I've scheduled messages to send as much as 12 months in advance just to make sure a Reddit moderator knows what i think of them

Most reddit mods are all losers on a powertrip. They may not all be 13 years old but they sure as hell act like it. Some of the smaller subreddits manage to find adults who aren't far-right radicals, those are alright but rare.

I know one guy in real life and considered him a friend. He ended up being sucked it and became like the rest. He banned me.

Subreddit doesn’t get taken over by right wing (racist/homophobic/ableist) mods or tankie mods challenge IMPOSSIBLE

How do you schedule messages? On Reddit or Lemmy.

11 years is nothing compared to my cs1.6 ban from when I was a teenager lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's ~20 years, for those who are curious.

I was, and thank you.

10 years is a blink of an eye. I once drew fanart comics for a 2005 tv show fan forum. I posted my last ones in Twitter with little to no fanfare. When Twitter recently turned into X, I logged back in out of curiosity to find one reply... "do these have a homepage?". 19-ish years later I replied "yes", and in kind got back a "thanks".

I got my first comment on a City's Skyline map I made years ago just the other day. I forgot I even uploaded them.

… imagine holding a grudge for 11 years over an online ban…

Stop it, get some help

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago

I admire the commitment, and the humor in it

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

But he held no grudge. Read the article.

Jonathan still owes me $.25 for a bag of Doritos on the field day in elementary school. I’ve never forgotten.

It could have just been a joke on that guy's part. I doubt he actively was angry ablut it for 11 years constantly. That's just unrealistic lol.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

You'd both know the answer if you read the article lol

We are defined by the things we feel mostly strongly about.

Fucking legend is what he is.

I wish I was this dedicated to... Anything

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I admire the dedication. Seems like a waste of time though. The account they were arguing with probably isn't even still in use. And even if it is, the argument probably isn't worth it.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago

The article said he's basically only doing it for comedic purposes. It is funny.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Waste of time?

He put it in his calendar for a reminder 11 years in the future.

Spent 5 minutes logging in and typing up his response.

Now we all benefit from it!

Isn't all of this just a big waste of time though?

Wow, Hirroo Onoda, nice name drop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Funny, I just watched Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle a few weeks ago.

Damn, there's a movie? Where can I find that?

I know the story from the Hardcore History podcast.

E: It's on Amazon Prime.
