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?

No idea. I also don't remember how I got invited there, tbh! Things got leaked pretty much the same day it started for me, so I'm under the impression it was pretty fast.

Why didn't you decide to sweep up fecal matter in a less pathetic sub than leotardsridemyface?
Also, how's the healthcare plan of your moderator job?

I choose r/LeopardsAteMyFace because I enjoyed the type of irony found there. Something about people wishing harm onto others only to suffer from that same harm was oddly satisfying. By modding it, I get to see such posts most days of the week!
As for my healthcare plan, it is being paid by my government through taxpayer money. Roughly a third of my salary is being deducted by the government and it finances everyone's healthcare, among other things. To be honest, I like it. If I had to pay every penny of healthcare I used all by myself, I just wouldn't be able to afford it.

I like the idea of medicare for all, but I don't see how it would ever be viable in the United States. It works very well for Europe and Canada, but that's due to their comparatively small sizes - both geographically and population-wise - I think. While the insurance system is a shitshow for a lot of people, I'm not sure what a better alternative would be. At least not one that would be palatable to the power systems in place right now. I'm a big fan of a model like -
Free healthcare for everyone, unconditionally. But:
BMI must be between 17 and 25. Probably include some stipulation about body fat percentage for the > 25 crowd to account for bodybuilders.
Must pass a drug test (urine or blood, depending on the cost of the service) before any appointment at all.
Drug test includes tobacco.
Failing a drug test, or any arrest for possession, results in a 2-year ban from this healthcare system. Insurance is available, though.
Free for all pregnant women and for 24 months postnatal mothers.
The nonsensical body positivity movement would take issue with this, of course. And so would the weed crowd. And so would the collection of incredibly offensive people who would call it racist, because they can't get it through their heads that being black doesn't predispose one to drug use. But it's an extremely viable and fair system that incentivizes healthy behaviors and provides even more reason to abstain from criminality. And there's no reason anyone should have to pay for Toothless Cletus' 3rd fentanyl overdose, or 250-lb-Lafawnda's Big Mac-induced triple bypass.
What does a European (or Canadian?) think?

By the same token, I don't want to have Bubbly Bridget's fifteen child clogging up our sewerage lines with a fat turd every single day because she gamed your shitty woke feminist healthcare system and doesn't have to pay a cent.

I think it should still be free to fat people, drug users and criminals.
It can even be used to positively influence people away from bad habits. When you go to the doctor (for free) and you're fat, they're going to tell you about your health situation. Same if you used substances and do an overdose, you're going to have "the talk" and be referred to mental health professionals. Same for criminals, you'll be put in prison. But you'll still receive health care as a human right.
Can it work in the United States? Yes, I am certain it can. The United States have a massive healthcare infrastructure and way too much of its income goes to "administration".
A cost-effective approach would be to nationalize all private insurances and merge them into one public insurance + nationalize all that juicy infrastructure. Citizens are pitching in through taxes and are automatically insured. Since that public insurance and infrastructure is not for-profit, there's no pennies that will be lost in "administration" and all costs can be driven down massively. That's not even Sanders' plan if I recall correctly, he wants to just extends "medicare" to cover everyone but keep the existing infrastructure in place.
Public healthcare even drives down the cost of private healthcare. In many instances, it's cheaper to fly to Spain, get treated here, do a tour of Europe and fly back to the US than just using the US' healthcare.

You could also just subsidize it, which is not only way cheaper but has almost the same result.
Sadly in the realms of burgerland using economic tools to solve problems doesn't happen, so you're just fricked.

Yeah, I think every mod in r/LeopardsAteMyFace is kinda tired of the COVID-19 death news. It's pretty grim. We haven't found or settled on a solution to improve things on this side. We're just, like, unpaid Internet janitors, man.
I don't plan on overstaying my welcome though. I'm pretty happy with my daily dose of r/SubredditDrama, I don't need more!

Question. Why do you guys only make fun of right wingers fricking up but are quick to remove any content showing the lefties fricking up?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
The frick-ups have to fit the theme of the subreddit. There's plenty of room for left-wing frick-ups, but somehow it just doesn't get posted. And when there's some anti-left post, somehow it's always "black people bad", agendaposting, bad-faith takes or straight-up lies and it doesn't fit, so we remove it. If you actually find left-wing frick up that fits the subreddit, please post it!
One example I thought of was if you found someone that voted for Biden instead of Bernie in the primaries but then cries because there's no student debt cancellation or no universal healthcare, then that would fit.

Of course they start infighting and blaming each other when the admins tell them to kick rocks lmao
They keep comparing their little power trip to the Aimee situation, whilst completely misunderstanding that:
a) P-dophiles are pretty fricking universally reviled
b) The wider userbase also really wanted Aimee gone, and organically flooded the whole site with memes and demands of her firing whilst this is much more blatantly a janny astroturf

Of course they don't understand the "libertarian philes are pretty fricking universally reviled" part. A bunch of them are libertarians themselves. They're probably still confused why everyone was so upset she was hired in the first place.
