Damn. They're just trying to wreck shit

Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is second hand, but still funny as hell.

So, I modded a sub. Nothing big, less than 500k users. Decided to go hard after the initial blackout protest and set the sub to restricted, and approved anyone willing to throw in a "fuck spez". I was planning to bring on new mods and get them set up in the last week before the 1st. So, I get the two best candidates in, and let them know that the sub would be crazy, so just hang back and watch.

Wellll, I did warn them about it, including the part where I said I had mentioned to some offline friends that the sub was a free target. These guys have nothing but time, and zero qualms about posting things to justify being set to nsfw.

We're talking herpes infected assholes being posted as portraits of spez, piles of feces done that way, etc.

Well, one of the new mods didn't quite understand what I meant and not only removed the posts, but banned one of the guys. Now, this guy had a regular account and a porn account. So, he's posting from both.

Now, I undid the ban within minutes. But his main account gets a suspension for ban evasion, and his porn account gets a permanent ban for the same.

He sends a little "fuck you" message as the appeal, just to walk away with spite. But, despite the fact that his account wasn't even banned at the time, they denied the appeal.

It was pretty hilarious to him, and me. I wish he'd screen shotted the messages and posts though.

For a few days there, the entire group of folks were posting some brutal shit. They all ended up getting "this was removed by mods" bullshit message, but they'd message me and I'd approve the posts anyway. Reddit still removed half of those, and one account got banned for harassment of spez.

It was the way reddit and their fake accounts acted during all that, that made me change my mind about the sub. It's set private, and won't change until they force it back open, because fuck them. The automod is set where almost everything just posts a mini rant about spez.

The sub is essentially dead now. It'll never come back the way it was. Which sucks, because it was a fucking great sub. But with reddit being shit now, it's better off dead than fumbling along as a zombie version of itself

Only a double handful of people have ever heard it (and known it was me), but I do a passable kargyra, the deep version of tuvan throat singing. Watched Genghis Blues many years ago and tried to do it. Surprisingly, I got it after maybe ten minutes of trying. I can do the other forms as well, but not quite as reliably.

It's strangely satisfying to do. But it's some I really only do for my own pleasure, so it's rare for me to do it when other people are around because they get all curious about it, which ends up as an interruption.

However! I did do a song with a band where I did it on a self written verse. Local band, they do their own records and such. But I did two songs with them, that one where I did the kargyra and the chorus in metal growl, then another with just the growl.

So, people have heard it, but don't realize that it's me. I'm credited as "background vocals" (under my real name, so I can't/don't disclose the band lol). They've sold maybe a thousand discs and downloads of that album total.

They usually play my part as a recorded track at shows (the one with the kargyra is a highly requested track among their tiny fan base), but they did a local show a little while ago and my buddy that fronts the band called in a favor I owed him to get me to do both at the show. So I got all dressed up in black, braided my beard, did corpse paint, and wore a fucking cowl and did it!

I hate crowds. PTSD and such. But it was almost fun okay, the performing was fun, but I was kinda shaking by the end of the night from too many people. I dunno if anyone was fooled (im kinda distinctive looking overall), but nobody has said anything if they weren't.

Cinnamon almost exclusively. But sometimes plasma.

You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool

Can we cut down on the bitching about posts about reddit dying? I get it, nerds are angry. But it isn't a big deal, they have only been here three weeks. *THEY NEED TO HAVE TIME TO GRIEVE, WHICH INCLUDES META CIRCKEJERKS AND SERVE A CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE BY LIMITING THE BITCHING MOSTLY TO THOSE POSTS.

Well, years and years ago, my neighbor had a little black-furred mutt.

Wanna guess its name? It rhymes with bigger.

Now, you wanna hear the hilarious part? My neighbor was African American. She named it that because, "ain't like white folk don't call black dogs that, at least she'll know to come when someone says it, and she can bite their ass."

Miss Margaret was awesome.
