I usually don’t pay attention to mod names, however, this name wasn’t an odd one to me somehow.
Then I tried to search for the name as I remember seeing in the past that a handful of mods owned 90% of the subreddits.
Bumped into this and now I know this mod was one of them.

drewiepoodle is their main Reddit account, the mod account awkwardtheturtle is her alt
They have various alt accounts, if I recall correctly. Before closing my account on Reddit, and this drama happening, I am sure she mentioned opening an account on Beehaw.
On the one hand, it would make sense. Beehaw's style feels more authoritarian to me than other places and Turtle would be attracted to that.
Problem is, idk if they're taking on help but I don't think it's likely she'll be chosen out of the crowd if they are and I know non-admins can't make anything over there.
If she can't seize power, she'll go somewhere she can
She'll likely try, but I bet Beehaw won't give her any power and will end up booting her out pretty quickly. She can't help but be inflammatory and they want none of that.
Huh, that's really interesting. I think I've interacted with her (or them? What pronouns do they use?) on several trans subreddits before not knowing they're a powermod. I don't remember any of my conversations with her being too weird but clearly touching grass is going to do her some good.
Wow that person was not liked by the community
