I was a founding member of glitch in the matrix. stayed for a few years before giving up because yeah...shit sucks and I don't have the right power boner genes to want to stay at some shit like that but....never in a million years did it cross my mind that I should be getting paid for this shit I went out of my way to do for free lol

If it was a paid position, most the mods would be gone since that couldn’t do as they pleased. The company would be libel for their behavior.

LOL that too. I was banned from...some big rage sub I can't remember...not actually /r/rage when a mod removed a post about a girl who killed live animals on youtube because she might get 'harassed' when the sub was full of shit like that. it was so obvious he did it because she was hot.

There was an entire new post about that drama and I called him a simp. He banned me and called me a pussy ass bitch before muting me so I couldn't respond.

simp.

Imagine a company running like that. lol That is why I think their IPO will fail quickly. It is just a cesspool of bots, weirdos and very little productive anything.

I never really used reddit much. I always found it to be idiotic extreme on both sides of the table. I am fairly moderate with a few hot-button issues, but I would have a beer with about anyone except Reddit mods.

The Reddit admins DO behave like that.
