@XxTriviumxX i'v left automod configured to remove most spam, anything that gets reported more than 5 times, and post a stickied comment onto every post telling people where the mod team has gone. those comments get downvoted to oblivion, and i give absolutely zero fucks whatsoever. my job is done.

i'm from australia. australia is a federation. this country is made up of six states and a number of territories. the six states are all still legally distinct entities with their own individual laws that do not impact residents of other states. to be able to be part of a larger country tho, our different states need to comply to another, higher set of rules that are decided by our federal government. it is theoretically (but not legally) possible for a state to be ejected or to leave the federation in which case they won't have to comply to the federation-wide rules any more. for example, the country of New Zealand has had a standing invitation to join the australian federation ever since colonies on the australian mainland started talking about declaring statehood and then joining up in a federation, but those smart bastards have always told us where to go and where to tie our horse up when we get there. the fact that they've literally always had better conditions (eg women being allowed to vote and own land) might have something to do with it

kbin wasn't federated yet when we jumped. as far as i'm aware i made my kbin account like 6 hours after federation, because i did that as soon as i heard that there was a different UI

what's its' name?

lol yeh they came after one of my subs ... that i had made public a few hours ago. i'm going to leave programming in automod that tells people where the sub's new home is

@ernest your achievements with this piece of software is going to go down in internet history, i hope you know that. you have already written your name into the history books. you deserve congratulations and very sincere thanks.

no, i think of a weird-shaped elephant with ginormous tusks that curl almost into a circle

i'd be happy to help you out with that if you would like someone from a different timezone than you. am australian so is awake when most of the rest of the planet sleeps

not as far as i'm aware. i know about discord servers (that i'm not a member of) where discussions are happening, but as far as i'm aware the majority of planning is happening either in the protest-centric subreddits or in this magazine right here.

i gotta admit, there has been a lot of arrogance and a lack of consideration of consequences by lots of people involved in this on all sides

nope. with the amount of time they've been down there so far and the volume of space inside the thing, they would have exhaled enough CO2 to have all at least lost consciousness if not suffocated

@xuxebiko this is a decision of the entire board of directors

@Gamers_Mate

yikes, fuck that. i mod my subs because nobody else is willing to, not because i have any fucking desire to do so

he'll get axed before the company goes public and they'll put some nameless suit in the role instead. i rekon calling out the entire corporate section might have been better, but then again huffman was one of the three founders so i dunno

yep, looks like the admins are now overtly taking action and stamping their authoritah

exactly the same way that catman does

the only reasons i'm looking at my reddit window currently are to check modmail (one of my subs is currently restricted but i'm accepting requests for member status) or to check r/modcoord and r/Save3rdPartyApps and other protest subs. i made a promise to the subscribers there when i took control of it from being unmoderated, and i'll keep that promise to them until the end of the month, but i'm also going to leave quite a bit to remember me by, namely i'm going to configure automod to at least attempt to get rid of most of the spam as well as make the sub effectively unable to be monetized. would rather fly under the radar until that's in place tho

hahaha yeh i certainly have passion about maintaining places for other people to do stuff. it's something that runs in the family, so i suppose i can't help that. also one of the reasons i would like such a document is so that i can link to it on the subreddits that i currently moderate to attempt to convince more people to drop that fucking hellsite lol

you know what tho? that document will have much more value as a historic account than it will as a persuasion tool for exiting moderators. it's the sort of thing that the askhistorians magazine will be answering quesions about in a couple decades.

so it's more than just r/mildlyinteresting. there's also r/TIHI and r/interestingasfuck and r/shittylifeprotips and r/illegallifeprotips and r/self

looks like the admins have decided to start their campaign in what they seem to believe is a war

yep, the entire 22-account (i think) team at r/mildlyinteresting got booted about half an hour or so ago and now the sub has an advert to ask for it in redditrequest

personally, as one of the people who has come over from reddit very recently, i don't really see it as being my place to comment on it and at any rate there are many other people saying the exact same as me anyway. screw zuckerberg, he doesn't deserve to share in what other people have built here.

watch guardians of the galaxy part two and try to convince anyone that he's not an important part of her life afterwards. it'll be impossible.

just because he ain't her father, that don't mean he ain't her dad
