  • Could have been. Reddit never actually told us anything. One of the other mods got a private message on another channel (discord maybe?) from the missing mod about it. But details were light, and the missing mod never even tried to return to Reddit. Said the ban was good for his mental health.

    Then there was some Subreddit specific drama, and Reddit admins actually did the good thing. Then the API change, the blackout, and a couple other things that specifically fucked over mods. So I too, mostly left.




  • Are you me? Because that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I set my default browse experience to Top 6 hour and then scroll All.

    I do miss the community aspect of Reddit. There were other users who I ran into regularly in the comments. And usually not in a hostile way.

    Hell, there was one sub where I was invited to the mod team because of those interactions. I did that for a couple years and continued to be active in the sub until Reddit start pissing off mods. That and my main “friend” on the mod team had his account nuked by Reddit after he fell for a troll.

    Reddit removed every comment he had ever made, including wonderful and well cited rebuttals of the right-wing bigotry of the day.

    So yeah, I logged out of that reddit account and have never logged back in, instead I use a burner account and try not comment on anything.





  • A slight correction about the Klan, while it was likely true of the first version of the Klan, the second was a multilevel marketing scam by racists to fleece other racists out of their money.

    The robes were branded clothing, and the rings, and the white only vacation spots, and so much more.

    The story of it all is somewhat funny, and very depressing. Mostly because it’s always the exact same story. A racist leader scamming their followers out of money while encouraging more racism.

    Behind the Bastards did a multiple part episode on the Klan a while back, it’s worth a listen.
