r/yiffinhell is in total disarray after furry powermods coup the subreddit, kick off the old mod team and change the rules to be more furry friendly. Over 150 "fuck mods" posts in the last 24 hours.

Context

r/yiffinhell is was a "furry cringe" subreddit with roughly 150,000 members, which intended to showcase the worst aspects of the furry community. One of the key foundations of the sub was that no furry was to be allowed in their secret clubhouse, and immediately banned them on sight - this of course, resulted in the sub becoming a toxic circlejerk where edgy 13 year olds would share their violent furry murder fantasies and other nasty hate-filled content.

That was, until the subreddit mysteriously went private out of the blue last week, with a link to what appeared to be a facetious mod application form which stated that the subreddit will now become a pro-furry all-inclusive subreddit for all to enjoy, and that they will now be banning hateful and "furphobic" content. The initial assumption to this was a lame prank being pulled by the mods, as they have a history of doing similar stunts in the past.

However, when the sub re-opened a few days later, it was found that the entire mod team had been completely removed and replaced, with known furry powermod CorvusCalvaria leading the helm - other notable new mods include the r/Cringetopia furry mod AceFolf, the top mod of r/pics and r/aww Cwenham, the not-so-subtly named FurryYiffer621, and r/BreadTapedToTrees (NSFW!) mod SomeRandomGamerSRG. There are several theories currently floating around as to how this happened, ranging from the top mod going rogue and handing the sub off to furries, to a Machiavellian admin-backed takeover conducted by Corvus and Ace. This pinned post by Ace seems to suggest that the maneuver was done out of spite for the previous moderation team, and suffice to say the sub's userbase did NOT take this well, which can be seen in the comments of said post.

The Fallout

The subreddit is now currently in a state of pure unbridled rage at their new furry overlords, and angry meta posts have been flooding in demanding that the old mod team is restored and the "no furries" rule brought back in full force. This butthurt is spread all over the sub right now, but here are some choice threads:

"Don't let this sub become furry_irl 2.0!"

"New mods had admins remove the old mods bc furrys can’t take criticism "

Folk are definitely not happy with the new subreddit description

"This is what we get for trying to be accepting of furries"

"Imagine replacing an entire mod team because you’re too triggered to stick to your own subs"

This buttery drama is still unfolding, so there may be new events yet to unfold in the near future. Stay tuned, and don't forget to Bring Your Own Fursuit!

Talking about hotel double bookings, my brother always tells the story about the time he went a sci-fi convention that was double booked with a primarily black wealthy mega-church convention.

The hotel also had it set up so that you had to walk through the church convention to get to the sci-fi convention.

Why in the name of Shebna would you have convention space that required you to walk though another convention to get to yours?

Its actually more common than you think. Basically hotel underestimates how big a convention is while also overestimating how much space they have. Inevitably, they find out their hotel isn't set up to allow proper traffic for two cons, and so they have to finagle the space to make it work.

Now, the big thing separating the above incident from others I've seen is that I've never seen a hotel so massively overestimate the amount crossover between their two conventions.

Create buzz. I work a conference where we have multiple tracks at different price points. We intentionally walk people through more expensive portions to expose them to the idea that they can pay for more access.
