    lmao the sheer amount of entitlement on him. Truly a leopardsatemyface moment. Imagine tying your entire identity to being an unpaid lacky for a website that doesn’t give two fucks about you, to the point that when you’re let go you go nuclear.

      It always does make you wonder how these people have the time to actively moderate 100+ subreddits without any compensation. That is, unless there are some under-the-table deals that we don’t know about. I think moderators have been caught taking bribes before.

      Powermod of over 1000 subs. Permanently online. Bans users for no reason and posts inflammatory comments and pins them in threads. One example - Do you remember the r/Art drama where the artist got her art removed by a mod who said it was AI art (it was not) and berated the artist for her style? Yep, that’s awkwardtheturtle.
      Basically the worst of the WORST of reddit mods with no life outside of reddit.

    I love how the majority of comments in this thread have a single downvote. I wonder who’s doing that 😂

      Unlike Reddit, you can see who “reduces” (downvotes) comments and threads. In a comment click on more -> activity -> reduces. Yes, it is all the same person.

      Because you’re literally browsing a magazine about that other site?

      I agree that this particular mod getting banned isn’t directly related to the migration efforts, but the overarching drama it’s connected to is the main reason people are leaving Reddit for Lemmy. IE: admins becoming hostile towards moderators, developers, and redditors, resulting in an environment that the whole userbase is trying to flee. So even though I don’t care about this “power-tripping asshole mod” (as another Lemming described him), I get how some people here might find the post useful and relevant.

        Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he’s finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related
