someone on a subreddit said they had brain bleeding. i asked how it happened. a mod immediately removed it and said that it was an intrusive comment or some nonsense…i messaged them asking them to explain how, and i explained how i thought it would actually be beneficial for the readers if they decided to answer and that they didnt. they responded with some authoritarian nonsense which they actually later deleted. today i get this from them:
Yesterday, I told you:
please tell me that you are willing to back down, to follow our rules, and to take moderator direction in the future without endless and exhausting debate – or indeed without any debate at all. Otherwise, you will no longer be welcome at r/(removed)
Since you have not confirmed and are instead ignoring me, may I take this to mean that you no longer want to be part of r/(removed)?
i was tempted to reply “yes mistress”
this is sadly almost a step in the right direction cuz now they will ban you solely if they dont like your posts or other communities youre a part of.
they want you to go belly up and comply like they get off on it 😂.
i hope reddit crashes and burns hard lmao
I never thought of it this what but I think you’re right. But what is it that lead you to believe there was a mod exodus after the API lockout.
I‘m a former reddit mod, I was part of the reddit mod community, I have discussed the topic at length with other mods, a lot of us have made new communities on lemmy. I‘d say thats how I got the idea.
All the mods that exited lol
