    To be fair, that was back when people could add any other reddit account as a moderator to a subreddit without their knowledge. Still, I think he was still listed as a moderator when r/jailbait was banned, which if that is true is entirely inexcusable.

      They were 100% aware they were hosting a “not technically child pornography but we’re going to use it as child pornography” sub, but there’s no subreddit degenerate enough that they’ll ban it while it’s profitable.

      For those who don’t know, look into the Creator of that sub. It’s a crazy ass conspiracy type thing. Google Lake City Quiet Pills (link goes to a video from Nexpo on the subject) to go down a wild rabbit hole that somehow includes that sub. No child shit or whatever but it’s hella interesting.

        Ah, I remember listening to the story of LCQP on the Chilluminati Podcast

          Theories of the Third Kind has a good one on it too. Haven’t heard of that one I’ll check it out.

      Can’t you do that on Lemmy now?

      I say that as someone who now apparently moderates a Sims community on Lemmy.world

        Yes, you can appoint anyone as moderator and they’ll be none the wiser unless they happen to look at their own profile page. I think the target must have comments/posts on the community first but not sure if it can be bypassed in the backend.

          That would make sense. I was one of the only people posting there

        Hmm… not sure. That’s interesting. On Reddit you can be invited and you have to accept, but not sure about Lemmy.

      Why be fair to Spez?

      He wasn’t fair to his userbase.

      Treat people as you would like to be treated they demonstrate they treat people.

      Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn’t the point of that be to… moderate it, so that it didn’t have illegal content?

      Not vouching for “legal jailbait” or anything.

        I never visited that subreddit, so I have no idea of the actual content. I don’t know enough about the situation to be able to post more than I have without completely making stuff up, and in those situations its smarter to not say anything.
