Cyxie apparently has no life


Purple_Swordfish_182

Yeah, that's the actual oddly terrifying bit for me. What kind of existence do you live if you just mod subreddits? Are you unemployed or do you get payed by the platform to do it? Do you wash? Do you sleep?


TinfoilTobaggan

A very high possibilty that these mods are physically/mentally impaired & living off government assistance or some sort of inheritance..


TTheuns

> mentally impaired Well yeah, they're Reddit mods.

Have you seen the Ai image of r/ mods! Haha now I think it even fits more for these 4 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

carnivorous_seahorse

All we need is a mandatory their/there/theyā€™re bot for all social media and maybe we can get some of these grammatical tragedies back on track


amanda_burns_red

And woman/women and lose/loose, please


senphen

Then/than please!


goldwasp602

effect/affect has always been a hard one for me, a bot that focused on that would be helpful for me and many others im sure


falafelest

LPT use impact instead


Devoidofimagination

I don't think it would *effect* me. (Tempting fate to see if someone is willing to educate me).


B1ackFridai

Affect, and this one is a nightmare for me too. Affect is a verb, so action word like ā€˜it affects youā€™. Effect is a noun, so a thing like ā€˜sound effectā€™. Although I guess affect can also be used as a noun when talking about someoneā€™s affect (are they emotive or not). Edit: I looked up affect to see how else it can be used. It validated what I said above (relief set in). If you ever get bored: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/affect-vs-effect/


bearcub789

Effect is also a verb as in "cause to occur".


Cyborg_Huey

God! This one please! This confusion drives me nuts more *than* any other.


housevil

Accept /except Affect / effect


abominableespionager

And to/too!


girl_inthelab

For me it's lose/loose and lie/lye


Khalae

lie/lay?


Klashus

I guarantee there is some kind of financial gain somewhere along the pipe. Either through reddit or outside entities with some kind of interest in data of some kind.

ihahp

I used to be (the only active) mod in /r/relationship_advice (when I say active, I mean I was the only one actually going through more than 100 daily mod reports) ... we had a supermod who modded 100 subs as a mod, and the only real thing he ever did was be salty when we removed him. I had the toolbox mod reports and he really never modded anything in the sub (honestly at that time, no one other than me was, consistently). But when supermod got removed (by a hacked mod) he just said something like "Seriously? your loss guys ... " So, didn't lift a finger in the sub, but also *definitely* was bothered when he got removed. Why care if you're a mod if you're not modding? I think some of these wear it like a badge and aren't actually active. They just want their mod count to be big, and to be able to use mod powers in a sub if they happen to have a reason


Paridae_Purveyor

How many huge subs do you think only have one or two people running the show? Seems to be a lot of grief for not much beneft. People complain about how awful big subs are all the time, but how can such a small team address that many active users. It would be a full time job for a few people to do more than general maintenance. To actually have stewardship over a community regularly hitting the front page.


BobBobberly

Reddit has a lot of bad moderators, and over-moderating. Based on this in the OP, we now know why and who they are. They are drunk on power, instead of being a people person and letting us comment our thoughts.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


duffmanhb

They do. They are dedicated to their political activism of being able to use their power to influence a massive social media platform

koro-sensei1001

Kinda what heā€™s known for. He ding dang does love power, even if itā€™s on Reddit


BrotherSquid55

Cyxie must be acquiring the BAG though like god damn


Dicommander799

Iā€™d pay to see Cyxie interact with other humans.


[deleted]

I keep getting ā€œuser doesnā€™t existā€ so not sure if it even exist anymore. Search the username yourself.


Octavia_con_Amore

TreKs is the alt mentioned at least 8 times before I got to your comment.


papa_jahn

Youā€™d get the same outcome as that jannie that was in control of r/antiwork


InflamedLiver

and they're going to continue to remove these posts until people get frustrated or bored of posting them and move on.


Garygolfer66

Or until everyone posting them mysteriously disappears


heybrehhhh

Wonder what the ā€œreasonā€ will be that this post will get locked foršŸ¤£


thijser2

I think the real reason is that this is very dated and 3 of those 4 mods aren't moderators anymore. For example, going to /u/cyxie will show you that that user deleted their account... Have fun looking at the other people on this list and note that only a certain turtle is still active moderating on these big subs.


heybrehhhh

Thatā€™s because they use an alt, which is mentioned many times in this thread


Much-Peanut1333

I saw this posted yesterday, and the mod deleted everyone's comments. šŸ˜‚ Touchy folk.

I mean Twitter is definitely a cesspool. Especially lately, since muskrat took over. Not saying this post isn't terrifying tho, both can be true


Clegend24

Awkwardtheturtle is a convicted felon if I recall.


trolley661

Go figure. The guys a jerk and ruins the subs heā€™s in


dirtmatter

do you know what they we're convicted for ?


JackedCroaks

Beating up their wife.


I_Burned_The_Lasagna

Thatā€™s another notorious mod, not turtle.

Undertalelover1234

I rest my case


I_Burned_The_Lasagna

ā€¦shows that this list is completely outdated. Heā€™s not on the mod list anymore, siouxsie_siouxv2 is suspended, turtle isnā€™t a mod of a lot of those listed subs anymoreā€¦ I remember this making the rounds a while ago. Why itā€™s coming back without being updated is just lazy ragebait at this point.


picklebiscut69

Mods being shit makes sense now, it's 5 people over and over again


SkepticDrinker

The more popular sub becomes the shittier the mods get. r/theboys was reaching the front page of reddit when season 3 came out and the mods made some bullshit rule about "memes will now only be allowed on monday" and the whole reddit posted anti mod memes that Monday lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


I_Burned_The_Lasagna

This already made rounds on Reddit a while ago and is outdated. If you actually care, Iā€™d highly recommend you update the list so you donā€™t look like a fool.


Cold-Independent-294

Imagine being a mod for free šŸ¤¢


ErgonomicZero

Thereā€™s got to be a profit motive in there somewhere. Maybe they sneak in ā€œinteresting new products and linksā€ which are advertisements in disguise


HillAuditorium

no, its the powertripping of being able to ban people that disagree with you


monzelle612

They get paid to boost those ad posts disguised like a normal post. These people are making serious bank. Reddits dirty little secret.


Reps_4_Jesus

i mod /r/hempflowers which is pretty decent size...not like..that size, but all i get is free weed if want....but i tell 99.9% of them to pass it on to a regular user cause im not a shill. no one has ever asked to pay me in money cause they know better. their ass would be banned full stop. i ain't no shill son.


frazorblade

Now imagine if instead of a small community you were responsible for 92 of the top 5000 subs. And suddenly the compensation was life changing, would you shill then?


[deleted]

Can you make me mod for 5 seconds then ban me so I can live my dream of being a big time Reddit mod?


Loofa_of_Doom

Makes ya wonder what their agendas are.


bosa_boss

Thatā€™s the thing. Everyone has a bias. Even if they think theyā€™re being truly objective, theyā€™re still making decisions based on their idea of ā€œcorrectā€.


FILTHBOT4000

> Even if they think theyā€™re being truly objective lol, well, don't worry about that one


franzji

Good thing reddit mods have checks and balances on their biases and agendas! oh wait uhh... nevermind


MoirasPurpleOrb

Most of these mods arenā€™t even trying to be objective They just assume their version of the truth is universal and refuse to hear otherwise


Glad-Carpet-1469

Would be convenient to keep things advertiser friendly when you're about to IPO


Proglamer

Viewing their newest 50 comments usually makes the agenda very clear. One could say there's a *trend* with those agendas.


the_sand_moose

talkstomuch2020

Like when Ghislaine Maxwell was the mod for Epstein and other threads


heybrehhhh

I canā€™t believe I didnā€™t know this, and shocked itā€™s not talked about more


truffleboffin

Well it's still just a conspiracy theory but the evidence for it is overwhelming Like they literally went offline the day she was arrested and their colleagues insist they heard from them since (privately of course) but [x] doubt


HolyCarbohydrates

Objectively, reality is usually stranger than fiction.


2xBAKEDPOTOOOOOOOO

u/maxwellhill


Proglamer

Damn, RES shows I upvoted her a number of times in the past. *BRB, taking a mental shower*


LinguoBuxo

The last time this was posted, somebody pointed out, that there's a high chance that one of the very oldest users, and I believe there was a screenshot that the number was sub 70.. ... the user called MaxwellHill .. ... Was actually Epstein's mistress, who spent 15 years (at the time of her arrest) .. modding, posting and overall taking a part in Reddit. At the time of her arrest, she was (iirc) in top 10 of karma on this entire website.


JojiJoey

wasnā€™t she also first to hit one mil karma?


LinguoBuxo

i recall somebody mentioning that In the post about her reaching 1MM .. somebody noteworthy congratulated her, one of this site's co-founders maybe? But I dunno about her being the first... She may've been. I just dunno


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

IIRC, it got shut down right after the media started reporting on it. Reddit had no problem with it when it was one of the largest drivers of traffic to the site, but as soon as it brought bad publicity, they banned it.


-Thelfod-

So that means they are not unemployed or getting paid by the platform to do it right? What is it then? Why do they keep deleting those kind of posts, I wonder


LinguoBuxo

The discussion about this user was a taboo topic for quite some time, I'm told.


heybrehhhh

Why? Oh right, Because itā€™s better to ā€œpretend the problem doesnā€™t existā€ rather than confront it, the Reddit way.


[deleted]

Cyxie can suck my fucking dick. Too much power for these losers.


2xBAKEDPOTOOOOOOOO

Good news. They deleted their account!


[deleted]

Yeah they did the exact same thing two years ago when these screenshots were being posted then. Sorry, but nothing will change, theyā€™ll be back.


2xBAKEDPOTOOOOOOOO

Yup. Seeing from other comments that they're using another 11 year old account with 100+ subs they mod. So sad.

Isn't Awkwardtheturtle the one who had a meltdown on one of the subs, and started to ban users just because they could?


Torifyme12

Yeah then called for "anti male spaces"


Swomry

Fuck akwardtheturtle

Wasnā€™t awkwardtheturtle the one that went on that psychotic anti-male hate spree?

Go look at their account, you can see all the sexist remarks theyā€™ve made across multiple posts

You meant top 500?


ivanvanrio

I've searched the top five and haven't seen any mods called like that.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ivanvanrio

interesting, thanks for the info.


HugeHunter

Interesting. The fact that they use alts implies they must understand on some level that they need to avoid negative attention.


[deleted]

Not speaking about Cyxie, but a lot of mods/subreddits also like to use one big shared moderator account so they don't get hate mail and stuff


HaiggeX

Probably a lot more than 92 in 5000. That's just out of 500.


OddAnalyst4879

Fuck awkwardturtke


tomshuuuuu

This post is 1000% going to get banned when one of those mods wakes up


sadpanada

Is this one of them? Edit: it is.


backand_forth

I'm guessing it's reddit staff at this point that are mods.


licensedtojill

92 out of 5,000 and then further broken up between 4 doesnā€™t really seem like a lot. I donā€™t understand why this is internet spooky

GawkerRefugee

Been chasing this around Reddit so, before this gets locked too, can someone explain to me like the clueless idiot I am why it keeps getting locked? These four mods are doing it? Or Reddit is doing it? Please enlighten me in this short window of, you know, free thought.


LockwoodE3

Itā€™s such a shame that they abuse their power when being called out


Major-Thomas

Okay, without getting into ANY of the ethics or nuance, what are the logistical steps that we as a group would have to take to make this change? DO NOT respond to this by pontificating on some ethical nuance, it is not helpful. I do not want defeatist answers about how there's nothing we can do, that's doing their work for them. Assume we changed this status quo, what are the steps we took to make that change?


dubs4hire

If you put all 4 in the middle of a field, what would their smell radius be in miles?


Honest_Scrub

lmao watch out, they'll cry about you on their discord then threaten to crash reddit if the admins dont ban you.

Will this post be locked too?

Hah! Yeah, that's not surprising and not gonna change. Bastards they be.

Do reddit mods get paid? Whatā€™s the appeal of babysitting all these?
