I like it, enjoy it for the most part and am glad it exists. But the politics comes off a bit weak and tips sometimes too far towards the self-congratulatory ethno-centrism of bad early 20th century anthropology.

Los Locos kick your ass! Los Locos kick your face! Los Locos kick your balls into outer space!
They did the same to me, I was the top moderator and creator of Animalsbeingderps and Amsterdaments, and had 10-11 years of almost daily content and discussions, I was in general quite outspoken about conservatism and racism on reddit, and the IRL cultures that breed these types of mentalities. I was also pretty active on vaporents which was in nono territory for a while. First all of my alt accounts were permabanned, then the first time I made a comment on lemmy against reddit’s actions with this account, my main account was also permabanned. Bloody priceless.
Reading through this again I think it wasn’t clear: I was the top moderator and creator of those subreddits and was permabanned across all my accounts by the admins.
Yeah, I made a comment about the decline of reddit here on lemmy and that day I was permabanned. You can see it’s the first comment I made here. I had previously run into some other problems and literally all of my alt accounts had already been banned, and I couldn’t make any new accounts. I was pretty outspoken and always ready to have confrontational conversations about fascists and racists, which I guess I was too volatile about. I was also very active on vaporents, which also seems somehow connected to all this as it seems problematic for the IPO. All of this is why I was already pretty miffed at the shithole it was becoming. I think I’ve been pretty anti-reddit for a while, and I guess I was on “thin ice”. Another funny thing is I had also just been interviewed for a small article on boredpanda about the animalsbeingderps subreddit as its creator, and very soon afterwards the other mods over at animalsbeingderps sort of pushed me out at reddit admins’ request to demod mods who don’t mod enough (which was honestly fine as I wasn’t much of a moderator). I had my mod privileges taken away and was relegated to “Alumni” status. My main interaction with the site, other than commenting and posting, was that I would start a sub based on a silly/less silly idea, and then make a ton of posts to kick-start them, then if they grew a bit popular I handed them over to other mod wannabes as I moved on. Anyway, good to finally vomit all this out somewhere.
Edit: Grammar and clarity.
That’s great. I was the creator of subreddits like AnimalsBeingDerps and AmsterdamEnts among others and was quietly permabanned by the admins. I’m just too tired to do anything about it honestly, but it feels pretty shitty.
Edited for clarity.
Honestly I hadn’t even considered it until this moment. But I don’t think I have it in me anymore. Though I do hope that it exists at some point. Lemmy could do with more cute animals.
