I was a digg power user then transitioned to reddit when that all went to shit and my intended grift of making money through selling digg visibility disappeared.
I've run dozens of subreddits and still do although incredibly lazily like 99% of legacy reddit mods that have been in their positions for way too long.
I started the use of subreddits as hashtags via spamming /r/hailcorporate in response to every shill post on the site.
I even got a job in the game industry as an internet janitor too and have worked with EA, Ubi, Paradox, Sega and others. I firmly believe in that title for any online moderation and community management, all we do is keep things clean for everyone to enjoy an online space and ego in online moderation is a serious problem.
Ask me anything
Lmao that's essentially how they read me chatting with a client and using "??" and "!!" at the end of my sentences. I think the most egregious example picked literally from the transcript is "They are the same!!"
In response I was essentially like "Look, bud, if that's coming off as rude or impatient, I can't help you because clearly you're putting a shit-ton more emotion into my written text than I am." But they referred to it as stone-walling and when I said in response "I wasn't trying to stonewall!!!" it only gave them more exclamation points to shake their head at and use as an example.
This. Is. A. Micro. Agression.
