r/dndmemes mod u/Dalimey100 is a fucking legend

u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as "LAWFUL STUPID" shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with "roll for persuasion or intimidation" if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.

You better give me a stealth check with disadvantage if you’re trying to sneak in here with that username.

Darn I was hoping I'd get a few more angry messages before someone noticed lol.

Glad to see you! Didn't you say you were the only mod on /r/dndmemes? That must have been rough. Hopefully your stay here or wherever you end is goes well!

I'm not the only mod, there's a solid group of who chat regularly in a discord, but I am historically the most active (although spicythuder is doing amazing work, if this was a competition they'd be winning rn lol) and do most of the public facing stuff.

So how do you expect it to shake out, btw? Do you think if there's enough centaur cock on the sub they'll be forced to let you stay? Are you expecting to get demodded regardless? I'm deeply curious.

Sometimes I miss being able to gild comments

21

Agreed. I hope that eventually becomes a feature.

You miss giving Reddit money? Interesting.

Well it would be a nice way to support Lemmy besides voluntary donations. You`d pay the Lemmy-Hosters and get something out of it that would be able to give back to the community (with gilding) at the same time.

I appreciate what you did, thank you for being such a legend.

For what it's worth, the admins won't actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That's why it says "private moderator note", it's a note only the mod team can see

(It's still funny, though)

You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol

Technically they have the ability to do anything there, whether they have dedicated tools to make it easy or worth while is likely a different story. Also heavily depends on functionality of the site.

20

That is correct, though there is a difference between deliberately editing comments in the database and getting pinged for a response. If the system doesn't tell or notify them explicitly that the person replied and they're not looking for a reply they just won't see it.

12

I just assume admins have access to prod databases and can run queries against it.

SELECT * FROM saved WHERE username = 'noodle';

UPDATE post SET link = "https://youtube.com/rickroll" WHERE username = 'noodle';

That kinda thing.

5

Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.

You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.

10

Admins even having the ability to disable replies on DMs is pretty telling.

Why are all those people giving Reddit money by buying awards for that post?

57

There’s a significant chunk of power users that have spare Reddit coins from multiple sources, not necessarily bought

43

Yup that’s me, never spent a cent and when Alien Blue shut down I received coins and some other shit. I didn’t realise for years that I could give awards 😂

I subscribed to Reddit premium before the whole clusterfuck. If you're on Premium you might have a big pool of coins to spend on awards even after you cancel it.

I actually like awards a lot. I think it's an especially reasonable idea as a tip jar for the people running an instance. I'd be happy to give a small recurring contribution to instances I like, and if it gave me the ability to identify things I really like I'd consider that gravy.

42

You could open an issue on Lemmy's GitHub for this feature. It sounds really interesting. The developers should be aware of such features and how many people are interested on them.

12

Reddit gives em out for free. I had a handful but just never used em.

13

The only content worth following on Reddit is this drama, and this post (being nsfw) can’t be accessed by 3PAs.

Admins dun goof’d. They got rid of the best people on the site.

42

Probably none. This is like a peasant trying to stand up to Lolth. I admire the lack of shits given in the face of a ban.

Absolute legend either way.

Aww Reddit keep plummeting that valuation you are doing great!

I still didn't get my blackmail on /r/mushing dammit! Got one for making it private. I'm waiting for the NSFW blackmail for two weeks now! What gives?

22

It'll come. Just takes a while because the admins are forced to use their own app with crappy moderation tools.

28

Yeah. it's not fair. We were promised threats, damnit! It's insulting to be ignored.

11

He did a week ago. It is the last thing I come back to reddit for, to be able to tell modcodeofconduct and spaz to fu#k off.
