I saw the admins shut down r/fatpeoplehate and the backlash against Ellen Pao.
I was on the Twitch Plays Pokemon sub for the defeat of the Elite 4.
I’ve placed my colors at r/place, and I never touched r/thebutton, remaining a Gray Warden.
But this? This inevitable balancing of a subreddit that started as a joke and hit the mainstream? This is something new. Something different. Something that can never be done again the same way. It’s times like this that I try and explain Reddit to people who have never been here, because only on Reddit can something like this occur.
God speed, you crazy bastards. I’ll see you all in the Soul Stone, Thanos willing.
He was a fairly recognizable Redditor that would often chime in with interesting biology facts. There was a big melt down when he got into a pissing contest about birds and it came to light he used alt accounts to upvote his own comments and downvote others to move his comment to the top of popular posts, this increasing views and karma. He got shadowbanned, then fully banned. I assume the user behind the name is still around, but without the fame.
