They removed the mod (our admin) and are reopening it to stamp out the blackout movement. I‘m not going to go there at all, this is going to be a lobotomised version of r/piracy with some reddit employee or a spez loyalist scab at the helm—no thanks!

True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.

Got perma banned for calling him Andrew Taint and his subscribers paypigs without the sexual gratification lol. Last time I got banned for referring to myself as retarded when I lost my ass on options

I've seen former thedonald mods trying to get their hands on major subs from the admins.

r/wallstreetsilver is now just the_donald / consoomer neo nazi sub. reddit is falling apart

Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening

Who did they replace the mod with
