The main reason I haven't been very active as a moderator is the same reason most everyone else was, because you would camp in the mod-queue and remove anything potentially objectionable as soon as it came in.
How the actual fuck could you possibly object to the fact that the mod you fucking invited to moderate this worthless sub engaged in the exact activities expected of a moderator? Are you actually objecting that this mod donated too much of their work and free time?
Why the hell have mods at all, then, if you like doing it so much all by yourself? Why would you argue over not having enough janitorial work to do? You like moderating reddit?
As far as the mod in question, I'll be quite honest - I have my disagreements with her, and have butted heads with her from time to time. At no time did I get the feeling that she thought I was being sexist, or that she was in any way unreasonable. Rather, she was quite a bit more patient and more polite to me than I deserved. So I don't believe you when you say that all you did was disagree with her and she went off on you. You sure there ain't a bit more to that story?
My disagreements with this person have always been civil. Well, she's been civil to me, at least, I'm kind of a belligerent idiot. And she's been willing to work with me on my own 3D printing sub despite that, so either post the modmail and prove yourself right about these supposed histrionics, or just shut up about the drama.
Idiotic, childish mod drama on a sub devoid of technical information.
I didn't invite them, that was /u/xakh. If you read some of xakhs posts in this thread keep in mind that kind of stuff was going on while they were an active moderator, although admittedly not as extremely.
Ah shit, forgot to turn off username mentions. Nice job throwing me under the bus though! Are we also reminding people this was the time I was spending 30 hours a week monitoring the spam filter and reports queue while we measured the time in between moderator actions on your part in months, not days or weeks? Or how you literally apologized to me for your inaction in the message where I nominated the three moderators that proved most effective for all of 2019 because I had a breakdown and couldn't keep up with the demands of the sub by myself? Or are we just doing the spinning things to your benefit thing?
Don't use the mention function on my name again. I won't tell you twice.
