While i agree r/science was terrible at this, it at least kept the conversation relevant. On new discoveries its nice to read about the science rather than: “here comes the end” or some fart joke.

Id like to think this meme is directed towards user exodus rather than moderation to keep things on topic. I hope that the fediverse keeps things on topic and doesn’t complain too much about moderation when it’s necessary.

many times i stopped writing a comment when i realized i was on r/science

Any time I'd use reveddit or similar sites to restore comments deleted from there, it was always stupid jokes or anecdotal stories, never anything directly about the post.

What happened to him? I only know that this person was a (bad) mod on a whole lot of subs.

Now just shut down /r/mademesmile . You'd have to go back to Mao's Red Guards to find worse control freaks.

I honestly think the Reddit thing is over. Redditors are a little toxic and condescending. There may not be as much content on Lemmy but it sure feels peaceful.

Excuse me while I play my fiddle and watch the flames :D

Also: "removed by mod".

The beauty here, though, is you can easily cross-reference on the mod log what post was removed and why.

Makes it a lot easier for us former Reddit mods dealing with claims of persecution.

I used web.archive.org to browse the Reddit communities during the blackout, I still actually use it in most cases because it helps both with subreddits that are still private, but also ones where people have deleted their threads.

It might not work with every single one, but it should work with the ones that appear in Google.
