Over on Reddit, /r/AssholeDesign was taken over by a moderator that had been radio silent for over two years. The linked Imgur album contains modmail screenshots and our entire conversation after calling them out for this betrayal.
Honestly, chances are Reddit didn’t even ask them either. They could have been dead in a ditch for years for all Reddit gives a shit, they just need the content public again asap. And I would not put it past them to “access” a dead mod account to achieve those ends
To be fair based on the quality of this community it’s not much of an improvement on that front.
There’s more posts that have nothing to do with design and are just people venting than there are actual posts of asshole design here.
There’s still very few posts here so we haven’t been strict with the definition yet.
What a piece of garbage.
hi, this was entertaining to read really happy to see loud disobedient mods being replaced and removed you have no sympathy from me. when it comes to reddit, decide for yourself if you want to continue using it or not. don’t hold the community hostage. you don’t own it. grow up
The entire point of a protest is to cause inconvenience and annoyance. It’s how you get people to pay attention. Otherwise you’re just the crazy man yelling at clouds.
Oh sorry I guess you own it then right? Poor baby lost his community so sad. You literally only think as far as “I don’t like it so it’s bad”. Besides the fact the post shows they were still giving people access to the community the whole fucking time you ass-clown.
I know for a fact you read the first part of this and said “I know exactly what this is about” and show down to the comment section to post a bunch of bullshit.
So why do you think you are owed reddit communities again?
are random mods owed control over reddit communities? I’m very happy for the protests, but also happy that the power tripping mods are losing that power. It’s a win-win.
“disobedient”.
Not trying to be rude, but were you going to reopen the sub and be business as usual?
Sounds like they were gonna put it to a community vote
lol who gives a shit man. reddit is dead. You’ve lost your power. get over it. go get a real job
I didn’t think a lot of arseholes came over from Reddit however you’ve proven me wrong.
this is my design page buddy
You should have redirected your community somewhere else to begin with. It’s not your site. They make their own rules up. You played chicken with the Hoover dam.
They took a principled stance it’s no surprise they wouldn’t break it without good reason.
And they did redirect people to Lemmy as best they could. I’m actually shocked reddit let them send those DMs with the Lemmy community in it.
Well welcome to lemmy, sorry that happened. Such a dick move.
This is INFURIATING!!!
What is the discord server? What an AH
You’re the same group of mods who all teamed up and went dark to silence subreddits you disagreed with.
You also regularly remove posts that have thousands of upvotes because of vague rules like
-
“No low effort content”
-
“no recent reposts over 6 months”
-
“all posts must abide by Hanlon’s Razor.”
-
Locking threads because you didn’t like the jokes in them
Welcome to lemmy, but I hope you don’t bring this kind of powermodding into the fediverse. It’s a growing place, so it doesn’t need such a high level of moderation. Also users have a lot of power over the mods. They can see every action you make and make their own community with the same name and rules, but on a more open instance.
So you got a crappy post removed once and you’re still salty about it. Cry some more.
wat
It sounds like you’re against subs going dark in protest, but you’re on Lemmy. I’m kind of confused.
Oh, I’m not against subs going dark.
When it’s against the admins. :v

What a massive piece of shit.
You might even say he was an asshole
Wow what a power trip for what exactly? If he’s not even actively involved what does he want it for?
Let’s be honest, everyone here is on a power trip if we’re using the word “coup”
What word do you think would better describe the situation?
“Internet drama”, this isn’t a national government being overthrown, this is a bunch of piss babies pissing uncontrollably
You’re not wrong, but coup sounded better as a title.
Pitchfork, I sympathise with you. You guys are the real team. This kid is just a scum with a dirty soul.
Lol, oh the irony.
Honestly i get that you are angry/disappointed on a personal level. But its pretty normal reaction from reddits side. You were not cooperative to their request to open up the sub so they searched for someone who would do it.
I dont want to defend them, i allready cleared my account over there but from a business perspective its a normal reaction. If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.
And the new mod might be a prick for backstabbing your protest but thats just a opinion. If there are enough users who want to keep using the sub, regardless of reddits shitty behaviour, its ok to reopen it and none of the old mods has a right to hold it “hostage” for their protest.
If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.
If they work without payment, they’re not your employees. And reddit isn’t a registered charity either.
It is their site so they can technically do what they want, but it makes them assholes and is not “ok” as you put it.
Thats your opinion…as long as the company pays the servers its their right to manage them as they want. And its the right of everyone of their customers to leave the platform if they dont like it (thats what i did).
Maybe volunteer would have been a better word than employee but that doesnt change the essential part that its reddit whos paying the bills for the servers and the technical staff so in the end they have the last word.
But thx for replying instead of just stupid downvoting.It’s a privately owned site, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Power tripping mods have been a problem this whole time anyway. I’m glad reddit is dying and i’m glad the mods are too.
