This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

the nba sub found out mods were posting about the finals in the sub during the blackout, mods proceed to hide try to hide the evidence

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/14cbtjv/who_here_is_in_favor_of_just_replacing_these_shit/

this has always been my big internal conflict w/r/t the blackout, yeah corporate reddit sucks but the mods might be the least sympathetic group of protestors ever

i also think the blackout was a dumb idea anyways, I think if the mods really believe the place would turn to poo poo without them and wanted corporate reddit to see that I think it would've been far more effective to just resign en masse and let corporate reddit witness it first hand... but that would require giving up the power they've been wasting years accumulating

there was a mod on r/weightroom that did just that a year or two ago, for pretty much the exact same reasons. mad respect for that guy, in hindsight.
Yeah, the nba sub closing was dumb because it was the finals. Its like calling for a strike in the middle of christmas.

Then posting in the sub privately during the lockout just makes everything dumb. There's no reason to close and they should have just admitted it instead of splitting the difference.

To be fair, Tempe is six hours and a time zone away. New Yorkers would be pissed if someone living in DC was the solo admin of their sub.

Extreme right wing assholes claim the Minneapolis sub are run by leftist city dwellers when their posts get removed. Top mod is a rural gun lover*, another is a state trooper, and there are likely other rural conservatives modding the sub. Extremists are just mad they can't be openly racist and transphobic and blame the leftist city dwellers for their posts being removed despite the rules being written and enforced by a rural conservative.

that r/sandiego Reddit admin story is wild as hell. Who is this Arizona man, and why? Why this with his life? What is the end goal?

I dabbled in reddit in college and went to a half a meet because I left midway. The meet was held in the basement seating of an ok restaurant but the lighting was not great, and there isn’t much appeal in a “dimly lit Reddit meetup in 2011”. I kept my Reddit usage to lurking ever since, one of the few wise decisions in my life.

woah people sell their SA accounts? That's wild tbh, I guess if you're someone who's been permabanned it's one way around that? I guess Jeffrey is cross-referencing poster IP's though so it would probably be caught

that you could sell a reddit account that's decently old for 100$+ dollars seems like a pretty good way to get... some return on the time investment on the site
