A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

      Have you ever listened to an argument — perhaps it was generously titled a ‘debate’ by the participants — wherein each and every manoeuvre attempted by either of the participants amounted to little more than the attempt to assert one’s ego, show off one’s supposed knowledge and dominate the other in a flashy display of rhetorical proficiency? These are the debates to which we can barely listen for more than ten seconds without rolling our eyes and beginning to tune the combatants out, because this is precisely what they are: fighters, in the ring, trying to barbarically destroy the other person for personal glory and the vindication of a childish sort of rivalry founded on the belief in the superiority of oneself. It is, in many ways, rather pathetic to witness.

      what? of course im fighting to win, because i have the technical skill to see how nostr is better than activitypub.

      obviously you are fighting to protect your fragile public image, to keep your stupid followers, who lack the technical skill to see quality.

      your rhetoric:

      • “everything is fine”
      • “its complicated”
      • “that other thing is shit”, “misguided”, “wishful thinking”
      • “i dont need to convince you”, “i dont have time”, “ask someone else”
      • you ignore fundamental problems like vendor-lockin, abuse of power, the overblocking of free speech that you call “moderation”

      all in all: a perfect reddit moderator, but definitely no alternative to reddit. as i said, just “more of the same” reddit abuse-of-power mainstream bullshit. byee!
