No, because you can keep using it if you disagree with its creators by simply using a different instance, unlike if you disagree with Spez on Reddit.
You mean Spez, the former mod of r/jailbait/, right?
He was added as a mod as a joke (mods can mod anyone without their having a say in it). The guy is cunt enough without misinformation though this one’s been doing the rounds a long time.
I helped moderate a couple of mid-sized communities and users had to actively accept moderation appointment, but maybe that was only true after a certain date?
Yeah I’d guess that was probably after this incident haha. Definitely was early enough days in Reddit when this happened. I opened my account on there a long time ago (13 years maybe?) and thankfully the only thing I really remember about the jailbait sub is it getting banned.
The very same
Ewwww
Wait what? Is that for real?
Not truly - see other comment in this thread (he likely was not aware that someone had added him, as iirc he had made zero moderation activities, and early on in Reddit anyone could add anyone else as a moderator without their permission or even knowledge).
It’s disinformation that people continue to spread bc it makes spez look bad, although it’s not like there are not many more VALID reasons that spez sucks.
You can’t keep using your account on lemmy.ml if you disagree with their policies.
Lemmy the software is different from lemmy.ml the instance. They are both authoritarian in nature but the latter to a far higher degree than the former.
