This is the first time in about 15 years that he will finally see the sunlight.

    This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.

    Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn’t have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban “wasn’t enough,” they gave a longer ban so I would “learn my lesson.”

    Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.

        This mod was infamous for banning people from uncontroversial subs for the sin of commenting in subs they didn’t approve of, regardless of content. Like if you made a comment in /r/conservative making fun of Donald, they’d ban you from /r/videos for being a Republican.

        This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving dirtbag.

    Dipshits like this are the reason why moderators have such a bad reputation. Powermods in general are very controversial but this person takes the cake.

      Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.

        Reddit wasn’t like that all the time. I do remember a time on Reddit where it was - or at least felt like it - a bit like it feels on Lemmy right now. Lots of nerdy outsider communities and admins who seemed to care. Not trying to be a negative nancy here, just a reality check or something like that.

          Federation is over-hyped when joining or promoting. It’s only really important when there’s a problem.

          It’s like trying to sell a new car by featuring the warranty, or trying to sell a computer by talking about backups. Both important, but not a shiny selling point for new users.

          I get why the devs want to feature federation. If you build a car, you’re probably going to want to talk about the engine and its design. But the users just want “car go fast”.
