    I wish I could see more subreddits do this and finally make the switch to lemmy. I want reddit to have just a bunch of teenagers and elderly who have no idea what’s going on using it. it’ll be a big fuck you to spez

    I’m so fucking happy. I went looking for an equivalent Lemmy community only a couple of days ago and there wasn’t really anything. But now here are the OGs!

    That’s great. I was the creator of subreddits like AnimalsBeingDerps and AmsterdamEnts among others and was quietly permabanned by the admins. I’m just too tired to do anything about it honestly, but it feels pretty shitty.

    Edited for clarity.

        Reading through this again I think it wasn’t clear: I was the top moderator and creator of those subreddits and was permabanned across all my accounts by the admins.

        Yeah, I made a comment about the decline of reddit here on lemmy and that day I was permabanned. You can see it’s the first comment I made here. I had previously run into some other problems and literally all of my alt accounts had already been banned, and I couldn’t make any new accounts. I was pretty outspoken and always ready to have confrontational conversations about fascists and racists, which I guess I was too volatile about. I was also very active on vaporents, which also seems somehow connected to all this as it seems problematic for the IPO. All of this is why I was already pretty miffed at the shithole it was becoming. I think I’ve been pretty anti-reddit for a while, and I guess I was on “thin ice”. Another funny thing is I had also just been interviewed for a small article on boredpanda about the animalsbeingderps subreddit as its creator, and very soon afterwards the other mods over at animalsbeingderps sort of pushed me out at reddit admins’ request to demod mods who don’t mod enough (which was honestly fine as I wasn’t much of a moderator). I had my mod privileges taken away and was relegated to “Alumni” status. My main interaction with the site, other than commenting and posting, was that I would start a sub based on a silly/less silly idea, and then make a ton of posts to kick-start them, then if they grew a bit popular I handed them over to other mod wannabes as I moved on. Anyway, good to finally vomit all this out somewhere.

        Edit: Grammar and clarity.
