That makes sense. I know that when I was active on reddit I was way snarkier. Still comes out occasionally but it was just a lot more common. I do remember having to specifically limit myself when I first started posting to not get removed towards people for no reason. Kind of disappointed in myself there. I’m glad that’s at least paid off in people think I’m kind. I’m really not but I appreciate the compliment <3

Those protests really did demonstrate just how bad things had gotten. I don’t think I remember anyone ever casually discussing what was going on. I remember commenting once saying how the Spez was a mod of Jailbait thing is overblown because anyone could be added as a mod at that time without them having to accept it, much like how Lemmy currently works. I was added as mod to /c/Gay in the same fashion. Someone just added him and he didnt realize. Downvoted to high heaven because it wasn’t pure bashing of him. There are so many things to hate about Spez and that situation but I’m gonna stick to ones that have some weight.
