    To be fair, I would imagine that this event had some rule about not advertising in the chat in the ToS or stream rules fine print somewhere.

    And as much as I dislike Steve and Reddit, I agree with Reddit on this one. You (or anyone else) shouldn’t be abusing the chat of a competing service stream to advertise a different one. It is not the place for that and is rude. Please do not give existing Reddit users reason to believe all Lemmy users are rude rule breakers.

      I am not complaining. I was there to make fun of Spez and I don’t care if I was rude. If they think Lemmy users are any different than Reddit users they are delusional. There is all types of users here and there.

      I doubt they have delicate fee fees or feel feels or whatever. I don’t care whether they even care that I was banned, all I know is my ban from Reddit is a badge of honor and proves I can get under other people’s skin. You always know you’re telling the truth when it makes people angry enough to ban you.

    My lifetime ban from Reddit (which resulted from saying that we need a more progressive political candidates in our country) was a badge of honor, proving my opinions to be correct and undigestible to fascists. So I had a medallion engraved with my date of expulsion which I keep in a place of honor over my fireplace.

          I actually got banned from Facebook for posting about getting sick on my birthday, saying I hated being sick on my birthday. They replied it was “hate speech” and so I was banned for a week (!).

      Being banned from somewhere doesn’t prove you right or wrong. It just means those particular people are angry at you, rightfully or not.

      Just a subtle reminder because fascists and nazis themselves regularly use such kinds of phrases. Doesn’t make them any more right or honorable.

      Do what is right, and always strive for freedom, and you’ll be good :)

        My ban from Reddit proves I was right - you know you’re right when it makes any group angry enough to ban you. In the same way, books are truthful when they get banned for daring to speak the truth.

        I always do the left thing (not the right) and achieve my freedom by not staying quiet or bowing down to fascists.

          Not really. If you say Hitler was right, or any of the myriad of other terrible statements you could make, and you get permabanned for it, you’re still wrong.

    Yeah redditors can do that too, it would probably look somewhat like this:
    Come to reddit, we have CEO who’s an idiot but controls everything, a 100% closed API unless you pay exorbitant prices to use it, and we have advertisements everywhere, but WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY. So please come. We also have sociophants and trolls.

          Your source admits Spez was a jailbait mod. MAYBE he was made one without knowing, but he DEFINITELY could have removed himself and didn’t.

          Spez was a jailbait mod for years. That’s a fact.

            btw I actually might be helping you attack him better

            Instead of a spurious claim he actively managed a pedo sub—

            —a more definite claim he permitted a pedo sub to remain on his site? (Assuming he was aware of the sub, which I bet you could find indications of)

              He has repeatedly permitted awful subs (jailbait, altright, the_donald, incels, braincels, etc) to remain on the site far longer than reasonable. Once these subs generated too much negative press they would finally be banned.

                lol I doxxed one of the_donald mods to the FBI after Jan 6th, they used to advertise and gloat about a bunch of their “business” stuff on the site, and registered their LLC to their home address. Clicked on a link they shared, highighted and searched the LLC on Google, clicked on registered address and streetview and there’s a shitty car plastered in Trump stickers in the driveway. Never doxxed them anywhere publicly or did anything bad with their addy until I had a legit purpose for it.

                  It amazes me how plain idiotic people can be a out the information they hand out.

                  Tldr: fuck executives

                  I have insomnia and Recently I was rudely awoken at around 2am by a VERY loud jet engine.

                  Now my county does have an airport, but it’s nowhere near me, and it’s for small aircraft only. There’s a military base that uses a huge section of the state for training, but that’s almost exclusively in the daylight, or for a few hours after it gets dark, and they never get this close.

                  Well, I pulled up flightradar, and sure enough a small personal jet took offa out 10 minutes ago, and while their flight plan should have had them mucb higher, they were veryclose to the ground. I called the sheriff non emergency line to complain, since it was 2 IN THE FUCKING MORNING and apparently they had already recieved a number of calls from people between me and the airport.

                  Then I looked up the company that owns the jet. It’s a smallish company that does aero things, and pulls in tons of money every year. Public, private, and military contracting from what I understood, supplying parts or something like that.

                  Their board of directors is listed on their website along with corporate HQ. Their board of directors also ALL use LinkedIn, with their work addresses, emails, PERSONAL email addresses for quite a few, and one even had some personal mail visible to anyone who stops by their profile picture. Almost all had other social media connected. LinkedIn was also helpful in identifying who was probably flying the jet, too, since he really likes talking about his pilot license.

                  Social media confirms a few were active within the last hour, and in my state.

                  With this info, the flight plan, the LinkedIn info, and a little guesswork, I was able to narrow down the occupants of the jet to 5 people, BCCd all their work and personal emails, as well as the general company email, with a 5 paragraph email about proper etiquette when flying over populated areas, as well as FAA laws they were breaking by flying so low, a rather sleep deprived rant about how they’re assholes who think the world should come to a halt for them, letting them know local sheriff department is investigating (lol no the fuck they aren’t who cares if a few people got woken up), and that I am reporting their violations to the FAA. And ended it with a request to follow proper altitude guides or flying at a more reasonable hour.

                  And around 5am I was finally able to sleep for all of one hour.

                  When I woke up it dawned on me that I had gotten annoyed by a jet, tracked down the occupants, and sent them an angry personal email, found out their home/work addresses, and could do much more damage if I wanted, all without leaving the comfort of my bed.

                  I immediately started scrubbing all my online profiles… I still probably talk too much about the area I live in.

              As an engineer myself: if I was ceo of my own social media company, I’d periodically go through my account at a fine-grained level and see if there was anything weird going on. Hell, I’d probably use some internal APIs and webhooks or whatever to track and categorize my profile’s interaction with the network at large.

              I find it unlikely that he had no idea about this.

              Considering that Spez is the one who controls the mod logs, he could show that he was made a mod instead of invited/accepted and was inactive. I don’t have access to the evidence. Spez does.

                Brushing up on the “proven ways Spez sux” file would surely provide more than enough back-pocket fodder to pull out when there’s a chance to drag him :)

                I’m a stickler for stuff like this, e.g. someone complains about mythical reasons corporations or governments are against us and I wonder… why risk opponents being able to prove conspiracy theories wrong and distract from legitimately awful/criminal behavior! There’s so much of it!

                  I doubt law enforcement would allow records from r/jailbait to be scrubbed completely, especially mod logs and mod chats. That’s a source of evidence to build cases against predators, even years later.
