Reddit Meltdown: Moderators in Arms

[New Grestin]

nah

Ellen Pao is going to be held up as the Feminazi Fuhrer for quite a while I'm afraid, and this is just an example of opportunistic feminist hateboner rants thrown into the bonfire.

Ellen Pao being a feminist is irrelevant.

That said, it doesn't exactly help her case.

[Alyakia]

Man, that took, like, what, less than 24 hours before the Asian stereotypes started rolling out?

Besides, she's more like Big Brother than anything, not Mao or Kim Jong Un.

her name rhymes with mao and north korea is a go to example of censorship/bad analogies. it was always going to happen.

[Costa Fierro]

But you can't really tell them that. Those people are so self absorbed, they have their own gravitational fields which attracted even more self absorbed people so it ends up forming a black hole, where nothing except the sheer blackness of hate, vitriol and "my opinion matters" the only thing visible as all logic and sensibility is sucked into the unknown realm beyond.

The weird thing about it is, I was damn sure Tumblr was going to go this way much, much sooner. The sheer amount of "special snowflakes" orbiting around the red giant of self-importance surely must have reached critical mass by now.

You can either shut down the black hole, or do nothing/little and let it swallow up the site until it is nothing but a few mentions in the footnotes of Internet history. I do not think we can shut down black holes, so there is the other option.
Maybe miracles can be worked.

You mean rewriting the book of Internet thermodynamics?

It has nothing to do with feminism though? The neckbeards of reddit are mad because Pao is ruining their favourite website to shitpost on

There should be a series of 10 Reddit Commandments. "Thou shall not shitpost" should be one of them. "Thou shall not covet the poster above's karma" another.

I'll just wait and prepare for the moderator-admin civil wars to spread to other sites.

Like Nationstates.

the end is nigh, my brothers and sisters.

Unless max Barry dies and is replaced by a Sociopath, then I doubt it

[Alyakia]

nah

Why not? I think it's hysterical.

A prominent Anti-GG member decided to try and tie this to GG, and in the process we discovered that nope, he's a fan of anita sarkeesian and such.

Suddenly, that prominent anti-gger decided that it was irrelevant and not important. Like you're doing.

No no guys, hold on, I think you were right the first time, this seems important, right?

because GG/anit-GG is annoying and you should keep it to your own thread wow some asshole 95% of the people in here have never heard of said something on twitter

Even meltdowns on NS are cuter. Does anyone else remember that? Sometime earlier this year or late last year? Because I could swear some minor shitstorm happened where a couple of big users left but I can't find anything about it in my posts and I'm not about to use the Search function because I want to retain my sanity. Didn't even dint. Strong as ever.

do you mean when a bunch of people made a secondary forum? because there are two major incidents that fostered it and neither of them were minor. there have been a few shitstorms though so it's hard to tell which you are referring to.

I have no idea, sorry. I think it's that one. I come and go in drifts and waves every few months or so. This time I'm trying to stay. If we are thinking about the same thing, it's probably fair to call it minor in the sense that this Reddit debacle is 'major'.
What were the two causes, incidentally? Was one something about the mods looking into telegrams? If so, that's the very same.

GG is a good example of the Reddit mentality. "I don't give a fuck what you think, it's special and it means EVERYTHING so shut up and listen when I rant about it!"

That wouldn't end well. It would just be a bunch if edgy people saying "fuk da rools"

I think the moderators on NationStates are very fond of what they do, when they don't have to worry about rulebreakers.

Redditors have had it in for her from the beginning. I can't help but get the feeling this is because she's a woman and (worse) a feminist.

The difference between Max Barry, and Ellen Pao is that one has ascended beyond corporeality into deism mostly living the created beings to run the place while Ellan Pao is not the original one, but merely a ruler of the Cosmos. Imperfect, and heavily unpopular they rule with a fist bathed in the souls of gold stars on a throne of subreddits amongst the corpses of the fallen.

In his house in San Francisco, Max Barry waits dreaming.

Soon, the stars shall be right, and we will be delivered unto salvation.

Ia! Ia! Barry Fhtagn!

That and Max keeps them in a state of semi-permanent inebriation.

[Benuty]

Apparently Voat is overloaded with people attempting to cross over from Reddit, and as a result I cannot see what it is.

Max Barry is Australian.

It's like the internet version of refugee flight in the midst of war.

It's a reddit clone, it's almost exactly the same. It even looks the same.
