    Power mods. Many of the ones who ran Reddit’s biggest subreddits like iBleeedOrange and Awkwardtheturtle were major assholes.

        You got anything more about that last one? I’ve spoken to most of these power mod assholes outside of reddit and I haven’t heard a thing about that

            Any chance you can summarize the video? The way that girl speaks is incredibly annoying to me

            Edit: also, I’ve weirdly never heard of the user they’re talking about. I thought I had interacted with almost all the main power mods and power users, but apparently not this one. This has nothing to do with the conspiracy, it’s just something I thought was interesting

              I wouldn’t be able to adequately and fairly summarize it. The mod being discussed probably spent more time posting new threads than posting comments, but was the first to reach 1 million karma, remained top 10 karma until 2020ish and is still one of the top ranking by karma even though they haven’t posted anything since 2 days before Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest. This person isn’t someone I ever interacted with either, even though they were a powermod of many of the top subreddits.

      Awkwardtheturtle makes my blood boil. Though I suspect this is deliberate, which makes me angrier.

      The fact that reddit admins never did a thing was disgusting.

      It’s be cool to have a limit of how many users you can moderate at once. Basically, you could moderate several small ones, or a few large ones. This would prevent a few people moderating all the largest communities.
