      Because you’re literally browsing a magazine about that other site?

      I agree that this particular mod getting banned isn’t directly related to the migration efforts, but the overarching drama it’s connected to is the main reason people are leaving Reddit for Lemmy. IE: admins becoming hostile towards moderators, developers, and redditors, resulting in an environment that the whole userbase is trying to flee. So even though I don’t care about this “power-tripping asshole mod” (as another Lemming described him), I get how some people here might find the post useful and relevant.

        Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he’s finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related

          Of course they’re claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it’s the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.
