Damn. They’re just trying to wreck shit

Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

This is second hand, but still funny as hell.

So, I modded a sub. Nothing big, less than 500k users. Decided to go hard after the initial blackout protest and set the sub to restricted, and approved anyone willing to throw in a “fuck spez”. I was planning to bring on new mods and get them set up in the last week before the 1st. So, I get the two best candidates in, and let them know that the sub would be crazy, so just hang back and watch.

Wellll, I did warn them about it, including the part where I said I had mentioned to some offline friends that the sub was a free target. These guys have nothing but time, and zero qualms about posting things to justify being set to nsfw.

We’re talking herpes infected assholes being posted as portraits of spez, piles of feces done that way, etc.

Well, one of the new mods didn’t quite understand what I meant and not only removed the posts, but banned one of the guys. Now, this guy had a regular account and a porn account. So, he’s posting from both.

Now, I undid the ban within minutes. But his main account gets a suspension for ban evasion, and his porn account gets a permanent ban for the same.

He sends a little “fuck you” message as the appeal, just to walk away with spite. But, despite the fact that his account wasn’t even banned at the time, they denied the appeal.

It was pretty hilarious to him, and me. I wish he’d screen shotted the messages and posts though.

For a few days there, the entire group of folks were posting some brutal shit. They all ended up getting “this was removed by mods” bullshit message, but they’d message me and I’d approve the posts anyway. Reddit still removed half of those, and one account got banned for harassment of spez.

It was the way reddit and their fake accounts acted during all that, that made me change my mind about the sub. It’s set private, and won’t change until they force it back open, because fuck them. The automod is set where almost everything just posts a mini rant about spez.

The sub is essentially dead now. It’ll never come back the way it was. Which sucks, because it was a fucking great sub. But with reddit being shit now, it’s better off dead than fumbling along as a zombie version of itself

Only a double handful of people have ever heard it (and known it was me), but I do a passable kargyra, the deep version of tuvan throat singing. Watched Genghis Blues many years ago and tried to do it. Surprisingly, I got it after maybe ten minutes of trying. I can do the other forms as well, but not quite as reliably.

It’s strangely satisfying to do. But it’s some I really only do for my own pleasure, so it’s rare for me to do it when other people are around because they get all curious about it, which ends up as an interruption.

However! I did do a song with a band where I did it on a self written verse. Local band, they do their own records and such. But I did two songs with them, that one where I did the kargyra and the chorus in metal growl, then another with just the growl.

So, people have heard it, but don’t realize that it’s me. I’m credited as “background vocals” (under my real name, so I can’t/don’t disclose the band lol). They’ve sold maybe a thousand discs and downloads of that album total.

They usually play my part as a recorded track at shows (the one with the kargyra is a highly requested track among their tiny fan base), but they did a local show a little while ago and my buddy that fronts the band called in a favor I owed him to get me to do both at the show. So I got all dressed up in black, braided my beard, did corpse paint, and wore a fucking cowl and did it!

I hate crowds. PTSD and such. But it was almost fun okay, the performing was fun, but I was kinda shaking by the end of the night from too many people. I dunno if anyone was fooled (im kinda distinctive looking overall), but nobody has said anything if they weren’t.

Cinnamon almost exclusively. But sometimes plasma.

You don’t. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You’d have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

No, no he isn’t.

Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool

Preach!

Can we cut down on the removed about posts about reddit dying? I get it, nerds are angry. But it isn’t a big deal, they have only been here three weeks. *THEY NEED TO HAVE TIME TO GRIEVE, WHICH INCLUDES META CIRCKEJERKS AND SERVE A CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE BY LIMITING THE removed MOSTLY TO THOSE POSTS.

Splash in puddles

I cum blood.

I’m not bragging, that’s the name of the song

Nope, a “moon” was a single cycle of the moon through its phases, which is closest to a month out of the units we use currently.

While you can ignore that and use the word however you want, and it’s definitely possible that people have done so as a form of word play to indicate shorter units of time, it does have a usage that’s been around for a least a couple hundred years in English, and way longer in other languages.

The word month comes from moon, and in other languages, the words for month are usually also derived from their words for moon.

In English, the way the word evolved, a it was the period of time from one “new” moon to the next.

Many moons, as a phrase, came from a native American term that was used to express “a long, but undetermined time ago”. It isn’t exclusive to any specific peoples, nor only to native Americans, but the English idiom version came from a translation from a native speaker

Trade is, however, a similar term for “a long time” that’s used almost exclusively an an exaggeration, “a month of Sundays”. In a literal sense, that would mean approximately 30 Sundays, obviously, which isn’t even a full year, but it’s almost always used to express a much longer, but unspecified, time frame.

I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It’s a recipe for a race to the bottom

And, if it isn’t maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team’s time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.

Whoa, whoa, we can’t have effortposting like this, you’ll screw the grading curve for the rest of us

Misty.

Damn that girl was big.

But, damn could that girl fuck!

What’s your problem with beans? Are you a bean hater? You best step off my bean-bros, bro!

Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I’m with you :)

Word!

It’s coming along nicely so far. I can’t say that it’s got enough users yet to reach critical mass to displace discord, but it has the potential to
