edit: small fun update here, big ones down below the original text
— — —
Very abridged highlights reel, more to follow. Powerlessjannies went predictably berserk and have continued throughout the night. These were some of my favorites.
If you’re just tuning in to this horrifically depressing saga, I’d recommend starting with their initial plans to “play to users’ psychology” and close half the site until Reddit does what they want and the next-day admin response to their cries.
Key takeaways:
- Belle’s “I’m leaving forever and I really mean it this time” meant exactly as much as it did the first 747382828 times she said it. She is still hideously ugly, for anyone keeping score.
- Mr. Davis: no, http://rdrama.net was not down. You’re just bad with computers.
- Mr. Mega: there were no new screenshots because we were building dramatic tension and letting the admin response simmer for the evening before posting this one. You weren't hidden. I'm sorry.
- They considered going against the chadmins and closing everything immediately because “lives are at stake,” but handwringing from BelleAriel & Co. about losing their incredibly important internet moderator positions made them come to their senses.
- They intend to cry to more dead media outlets and get them to screech that Reddit is LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE if their impotent demands aren’t met.
- They’re actively watching us 🤗 I know you guys run in different - and yet equally embarrassing - circles, but I’d recommend reading this thread and this one too, if you’d like some things to be mad at Reddit for that actually matter. Please stop enabling child abuse and womanbeating. It’s not cute.
Anyway thanks for all the content, I’ll continue scrolling later. Stop banning innocent people to stop the “leaks” - it’s not doing anything lol

Update 1: They‘re planning to mass tweet at Reddit advertisers on Monday lmao
Update 2: New plan is to - oh my god - write to their congressmen. Using a Reddit bot.
Update 3: Not a development, but definitely my favorite quote of this whole affair so far.
Update 4: This update is a few pieces long. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
First we have the beginnings of a very long discussion about unionizing. An unpaid internet janitor union with negative value whose replacements can be easily automated or done by literally any shut-in.
Our boy conalfisher is once again the voice of reason though. Join us here conal!
Merari (lmao) has unironically declared jannie to be a transphobic slur. You cannot make this shit up.
Seb (I think he's meant to be the leader of this shitshow?) has directly linked the main image of this thread 
He's not happy!
He's demanded that everyone in that screenshot change their Groomercord display name so as not to reflect their Reddit identity which they think will allow them to operate anoynmously, since they have realized the futility of trying to stop the "leaks". Let's see how that goes for them.
Update 5: Seb thinks he figured out the leak issue! I will refrain from updating for a few hours. Is this because you got me Seb? Or am I playing along?

Yeah, the only difference between him and the others is he seems aware of what's at stake: their ability to wield small amounts of power over others on the internet, which is all any of them have going for themselves.
This is why nobody that wants power should ever have power.

Absolutely. There probably a million n8thegr8 clones on reddit. Only difference is which one managed to get a mod slot. He's the most average of average redditors and replacing him would barely be a hiccup for the operations of the website.

I'm honestly surprised that the admins haven't fully automated moderation of the popular subreddits just to avoid spergouts like this.

It gives them more legal freedom. User moderation means that the entirety of the subreddits are use generated content.

enforcing rules and removing violating content does not jeopardize section 230 protection.
prior to section 230 it was a much more gray area, i don't know if there were prior court cased making it official or if it was just a common r-slurred belief that a site had to make a decision between complete free-for-all and strict moderation ensuring nobody defamed anyone or posted anything even a little bit illegal.

After this little stunt of theirs it's probably coming. Either bots or actual employees. I think reddit adims have had enough of the power mods self righteous bullshit. I can't wait for the drama wave that'll come from it.

Eventually the badmins clue into the fact the powerjannies are the ones who are really threatening reddit as a source of revenue by kicking up these temper tantrums and exposing the shady shit that made reddit popular.
The model reddit can use to become profitable is the same as pay to win mobile games. Attract a small core of hardcore users who will buy every new update immediately at sticker price, and a vast array of drive by users who log in a half dozen times in a month, throw a few dollars it it for some cosmetic shit, and then never show up again.
Instead they have a cabal of terminally online powerusers who likely use adblocks, only draining money into server usage while ruining the experience for casual users so they don't bother dropping the few bucks on skins before they frick off forever.

It's too late. The badmins already gave them too much. Maybe this is Spez' wake up call moment, but yesterday I went to all of the submissions about the "we call on the admins"...post and the communities that were not being SANE and saying, "But ... how the frick do you determine what's misinformation"...were seething at the opportunity to ban in particular r/conservative. The srdines had a post full of seethe about r/conservative being for conservatives.
The best time to submit to the conservative subs is 6am and 6pm. Before work and after work. That's who will buy the products reddit wants to advertise. Not teen furries in Italy. Banning The Donald hurt reddit more than it realizes because the word went out that the site is not for anyone right of Bernie. PCM is the only place on reddit where there is conversation that crosses political boundaries and there's a hard on to shut it down. When people say, "If this sub goes away I'm leaving reddit" they are being honest. Many have already left reddit and only look at it in horrified curiosity.
Sure, it's true that young people are coming to reddit...but flourishing conversation there between people who disagree is gone. The admins have conversation and work with the old guard of powermods, but they initiate no conversation with any of the mods on the right leaning subs. Now the powermods that they catered to are demanding REPECK and for the admins to cave to their demands. Reddit deserves this.

Agreed, reddit deserved it the moment they thought they could possibly turn a profit off ad revenue if they only sanitized it enough.
They look at the crowd they attract, and how easily those users part with their money on OnlyFans, Funko Pops, Disney+, and Uber Eats and think "Why can't we get in on that action?" And it's because reddit exists as a platform for the consoomer to find places to spend money, but not as a place to spend money itself. And no amount of $100K NFT mirror ball snoos will change that.

Conservative moderator experience: (jannying for free) Log onto reddit. See 93 things in modqueue. Go "WTF". Go to modqueue and see that people have mass reported every submission on the subreddit as "misinformation" and a bunch of the comments, too. Find zErO actual incidents of "misinformation" that deserves to be removed. Repeat for months. Go to modsupport and make a well constructed post asking the admins to please reconsider "misinformation" as a report reason because it is vague and gives the reporter a plausible deniability that they are abusing the report button. Ask them to maybe consider making it "Covid misinformation" if that's what they want to crack down on. Have the post get some traction. Get a reply from Bardfinn saying, "Maybe you shouldn't have so much misinformation on your subreddits." Consider getting a VPN and ten alts to spend an hour a day reporting everything on subs Bardfinn mods as "misinformation" so he can actually have a taste of what you go through. Decide it isn't worth your time. Have several other shitty lefty powermods come into your post to comment about how you mod conservative subs and should expect it since your subs have so much misinformation. Think, "At least I tried."
Check mod support a week later and see that some lefty powermod has made a post asking for admins to remove the misinformation report reason and see the same mods that tried to shit on you chiming in to say, "This is a good idea. It really is being mostly abused."
Think: "Frick everything about all of this. Reddit isn't even enjoyable to post on anymore. I'm done EVER buying any more reddit awards. I respect the people I mod with and will continue to mod, but if I get kicked out of here I'm never coming back." Get suspended from reddit. Have a blissful week. Don't even appeal. Find out you got unsuspended from reddit. Come back and janny. Finally get suspended from reddit... freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!
