I never ran across that account but it blows me away that this article is two years old. In a way I hope that the account gets unbanned. I am not sure that kind of personality should have any reason to discover the Lemmyverse. Let it stay Reddit’s problem.
how tf do you even meaningfully mod 1000 subs? 2 is plenty
That’s how much reddit cares about you even if you did the job of tons and tons of paid employees.
Also: if you haven’t interacted with a sub in 6 months should you still be a mod?
The reason was not right, they should have been removed from power ages ago, but at least this collateral damage is a tiny bit of justice served at the end.
Ye mods on reddit ( and on lemmy ) should be at most Moderating 5 maybe 10 subs INCLUDING ALTS.
With lemmy, if someone is squatting a bunch of forums and moderating them, you can always start your own lemmy instance and start your own forum with the same title.
Hah, this is just so pathetic to read.
I don’t use the term “terminally online” often, but this is exactly the time to use it. Imagine being this desperate to cling onto your power over an internet forum, not even for the sake of the community, but for the ego-driven lust for wanting control over others on something as menial as Reddit.
Must be a shock to realize all this was in his head, and he was basically just a pawn to spez and everyone else at the top.
And not even a real internet forum with some connection to the world, like a forum for engineers or something, but just these generic cat video style forums that don’t really add huge value to anyone’s life. Your entire existence is to fill the 30-second void for people standing in elevators.
lol if there is one mod on reddit I am glad to see banned it is this one
If you’re moderating 1,000 forums, are you really moderating anything?
Could be if each gets like 1 new comment/post per week
they were a moderator of some of the most popular subreddits, so it was definitely more than that
Hahaha awkwardtheturtle is a horrible online bully, now they’re begging for their fake internet power back, brilliant.
Most recently they falsely accused someone of posting AI art https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/zxse22/rart_mod_accuses_artist_of_using_ai_and_when/
This person is a huge problem and has been for years: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/reddit-campaign-against-moderator-awkwardtheturtle/
We’re watching the public service that is the information superhighway be born and be killed in only a few generations.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fella… AwkwardTheTurtle famous power mod known to steal peoples posts, ban them and re-upload them.
I’m sorry, I do not feel bad. lol
Even power users do not like him one bit
Ahh beautiful. They care enough to become a moderator and then don’t do a damn thing for over 6 months, by their own accounting.
rip bozo.
No more powermods. Burn reddit down.

I thought he was moderator of a 1000 subscriber sub, not moderator of 1000 subs. That’s a different story.
It’s sad that power mods like Turtle have made many people think that all mods are like him.
The mods for the sub of a popular game I play are getting shit on for protesting against Reddit by people who think the mods merely want power. No power mod has ever put thousands of hours into creating free helper apps or maintaining a game wiki.
