I'm writing about a concerning situation involving another moderator. They have banned me and removed all my posts in numerous subs on a different account. The reason? I refused to relinquish my top moderator position on a subreddit on this account. They're essentially holding access to dozens of other subreddits they moderate hostage in exchange for my top mod role. This has been ongoing for several months now.
Here's the backstory: I became the top moderator of said subreddit when the previous top mod asked me if I wanted to take over due to my consistent activity and my interest in the sub. However, this other mod is now claiming I "stole" the subreddit from them.
I have Groomercord screenshots showing them promising to lift the ban and reapprove my posts if I hand over the subreddit they claim is theirs. However, they were never the top moderator there, nor did she ever do that much moderating in the sub to begin with and seems like it's just yet another power grab. This abuse of power feels outrageous. It seems like evidence outside of Reddit itself (like Groomercord messages) are not considered in these situations, leaving me stuck.
To make matters worse, they falsely listed me as "not being 18+" in the ban reason, despite knowing I am of legal age. Isn't this essentially them knowingly falsely accusing me of posting underage content, which is a serious offense?
I'm at a loss for how this behaviour is allowed to continue and I'm stuck. Any recommendations on how to proceed?
his mopping list:
there's apparently a well known coomer cabal
some major janny
the other jannies don't like the harsh truth
they want to reevaluate the mod code of conduct now that power janny banning has been used against them

The smell of cooking food is actually air pollution, study finds
Overall, researchers concluded that air pollution from cooking is vastly underestimated and could account for nearly a quarter of VOCs in urban areas. The problem is even more acute indoors and inside homes.
What this means for air quality management remains to be seen. Having the data, Coggon believes, is the first step.
You vill not cook the food to make it tasty, besides it is a fire hazard in your pod anyway.

Less seethe in the actual Argentinian sub: https://old.reddit.com/r/argentina/comments/1cn7hbz/milei_is_already_proving_the_leftwing_economic/?sort=controversial
!chuds foid shocked at seeing mayos in argentina
Argentina has historically been a country of failed governments, economic collapses, and debt defaults. Yet incredibly there are signs that – against all the odds – the bold, free market reforms of its libertarian President Javier Milei are beginning to work.
With inflation falling, interest rates coming down, and the Peso on fire in one market, Milei is already proving the global Left-wing economic establishment – addicted to bigger government and endless deficits – wrong. Indeed, it may provide a template for other countries to escape from zero growth.
First, what's changed in the country: inflation has fallen to 11pc and Milei predicts it will fall further. While a monthly figure (this is Argentina after all), price rises may be coming back under control after soaring above 300pc annually.
Argentina's economic growth has been volatile
Real GDP annual change
Last week, Milei announced that the country had recorded its first quarterly budget surplus since 2008, a modest 0.2pc of GDP, but still an astonishing achievement in such a short space of time, especially for a country that has run deficits for 113 of the last 123 years.
Then, earlier this week, the central bank, which Milei has not yet gotten around to abolishing as he pledged, cut interest rates for the third time in three weeks. While they are still at an eye-watering 50pc, that will start to feed through into the economy very soon. Investors have started to notice.
According to Bloomberg data, in the blue-chip swap market the Peso was the best-performing currency in the world in the first quarter of this year, and the bond markets are rallying as well.
It may also get better over the months ahead. With stabilising prices, and a rising currency, investment should start flowing again into a country rich in natural resources and hyper-competitive on wages costs.
If Milei can make good on his promise to unlock the country's vast reserves of shale oil and gas – using technologies that have proved safe and successful in the US – then the economy could even start to boom.
If so, Argentina would be defying a global economic establishment addicted to bigger government, more regulation, and rising deficits.
We keep being lectured, not least by the shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves, and by President Biden and his acolytes in the United States, on the need for an active state, an industrial strategy, and more borrowing to pay for investment, and that regulation is the key to industrial and economic leadership, not its enemy.
The IMF, meanwhile, was too often a huge cheerleader for the failed Argentinian administrations of the past, extending the biggest loans in its history to the country.
On Milei's election, he was dismissed as a madman who would be removed from office within a matter of months, if not weeks. In proving that narrative wrong, he would show that even after the short-lived catastrophe of the Liz Truss government, free market reforms are far from impossible.
So how is he en route to deliver such a massive shock to the stale economic orthodoxy? Fundamentally, he got three big calls right.
First, even without a majority in parliament, he has been ruthless. Whole government departments have been closed down overnight, regardless of the immediate consequences. The Ministry of Culture was axed, so was the anti-discrimination agency, and the state-owned news service. Only last month, he unveiled plans to fire another 70,000 state employees.
Milei hasn't attempted to cut gradually, to control budgets, or to ease people out with early retirement, or hiring freezes. Instead, he has, as promised, taken a ‘chainsaw' to the machinery of the state, yielding huge savings in the process.
Next, he has been bold. The president massively devalued the peso on day one, taking the financial hit upfront, and then tore up rent controls, price restrictions and state subsidies. He pared back workers' rights, reducing maternity leave and severance compensation, and allowed companies to fire workers who went on strike.
He ripped away fuel subsidies, even though it meant a temporary spike in inflation. Sure, there has been some short-term pain, but the results are now becoming evident.
Rents, for example, are falling by 20pc a year as landlords, freed from controls, put more supply on the market, instead of withdrawing it as they do in countries where the price is set by the government.
Finally, Milei has never stopped making the argument. He promotes freedom, liberalisation and a smaller state with a messianic zeal.
Many of the measures he has taken might be rough, but the president has never attempted to dismiss that, instead explaining patiently and persistently why the reforms are justified, and how they will create greater prosperity for everyone in the long run.
Much of the developed world, and the UK in particular, are gradually slipping into Argentinian-style stagnation before Milei came along.
Governments are hooked on subsidies and price controls, trying to buy their way out of every challenge with higher spending. Deficits are allowed to rise relentlessly, with no meaningful plan for ever bringing them down again. A corrupt, crony capitalism is allowed to flourish, killing competition.
But the Argentine leader is providing a blueprint for how to break free. The global economic elite keeps lecturing us on why we need more government and a more powerful state despite the painful lack of results. Argentina is challenging it in dramatic fashion.
It is just possible that it is starting to work.

Mark Laita runs Soft White Underbelly, where he interviews and photographs people generally from the seedier side of life. Some interviewees are cops, excons, mentally ill people, etc. but he also tends to offer random people on Skid Row a few hundred for their stories. Sometimes/occasionally it's very interesting, often it's just a rambling junkie.
Mark found the Whittaker family in a <1000 pop town called Odd, West Virginia when he asked a cop about interesting local people. Their family tree is a clusterfrick with far too many overlapping lines, with the bulk of the children coming from two cousins of identical twin brothers.
They are severely inbred to the point they look like cartoonish caricatures of inbred hicks, some of them are nonverbal and have the minds of children. Mark's first video of them is here, I won't spoil it but it's worth watching until the end. Ray, who doesn't talk outside of grunts and barks, shows that he understands what people around him are talking about.
As described in the video, when he first tried to photograph them one of their cousins Jason who lived nearby threatened him with a shotgun and told him to stay the frick away from them. Eventually he was able to talk him down and later interviewed him - he's a career criminal and drug addict with sexual assault charges against a minor.
Based on the positive response from the first video, Mark had more follow-up videos with the Whittaker family and they began a very wholesome chungus relationship with him buying them groceries and taking them to the state fair.
The follow-up videos started to include a gofundme link where people could donate to the family as they apparently needed a new home.
With money and attention coming in, some other vulturous soytuber clickbait cute twink took it upon himself to visit Odd Virginia and the Whittakers.
Timestamped is when he starts talking about Mark and the Whittakers. He says that over $77k was raised on just one GoFundMe and they should have funds to buy a $139k house in cash. When asked about the house Betty Whittaker squawks that she doesn't know anything about any house and that Mark said there are no more funds available. Their caretaker says she doesn't seem to understand either. This guy creates another gofundme for the Whittakers.
Mark responds and explains that the Whittakers kept asking for money from the GoFundMe. Since it's their money, he couldn't really refuse. He has receipts that he's sent a bit over $100,000 and they've pissed it all away with no house to show for it.
Although Mark was supposed to have washed his hands of the family after this, tragedy struck later in the month when BJ Whittaker reported that her father Larry had died. She called him emotionally sobbing and crying. requesting $800 for help with funeral expenses and a little over $250 for clothing for her and her family. She said the service would be on Facebook Live.
Betty confirmed the death on the phone, but Mark, seeming to smell something was off, flew across the country that day and showed up to the house to attend Larry's funeral. Larry drives up to the house in his truck about 13 minutes in.
Mark confronts BJ and Betty, who despite typically answering any question with something akin to "Ah dunno" was apparently lucid enough to play along with a lie about a family member dying. Apparently Betty also gives cash from the "family funds" to Larry's grandson Brandon (seen here in the back).
Mark had a followup with Jason the other day. Most recently, Larry asked for cash to try to get BJ help and out of state away from the family, being the worst influence. She, of course, didn't go anywhere, and the Whittakers who are capable of communicating in words were all able to stay consistent on another lie that got them money.
The shotgun toting felon chomo who originally threatened Mark agrees that they're actually untrustworthy and he probably should no longer try to help them.
Moral:
DO NOT TRUST WHITE """PEOPLE"""
