funnier because that mod turned out to be right! The art was AI generated! Aspects of other people’s watermarks and other AI giveaways were left in the final art so either the whole picture was ai generated and the sketches were done after or it’s all AI generated.
Are you sure about that? I know that was the case with some recent AI-accused artists, but I haven’t seen this specific case mentioned.
The reason I ask is that:
A. There’s nothing I can find online. If you have a link, I’d love to be proven wrong.
B. After looking again art the image in question from January of this year, I don’t see any watermarks or AI tells (hands look perfect and natural, and I couldn’t spot any watermark residuals).
I think I might’ve been wrong here. I had heard and looking into it at the time but it’s possible I mixed multiple stories in my head that happened at the same/similar time. My original source was from a news YouTube channel that I watch/listen to but it wasn’t the headlining news of the video and it was months ago so I have no idea how to search it and see what sources they used.
Sorry if I accidentally spread any misinformation here.

No worries! You realized you might be wrong and corrected yourself. I forgive you, lol!
Apparently the artist provided a lot of evidence that it was his own work and had even provided the PSD files to journalists who reached out to him.
This seems unusually high-effort for ‘AI generated art.’
Turdle is a hypocritical piece of shit
Yeah, this is a “nothing of value was lost,” moment by reddit, lol.
Admins do to them what they did to users and now they’re pissed.
Betrayal gives way to strong feelings of animosity. I have a supposition that most of you would do the same thing. If you were a moderator of a very large subreddit, would you really want to lose your position? If so, why?
Yes, I would want to lose that position. I already have a job. Reddit is a diversion, not a life.

It’s not about having wants, it’s about having principles.
I don’t understand what you are trying to say. I do agree that principles are fundamental, and should be prioritized above all else. However, for what reason would you prioritize them, rather than be selfish?

Fuck her power tripping ass lmao. Mald harder.
Lol.
An actual bad person when given mod status in too many subs: “This site is great”
Site admins ban him and deny appeals
The bad person: “This site is exploitative!!”
Reddit sucks, but this is probably the one good thing to come from Reddits recent actions.
Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.
I mean, the benefit to Lemmy is that it is easy to create a new instance to replace ones controlled by power hungry mods.
trying to encourage a code of morality, as seen in my post for mildly infuriating a few days ago mentioning some of the actions these moderators had done against the community and why they are bad for the health of it.
I hope being one of the large communities it offers a template for those to follow, I might not always get it right but I hope to do my best to eliminate it here. Bad mods ruined reddit.
Bad mods weren’t the only thing contributing to the downfall of Reddit. Infact, Id argue most moderators of Reddit were genuinely good and helped foster each subreddit community in a reasonable manner. As with all things that involve humans, there will always be bad actors, but I think overall I had maybe 2 instances I can remember in all my 14 years of Reddit where a bad moderator removed content because they didnt agree with it.
Aaaaaand he’s gone
Well that’s not what I meant when I said to suspend akwardtheturtle but I guess it succeeded.
Imagine wasting this much of your life modding this many shitty subreddits. Holy jesus.
I really hope whatever website replaces Reddit has some sort of way to mitigate/control these “super” mods
I highly doubt this is anything but a sad attempt at getting some good PR. We’ve seen other big mods suspended supposedly permanently who suddenly negotiated their way out of it. Reddit has no reason to lose such a great employee, if they did this person would have been banned years ago.
Employee? These people are doing it for free!
The best employees are the ones who would do anything to stay ‘employed’ even when you don’t pay them.
Yeah, that’s the point.

Bans people for being men and gamers 😖
Gets banned too 😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
I’m pretty sure she’s a woman, but yes fuck her.
I would rather not.
I don’t stick my dick in excrement
Don’t worry, I’m sure spez is on it.
Well you’re missing out
More for you my friend, more for you
Asshole CEO and Power-tripping mods in a stand-off. I love it.
It’s not even a standoff, an asshole working at Reddit (probably not even the CEO) fired an unpaid volunteer and they’re ugly crying while drinking boxed wine and freaking out about how they’re gonna regret letting them go online.
It’s entirely one sided and nobody really gives a single shit about this dummy. I hope they get the help they desperately need.
Yo there’s nothing wrong with boxed wine.
This boxed wine slander cannot be allowed here!
