Well now, what do we have here? Caught in the act and no gold to pay the fine
this is my new favorite bit account.
This one mod really does a disservice to the whole instance. They’re at the center of so much bullshit. Even their own users seem to think so. I don’t care if it’s intentional or not; wrecker behavior is wrecker behavior.
we learned the hard way that banning wreckers is the only option. they will have to learn the same in just as hard a manner.
Casual capitulation is the root of right wing dominance. They’ll learn.
What am I gonna do, sure they’re a nazi but I don’t want to kick them out of my bar.
It called to mind the article “misogynists make great informants” from back in 2010, in the aftermath of an informant revealing themselves in Austin.
Cw: misogyny, sexual violence, fbi, informants

Not a 1:1 relation, the details are very different, but I think there are some notable similarities in one or a small number of people can be at the center of a problem, and other members of a group shielding that person leads to break downs.
I’m not sure if we could have reached a detente with Blahaj, but it’s disapointing that it came down to one abusive mod on a tangential comm to kill federation attempts.
I worry that the narrative will become that this mod of this comm was THE problem, that the mod will be decided, and that people will be unpleasantly surprised when that doesn’t fix things. Maybe no individual person will believe that exact series of events, but you know how narratives develop online.
That said, I DO think support demoddng, but that’s not my call to make, so….
That mod banned me for the following where I quoted them whilst replying to them
“I’ve also never called anyone slurs!”
Say the line Bart
“I used a semi-slur”
reason: Im done with dealing with this stupid controversy
I’m done with being reminded of what I did minutes ago 😤
I hate it when my own words are quoted to me in the mildest of meme formats after denying I said them and downplayed my shitty ableismDoes this person also mod the main subreddit? This is basically exposing the culture internally in the reddit modteam if that’s the case.
oh my god they’re now claiming it was someone else on the mod team and that they’ve been given a stern talking to. this kind of shirking of responsibility is
I’d rather square off with literal fascists than these

“Nice try tankie, but that ableist mod wasn’t me. It was another ableist mod on the mod team. Feeling owned yet tankie?” - Moss
“that mod’s name? oh, you wouldn’t know them, they go to a different school.”
They’re in Canada, Quebec I think
Why would you just lie about something that is publicly verifiable in the completely public modlogs?
Inexcusable behaviour and untrustworthy on top.
the same reason that libs are still libs in spite of overwhelming evidence against them
vibes trumps evidence 100% of the time
trumps
proof that hexbear is made up of rightwing 4chan trolls
pass the blame onto another member of the team and hope no one calls the bluff
They’re va*sh fans, and he has taught them that lying is cool and good. All that matters is that you “win”.
If you know you’re not going to be demodded by the admin, then why not?
They claimed they had originally posted the DM to “survey the users” but I saw it before it was scribbled and it was the exact same mocking tone.
same. they’re just covering their tracks now that there’s a backlash.
