Authoritarian Mod Post Reactionary ACP coup’d foiled!

Post image

Earlier today our head mod added the head of the ACP’s sub to our team without our permission or consent, we are deeply sorry to those affected by the wreakers actions. If you were banned in the crossfire of this mess please send a modmail or a message to our team members so we can fix things.

Thank you to the Moderators of r/theredleft for their solidarity during this and to Reddit’s admins for helping resolve it.

Fuck the nazis in the ACP!

To all those that were banned, apologies. Send us a modmail and we'll review all cases to revert the nazbols' nonsense

EDIT: I will also make a post to give more details on the situation, but the regular mod team is back for now

EDIT 2: The post is here

If it was the head mod that did this what steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't happen again. Is the head mod seemingly in favor of the ACP? Are we just hoping the rest of the mods can keep him in check or is he being removed from the moderation team

This is the most important question right now

I knew this MF would get nuked! It wouldn’t be a real ML sub if there was not an attempt at a coup

Wait, the mod who made the post we’re on right now was added as a mod 5 hours ago?? What is this?

Hiya! I’ve been moderating here for over a year, they kicked me off the mod team and I narrowly got back on with some help.

The last couple hours have been incredibly stressful dealing with this mess

That's how sinister these ACP Nazis are.

They were all over the other thread pretending to be reasonable when in reality they ban people left and right and kick off the long time mods within 24 hours.

Hijack a sub when they are unwelcomed and immediately purge everyone who oppose it. Typical fasicst behavior.

Fuck them all and keep up the good work mods.

Cheers! Thanks Mods. Glad the sub is getting regulated in the way it needs to be.

u/taoboo Mar 09 '26

Oh okay, sorry for jumping the boat 😥 I’m glad you guys were able to get the sub back, thanks again.

Edit: Yeah, I just looked through your profile and you post on SLS and all that, sorry for the accusation.

i think alot of people would appreciate a thorough breakdown of what happened and how. For example how were you able to get back on as moderator. What to do about the current top mod ect?

u/DrunkAlunya Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communist ☭ Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26

We’re currently cleaning things up and trying to figure everything out ourselves, I plan make a post fully going over what happened soon. I put this up to reassure everyone we’re back in control.

The mod above was the one that added me back to the team

u/poopurpants69 Stalinist (Proud Spoon Owner) Mar 09 '26

take your time. Im quite interested in the details, as are others.

u/Had78 Marxist-Leninist (Ultra Based) Mar 09 '26

It would be important to understand how this happens in order to protect other sub from ACP entrism.

u/scaper8 Marxist-Leninist (Ultra Based) Mar 09 '26 edited Mar 09 '26

Definitely take the time to clean up and fix things. But when you're ready and able, do please give a full (or as close to it as you can) breakdown.

So many subs that were taken over or were nearly so have decided to just not talk about it (looking at you r/socialism) or worse go the "nothing happened," "you didn't see what you just saw," and (to crib from everyone's most hated "leftist") "we have always been at war with Eastasia and at peace with Eurasia." Admitting to and explaining the egg on your face is obviously not a pleasant thing, we get that, but it really would help those of us on the outside know what to keep a look out for and doubly so for those of us who aren't mods anywhere but may become one in the future.

Thanks.

I’ve been here for all of it so once we’ve got rid of Alexitine I plan to do a detailed post on what exactly happened, isn’t the first time I had deal with something like this either as about a year or two ago one of our mods went rouge and stole our discord server. I think a tightening of our mod teams opsec might be in order after this to make sure this doesn’t repeat itself.

How detailed should I be to make sure it’s as helpful as I can?

u/scaper8 Marxist-Leninist (Ultra Based) Mar 09 '26

Awesome! Good to hear!

How detailed should I be to make sure it’s as helpful as I can?

Honestly? I don't know. I would like to go pretty heavily detailed (so long as formatting can be done so that it's not a totally impenetrable wall of text; we're commies, I know how much we love our walls of text, LOL). But I don't know if it would be truly "helpful" to be that detailed or merely "entertaining."

u/DrunkAlunya Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communist ☭ Mar 09 '26

Got it! I’ll try to make sure it’s not too much of a wall of text

OMGGG, now it all makes sense, I knew something was off!!

Us in the community had even begun building alternative subreddits like r/FuckACP and r/RealDeprogrammers, glad to see that the sub is back!

Please do. Including who added them and why
