It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.
This person is a meme
In those messages you can see all the stages of grief, minus acceptance, play out over the course of 1h20m.
Just shows how there is no "correct" side in this story. Awkward being a terrible power-hungry mod on one hand, and Spez deciding to prioritize on profit over community and usability on the other.

This kind of person is the reason why I decided to mod one specific sub. Because I saw the shitshow that one person can make on a sub when going on a power trip. Once the dust have settled I'll give it to someone reasonable who wants to do it full time.
You should be cautious if one of the powertripper we have now is the admin of a sub you like. I think the max I've seen was 40~60 subs? What good do you think can come out of it?
btw, as someone mentioned, he is fuelling his own fire on /m/politicus, making it a rageclick fest all over again. This is the reason why I left reddit btw, because all the subs slowly turned into a rageclick show.
When you mod you set the tone, if you don't want a mirror of reddit then step up and set the tone yourself.
This is what it looks like if your only way to power trip and the only thing you have in life is being a mod of reddit and it gets taken away by your beloved corporation.
What a sniveling little jackass lmao.
Fucking hate that guy, he’s run his filthy mouth long enough.
Hell yeah, for once reddit did something good
Is turtle just copy/pasting replies they've previously received from users they banned for whatever dumb reason? It literally reads like any of the threads I've seen complaining about their moderation.
To be honest, I'm kinda okay if this powermod gets unbanned - as long as all the folks who got permabanned without reason also get a fair hearing to get unbanned.
Now do the mod of r/redditgetsdrawn. They’re so quick to ban it’s ridiculous!
Haha I think that's the only sub I was ever banned from.
They had nuked a thread for some reason, and I wrote something like "I stand here in solidarity. Bring it on." And then was banned lol
I was banned the first time I commented. I said a photo someone uploaded was lovely (not a top level comment). I got a 30 day ban immediately. I messaged back, apologising that I had missed that rule. The mod said “no arguing with the moderators” and then permabanned me. Wtf?!
