I just got permanently banned from r/latestageimperialism for calling one of the head mods a :fedposting: lmao.

I've also been banned from r/moretankie196 because of a dumb bit where I pretended to be a conservative and r/shitliberalssay for saying that someone posted something that was obvious satire and calling them dumb. And I got banned from r/latestagecapitalism and r/boringdystopia for saying that Jeremy Corbyn should have done a literal stalinist purge of the Labour party

      I'm convinced that there's something about moderating a subreddit specifically that will turn even the most mild mannered person into a complete asshole

        My theory is that this happens due to self-selection bias: moderating a subreddit basically boils down to doing a bunch of unpaid labour in return for a meagre amount of power over other people, so it generally attracts individuals who are willing to do a bunch of unpaid labor for a scrap of power over others i.e. petty nerds. Of course, none of this applies to our glorious hexbear mods :scared:

      That subs moderation is a complete dumpsterfire, I've literally seen people getting banned for the exact opposite sentiment

      It's impossible to know what's permitted or not at any given time
