The admins don't want users to form an impression that there are coordinated large-scale efforts behind the scenes to manipulate the site "unfairly." Reddit owes much of its (undeserved) popularity to the superficial image of fairness it projects, so the admins have to at least feign disapproval of widespread backdoor collusion. In situations like this one where the exact details actually leaked, the admins are forced to very publicly disavow and flex against it just to try to ensure users don't think the admins themselves were involved (if possible).

Yeah, there was some line in spez's response to the initial petitions about punishing groups that are trying to "manipulate Reddit." A lot of people read this as being aimed at the subs like /r/NoNewNormal (which I believe gets accused of brigading other subs, which is a standard complaint against all targeted subs), but I think the real reading is that it's a warning to the jannies that these sorts of coordinated protests are something that they may not tolerate in the future. If Reddit wants to go public, they're going to start to have to face questions about whether allowing activist moderators to dictate sitewide policies (ie. ban viewpoints that they dislike) is really in the interest of the company's bottom line. Other social media platforms don't have these issues - maybe there are alternative solutions to the powerjanny problem that should be considered.

Remember when everyone said not to buy masks, because it was “selfishly taking resources away from healthcare workers”, and then backtracked with “oops, our bad! Wear a mask—wear two masks!”

The one that will always stand out in my mind is everyone calling Trump racist (day ending in a 'y', right?) for wanting to close the borders then several months later, with hundreds of thousands now dead, asking why he didn't do more to prevent the spread.

Hi, jannies, we love you and fully support you privatizing all the subs you can get your greasy estrogenized hands on!

On a different topic - old image, but in 2020 118 out of 500 most popular mods were controlled by the same 6 (six) people.

I sometimes wonder if Reddit jannies relate to this song seriously without realizing it is making fun of people like them.

I keep seeing people say they do it for free but there’s no way that’s true. They’re providing their time and effort to the Reddit corporation. There’s no way they don’t at least make minimum wage, right?

i'm going to remind you that if you refer to our esteemed stalwart internet custodians as jannies, not ONLY did you engage in a transphobism, but you were also being classist on top of that.

Even worse, you're implying that jannies perform a useful service.

 

[REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]

The jannie civil war is the gayest thing I've ever seen. I feel dirty for even reading this adolescent bullshit. How do these faggots look themselves in the mirror?

Some of them are certainly paid a stipend by outside sources to push a narrative, but Reddit itself certainly does not pay its moderators.

Why won't all the non-pozzed subreddits just get a .win site and have their own admins?

Old image, so it probably got worse over time, but in 2020 118 out of 500 most popular mods were controlled by the same 6 (six) people.

Hey Jannies friendly reminder that most of us have reddit accounts we use to troll your subreddits. We do this for free just like you and our reward is laughter and yours is dilation. You will never be a woman. We have much more motivation to turn your own user base against you than you have to not to join the 41%.

Please come here to announce yourself so we can mock you more.

Yeah I got a weird email from reddit today. I don’t even know how they got my email.
It just says FrEeDom!
Wait. FED is capitalized. Oh I get it now

Truth be told, a lot of this powermod cabal don't do it for free. I know GallowBoob has been caught several times advertising for various corpos or activist orgs that want reddit's attention, and it's presumed that behavior continues to varying extents across the group. So they aren't paid by reddit per se, but a lot of them are getting paid.

Imagine the mentality of these people thinking their favorite subreddit being shut down temporarily merits the attention and time of fucking Congress

Stupid jannies. Congress doesn't give a fuck about r/hypnoporn being shut down.

These are the same damned people who both 1) wanted to storm congress on several occasions during Trump's presidency for various reasons, including Kavenaugh's confirmation hearings, border wall discussions, and so on and 2) openly mocked Trump supporters who proposed mass-writing campaigns to congress to demand recounts and investigations into well-documented election fraud.

i.e. they hate the very congresscritters they hope to appeal to and they mocked other people for trying what they're about to do to make that appeal.

Stupid people are really entertaining sometimes.

Some have Patreons for simp money, some like Trench Titty/MrBabyMan 2.0/GallowBoob actually get paid to promote shit (the famous "netflix" video comes to mind, when /r/drama called GallowBoob on his shit and the admins came to his rescue).

Reddit really needed to cap how many people can mod subreddits but now its too late. Its jannies all the way down.

Checked it out for myself and whoever called it a few pages ago was right. This is the top post on the subreddit at the moment.

Wish they had that same energy when all the gender critical and women only subs got taken down.

 

[mindlessobserver]

I would love to do a psychosocial study of the personality types and pathologies present in the minds of the people willing to be a petty censor on a internet discussion forum as a Hobby/Fun (do it for free).

I think the results would be FASCINATING

Most of them are troons. Like vampires, they never go outside in daylight and mirrors cause them physical pain.
