someone on a subreddit said they had brain bleeding. i asked how it happened. a mod immediately removed it and said that it was an intrusive comment or some nonsense…i messaged them asking them to explain how, and i explained how i thought it would actually be beneficial for the readers if they decided to answer and that they didnt. they responded with some authoritarian nonsense which they actually later deleted. today i get this from them:

Yesterday, I told you:

please tell me that you are willing to back down, to follow our rules, and to take moderator direction in the future without endless and exhausting debate – or indeed without any debate at all. Otherwise, you will no longer be welcome at r/(removed)

Since you have not confirmed and are instead ignoring me, may I take this to mean that you no longer want to be part of r/(removed)?

i was tempted to reply “yes mistress”

this is sadly almost a step in the right direction cuz now they will ban you solely if they dont like your posts or other communities youre a part of.

they want you to go belly up and comply like they get off on it 😂.

i hope reddit crashes and burns hard lmao

    I don’t get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I’m sure it gets a it harder but unless it’s a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.

    I also don’t know why you’d want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.
