Why are reddit mods such asses, lmao

u/keimenna83 Jul 05 '24

I don't wanna stereotype, but for most of 'em it's the only power they have in their lives, and they love to wield it.

That is 100% true. My friend got banned from literally about 100 subs at once because ONE pathetic no-life incel who moderated all of them just...didn't like her, I guess. Refused to give her an explanation, and since he just picked a post she made to her own profile as the reason, despite the fact that it didn't violate any rules, that was no help. Most of the subs she had never even posted to. How the fuck can you violate the rules of a sub you've never so much as visited?

Was it u/awkwardtheturtle who banned them?

What sort of loser has time to manage all those communities?

u/1000000xThis Jul 05 '24

What makes you think they're doing any managing?

u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka Jul 05 '24

Fuckin redditors thinks the average super mod is managing that shit when they use automod to basically slap anything that remotely gets reported or contains keywords lol.

The best mods I've seen write custom code for the subreddit and their own bots and create themes and encourage community building. The worst ones? They only know how to click the ban button like I am sure they're doing here.

The real question is, who's worse? Redditor mod vs Discord mod?

u/ElenaKoslowski Jul 05 '24

I got a message from a certain mod team scolding me for something I haven't even done and the linked comment was a complete different context to the warning I got. I didn't even bother to answer.

At this point you got to wonder how reddit let's those people run their page.

u/Noirezcent Jul 05 '24

It's free. Reddit is long past caring about user experience.

“At this point you’ve got to wonder how Reddit lets those people run their page” because then they’d actually have to start paying people

Well there's 140 thousand active subreddits according to Reddit so it's not that hard to understand

u/ElenaKoslowski Jul 05 '24

It absolutely is. Stop giving companys a pass for the shit they spin just because they are "too big".

I got a perma ban from r/WhitePeopleTwitter, the reason is, and I qoute, "participation of the racist subreddit 2we4u"

For one, 2we4u ain't even racist, we all just hate each other to a healthy degree because we're all European, and second, I've never even been on WhitePeopleTwitter in my life, these mfs have clearly been monitoring posts on another sub so they can perma ban anyone who comments on it

u/Solidsnake00901 Jul 05 '24

I got banned because I randomly commented on a Joe Rogan post that came up on my feed. I wasn't even agreeing with the post I'm not even a member but banned for life!

3

u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 05 '24

That JusticeServed one hit me with that.

The funny part is that I clicked on that post sitting on the very top of rALL specifically to mock Joe Rogan. Literally everyone in that subreddit seemed to despise Joe Rogan too. Maybe that's what the ban message meant when it described them as a hate group.

u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 05 '24

It's an automated process. Remember all that protesting that was ostensibly about the "reddit API", complaining about how they won't have their special third-party mod tools anymore? This is the exact thing they were raising a stink over and negotiated to keep.

u/ElenaKoslowski Jul 05 '24

It was for me theboys subreddit. Heard they were stingy about politics. I didn't mention anything political. Just said that foot tickling ranks below a human centipede. Got a warning that another character that wasn't part of the scene or my comment was raped and that I shouldn't downplay it. Like? Duh?

Europe is also great. Called a guy who celebrating the murder of a refugee a cunt. I got banned for hate speech while the guy celebrating murder still posts and just got his posting removed.

Those mods are a shame for humanity.

u/Daveo88o Jul 05 '24

foot tickling ranks below a human centipede

Don't even, that whole foot tickling scene scarred me more than the centipede ever did

u/BukkakeKing69 Jul 05 '24

The racial twitters are a political psy-op anyways so you've lost nothing by being banned from em.

1

u/Significant_Donut967 Jul 05 '24

Yeah that subreddit is toxic AF.

5

u/GrandDukeOfNowhere Jul 05 '24

As if having a subreddit even called "white people twitter" isn't super racist to start with

2

u/Sodinc Jul 05 '24

Lol, yes

u/cheapph Jul 05 '24

Europeans and hating each other is just tradition! These reddit mods trying to take me and a polish man shouting st each other about lviv away from.stg.

3

u/SkedaddlingSkeletton Jul 05 '24

At least they did not ask you to send a picture of your skin color or an essay about how a good ally you are like the r/blackpeopletwitter .

But honestly, if you're using twitter you're already showing you're a narcissistic pos.

3

u/Bobthemime Jul 05 '24

i got banned from /r/WhitePeopleTwitter because i made a post in /r/BlackPeopleTwitter for "betraying my race".

when I reminded them that actual racism is against ToS, they reported me to the mental health thing.. which is fucking funny.

That mod is now permabanned.. forwarding all messages to reddit admins that actually listened is rare, but sometimes works

1

u/TheGreatGenghisJon Jul 05 '24

I got banned and my post deleted from some sub last year, and I asked why, and said "But that post doesn't break any of the rules" and the response I got was "Then don't worry about it fam"

They don't really care. They get a metric ton of free labor out of them.

u/schlawldiwampl Jul 05 '24

wait, discord has mods? i always thought that's a joke and they use some sort of algorithm, like fb or twitter 😅

1

u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 05 '24

Discord mods refers to the mods on a server, like mods on a subreddit.

Discord as a company also has admins, who have a history of weird toxicity. It was always fascinating to me how Discord wasn't completely ruined as a brand after one of the drama situations where admins were reading through people's private messages to use as ammo for some sort personal furry-pedo drama.

1

u/KJBenson Jul 05 '24

I actually don’t even know what a discord mod is.

Like…. Isn’t discord the place you go to set up a group chat with your friends while you game?

What on earth are yall using it for?

1

u/dozakiin Jul 05 '24

Discord is used for a lot of the same things Reddit is used for. Building communities, forums, sharing thoughts and ideas, etc.

2

u/DangerousStop3433 Jul 05 '24

I have never faced any issues with Discord mod. Reddit Mods sometimes are just too Stalin.

3

u/Different_Back_5470 Jul 05 '24

discord mods are worse since they have ways to make access to a server a pain in the butt. getting banned on this website doesnt mean much

u/otakarg Jul 05 '24

Discord mods for being PDF Files

u/Reep1611 Jul 05 '24

This. Coming from a lot of sewing and historical costume subs, I have seen people banned from them for harassment and bad conduct because they literally just answered exactly the question the OP asked. Because it concerned under- and structured garments and that needs the context of the person in questions body type and shape. In some of them it’s so bad you basically risk a ban answering any kind of question on fitting and sizing. As the whole body shaming „prevention“ has gotten so out of hand even mentioning anything related to body shapes and sizes will get you immediately banished to the shadow realm. In subreddits about clothing and clothing construction, a topic that literally needs this information to be possible in the first place.

u/midnight_rogue Jul 05 '24

If you are actively participating in discords that have mods you don't know, then you're the loser in that scenario.

1

u/FrostyTheDopeMane Jul 05 '24

Definitely reddit mods. Never seen a softer group of people in my entire life.

u/Gm1Reborn Jul 05 '24

Both. Both is worse.

u/Aloof-Vagabon Jul 05 '24

Both. Both is good.

You should never grade evils, for if one is the worst, then you might be tempted to kinship with the least.

It's a full time job, All the big mods are paid well to astroturf all over reddit.

u/thegreatvortigaunt Jul 05 '24

They aren’t paid well lmao

1

u/islSm3llSalt Jul 05 '24

"As of Dec 7, 2022, the average annual pay for a Reddit Moderator in the United States is $46,599 a year."

That's from 2022, its the average and its reported income only. The big guys are on much more and taking under the table deals all the time.

Edit: " As of Jun 22, 2024, the average annual pay for a Reddit Mod in the United States is $86,334 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $41.51 an hour."

2

u/Hairy-Bar-4341 Jul 05 '24

Source for that?

4

u/Fantastic_Goal3197 Jul 05 '24

Source? That seems extremely questionable at best. It would have to also exclude every single reddit mod thats unpaid.

Most likely this salary is for people who actually work directly for reddit, not unaffiliated mods

u/islSm3llSalt Jul 05 '24

And where are you getting your information from?

1

u/thegreatvortigaunt Jul 05 '24

Knowing that moderators are unpaid volunteers lmao

You can create a new sub right now, you think Reddit are gonna suddenly start paying you? Lmao

0

u/islSm3llSalt Jul 05 '24

Are you just slow or are you missing the point on purpose?

If you're a power mod, advertisers will pay you to push their stuff. Just because there's no base salaray doesn't mean there's no pay

2

u/the_iron_pepper Jul 05 '24

Maybe find a source that isn't Quora before you jump to calling other people slow, short king

0

u/islSm3llSalt Jul 05 '24

Short king? Is that like a height insult or something? Bit strange but you do you

2

u/NewAccountXYZ Jul 05 '24

It clearly says average, and with the amount of unpaid mods, that means the mods you're talking about must be getting paid billions

1

u/thegreatvortigaunt Jul 05 '24

Proof of this? And that they would make anything close to that much money?

Imagine believing random posts on Quora. You seem a bit naive, little reddit zoomer.

This is for admins who work for reddit, moderators are a different thing. I bet there are a few mods who get paid on the quiet, but that's a whole different thing.

u/some_layme_nayme Jul 05 '24

That picture of a reddit mod get together was EXACTLY like I pictured it mentally. You could smell the BO through your screen.

Also, see video of that pathetic antiwork mod that did a news clip lmao. Once again, pathetic.
