This is the first time in about 15 years that he will finally see the sunlight.
Considering that this is the most hated person on Reddit other than spez himself, no tears were shed.

Unfamiliar with the person. What's he infamous for? What sort of chodelicious behavior defines him to you?
Here's a post from 2021 about this person giving some background. I recall even a change.org petition requesting them being banned.
Also, you might recall them for making the news recently after banning an artist from /r/art because they said a piece by them was made by AI, and when proven otherwise they said that it was obviously based on AI and that they should find a better style, which escalated to the point that the sub was temporarily closed
Seeing that person going down is a nice piece of justice in this shitstorm. It happened for the wrong reasons, admins should have removed this person long ago and didn't, but at least it's something.

Among other things, this happened 2 years ago.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't understand at all. What is in the picture? Books? Why can't men make books?? Locking the comments? What is rule 6? I can try to infer what may have happened, but people are both very sensitive but people are also very shitty so I don't want to just guess.
The mod stickied a sexist joke and then locked the thread because people were calling them out on being sexist
I don't think it was the initial comment, nor the rest of the context which was so terrible. It was pinning it as a mod. And then using misandrist insults to justify a mod action.

I looked him up.
They mod 726 subreddits.
I don't think he's going outside, he's screaming into a pillow 24/7 in a nest of greasy fast food bags.
Imagine how valuable his account can be. You can single handedly guide the narrative by yourself.
Somebody posts an article that Teslas keep catching fire? Delete that guys article from world news, from local news subbredits. From engineering subs and tech subs.
Oh, there is a rising post on the frontpage but it's from the competition newsletter? Delete it and post the article from my sponsors website.
100% there are people willing to pay a powermod for some shady businesses
No dude 100% this, this has been an open secret that if you piss off one of the power mods, even if you didn't break rules, you will be mass banned from like 80% of the top subs on reddit
Do you see how he's typing? He's so upset he got drunk lmao
Dipshits like this are the reason why moderators have such a bad reputation. Powermods in general are very controversial but this person takes the cake.
Delicious tears!
This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.
Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn't have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban "wasn't enough," they gave a longer ban so I would "learn my lesson."
Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.
you got banned for replying to a post someone else made in a wrong sub?
This mod was infamous for banning people from uncontroversial subs for the sin of commenting in subs they didn't approve of, regardless of content. Like if you made a comment in /r/conservative making fun of Donald, they'd ban you from /r/videos for being a Republican.
This couldn't have happened to a more deserving dirtbag.
If they were an "absent mod" as they self-proclaim, why are they so salty?
they want the power, not the work.

I'm 90% he's the one who got my 10 year old account banned for "harassing mods" because I asked why my account got banned from his sub, when the message included no details on why I was banned.

What if this person comes to Lemmy or kbin and becomes a mod...yes, I'm asking the inevitable question.
Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.
Reddit wasn't like that all the time. I do remember a time on Reddit where it was - or at least felt like it - a bit like it feels on Lemmy right now. Lots of nerdy outsider communities and admins who seemed to care. Not trying to be a negative nancy here, just a reality check or something like that.
Federation is over-hyped when joining or promoting. It's only really important when there's a problem.
It's like trying to sell a new car by featuring the warranty, or trying to sell a computer by talking about backups. Both important, but not a shiny selling point for new users.
I get why the devs want to feature federation. If you build a car, you're probably going to want to talk about the engine and its design. But the users just want "car go fast".

I'm having flashbacks to the times I got banned for the most ridiculous reasons. Sweet fucking karma, goddamn!

This is historical moment. Permban a mod when they are asleep like a true dictator would
Does this guy type by beating his face against a keyboard? You would think a power mod on a site as large as Reddit would have more than a sixth grade education.
Probably shaking because his entire life revolves around being a reddit mod.
Imagine being this fussed over it. Jesus christ.
Holy shit , 😂😂😂
It's beautiful, like a firework in a tire fire.
I'll drink to that.
I love a good redemption arc and their future is looking bright with potential!
What will a Reddit mod do when they can no longer mod?
He's gonna burn in the sunlight
I usually don’t pay attention to mod names, however, this name wasn’t an odd one to me somehow.
Then I tried to search for the name as I remember seeing in the past that a handful of mods owned 90% of the subreddits.
Bumped into this and now I know this mod was one of them.
drewiepoodle is their main Reddit account, the mod account awkwardtheturtle is her alt

Oh no, permabanned out of nowhere for interacting with a subreddit at some point in the past, that must suck.
I've totally had that happen in the last year, more than once. In one case it was a sub I never visit, for visiting a sub they consider dangerous, three years ago.
ahaahahahaha what a disgusting loser
