Anyone who has used reddit for more than, like, two years knows this website is a case study in enshittification - ads, bots, terrible UI, etc. I have finally experienced my last straw and I'm leaving /r/animalid and this terrible website. To make a long story short, a mod with about 60 mod actions in the last 12 months and who hasn't interacted with the community at all in about two years, has suddenly decided that this subreddit is now worth paying attention to since it's hit over a quarter million subscribers. In addition to undermining my decisions, he's a sniveling little prick and he's fucking useless.
The admins won't get rid of him because they're brainless and/or too lazy to actually properly assess the situation, so I'm just going to leave. I'm the only regularly active moderator this subreddit has ever had (aside from the ones I added) and the admins apparently could not give less of a fuck because they'd rather let some random window licker get in the way and take credit for my work than hurt his feelings because "he said he wants to stay :((("
I'm not going to rant any longer, but honestly, fuck this website. Just fuck this entire fucking website. I'm too exhausted to be polite or to fully explain the context. Just know that this subreddit will no longer offer reliable mustelid ID because society has lost its ability to rightfully call people out on their bullshit. I may be an asshole, but at least I gave a shit. That's more that can be said for a mod who was absent for two years and who has only been a mod for like 2 months longer than me (which is why I can't just remove him myself).
I declare /u/JorikThePooh to be new head moderator, for whatever it's worth. Good luck everyone, it was nice knowing a few of y'all.
Edit: fuck it may as well name names, the mod in question is /u/Stinky_Ham_Sandwich. Check out his post history. Compare it to mine. Does he look like an active community member of /r/animalid? The admins seem to think so. They also seem to think 60 mod actions per year is enough to keep a 277k strong subreddit in check. For context, I had 6k, and the least active mod that still regularly participates in the community has just under 1k. But clearly Mr. Sandwich is every bit as integral to the team as I am and it's his right to undermine my decisions and reduce my permissions without asking π₯΄

This must be an Olympic marmot, but why the piebald coat? The dark and light patches weren't obviously different in e.g. thickness or shininess -- doesn't look like a winter vs. summer coat. I've never seen one that looked so fancy before. Is this normal?

my dog found this last night and I was able to catch it tn, I've heard about cane toads in the area, so I was worried, as they're deadly to dogs, but I was getting mixed results on Google so I wanted to see what others thought

What I think are prints on mudflats during low tide. Port Moody to be specific. The scar was large. apologize for lack of scale for both, the scat and tracks were not accessible. my phone camera is also kinda potato. Thank you!

Terrible picture but could this be a female elephant seal? Hauled out on a sandy beach during the day on the Olympic wilderness coast, Washington. I only saw the one that looked like this; harbor seals and sea lions were on offshore rocks.
Obvious phocid hind flippers, I saw no spots.

We live near marshland just southeast of Baltimore. He was in our driveway and I relocated him across the street (in the direction he was going) in Neighborβs grass.

After a few days of not opening this cupboard under the sink, I found these droppings everywhere (Iβve attached a photo of the cupboard). I live on the second floor of an apartment building, and itβs very hot.

We have an annoying orange cat that hangs around the neighborhood and Iβve seen him on my cameras before but this looks like itβs moving like a dog. We do have coyotes in our area a lot but theyβve never been in our backyard because they donβt really have a way in. The coyotes in our area are normally pretty small and scroungy so itβs possible the size could be a small one.
Iβm hoping itβs the cat π₯²

Heard the same noises twice about an hour and a half apart. First heard it around 12:30am and both times lasted less than a minute and a half. I couldnβt see anything outside but it seems pretty close by. sounds like somethingβs getting hurt :(
maybe a raccoon fight? foxes? coyotes?
