To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.
They were 100% aware they were hosting a "not technically child pornography but we're going to use it as child pornography" sub, but there's no subreddit degenerate enough that they'll ban it while it's profitable.
For those who don't know, look into the Creator of that sub. It's a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it's hella interesting.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Unreal that this bot started quoting the title!
Can't you do that on Lemmy now?
I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world
Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they'll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.
That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there
Hmm... not sure. That's interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.
Look at me, I am the mods now.
Why be fair to Spez?
He wasn't fair to his userbase.
Treat people as ~~you would like to be treated~~ they demonstrate they treat people.
Do unto others as they do unto others
Exactly.
In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, believe them and respond accordingly.
Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn't the point of that be to... moderate it, so that it didn't have illegal content?
Not vouching for "legal jailbait" or anything.
It was jailbait wasn't it?
Yes, and also /r/ihaveaverysmallpenis
Is that a joke or not the onion?
It is more that mods could make anyone a mod, even without their permission.
We're you a moderator of /r/Pyongyang too?
My thinking: forget about technicalities of wherever he was an inactive “moderator”…
…focus on where he was an active administrator. NSFW ex. (link courtesy previous comment thread). Which includes the subreddit the OP is about, to be sure.
I don't want links I want somebody to tell me what the sub is.
It's r/CuteFemaleCorpses. At least that's what the ppl are talking about and where the link leads to.
It looks like he was assigned as mod in a time when you could assign any valid username as a moderator to a sub. He was also assigned to r/jailbait among others.
Right, hence my top-level comment and the previous discussion about it - given your link aversion:
~Spez was the mod of a vile sub!~ Spez was the admin of an entire site with many vile subs.
The more-easily-defensible criticism is also the harsher criticism.
Just use your words ffs
It's r/cutefemalecorpses and r/jailbait, how hard is that that you would mess it up multiple times?
i agree. but btw, if ur on android, u can use an app like UrlChecker to preview the link before opening, or maybe your lemmy client has a 'view source' option.
Oh Spez.
I remember when "the other site" launched an instant messaging feature. It was buggy as hell and interfered with my browsing experience on the site. Totally didn't expect anything to come of it, but mostly jokingly messaged Spez through the new feature knowing it would go to an endless abyss never to be seen again. Surprisingly he responded. Cordial but ultimately also not at all helpful. But some time later (maybe a month?), the bug I messaged him about was fixed. So, maybe it wasn't all fruitless.
I wonder if he ever got a ride in Epstein’s aeroplane…
Is there a body to this post? I can't see one on my Lemmy client, but everyone seems to be responding to something.
Same, I see nothing but the title in the body.
If anyone wants another reason to hate spez, just look into his relationship with Drewiepoodle, aka /u/awkwardtheturtle, a misandristic degenerate who dedicated their free time to the noble cause of bullying men online because they were butthurt their wife transitioned. Reddit only suspended their account to stop people from asking questions, but they have self reported that they constantly use alts to ban evade.
