To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.
They were 100% aware they were hosting a “not technically child pornography but we’re going to use it as child pornography” sub, but there’s no subreddit degenerate enough that they’ll ban it while it’s profitable.
For those who don’t know, look into the Creator of that sub. It’s a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it’s hella interesting.
Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they’ll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.
I never visited that subreddit, so I have no idea of the actual content. I don’t know enough about the situation to be able to post more than I have without completely making stuff up, and in those situations its smarter to not say anything.
“A wise man speaks when he has something to say, but a fool speaks when he has to say something.”
I’m sure that sub in general was brought to his attention quite frequently, and I don’t see how that wouldn’t inevitably lead to him being made aware of his mod status. If for no other reason than simply that he would have likely had many occasions on which he needed to contact the moderators of it. Even if he mostly delegated that stuff, I just cannot believe he was completely unaware up until the moment it was banned.
You don’t really need to be fair to him; he deliberately allowed that sub to exist until it became too much of a liability to maintain it.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Ah, I remember listening to the story of LCQP on the Chilluminati Podcast
Theories of the Third Kind has a good one on it too. Haven’t heard of that one I’ll check it out.
Can’t you do that on Lemmy now?
I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world

That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there
Hmm… not sure. That’s interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.
Look at me, I am the mods now.
Why be fair to Spez?
He wasn’t fair to his userbase.
Treat people as
you would like to be treatedthey demonstrate they treat people.Do unto others as they do unto others
Exactly.
In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, believe them and respond accordingly.
Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn’t the point of that be to… moderate it, so that it didn’t have illegal content?
Not vouching for “legal jailbait” or anything.
