  Crazy how a mod tried this on lemmy and everyone just went to a new instance.

  Users began protesting by posting the word “print” under random submissions, leading moderators to lock down all r/Art posts—disabling comments, awards, and new submissions. External platforms also took notice, with X users highlighting the subreddit’s sudden lockdown.

  On November 26, the drama reached its peak when r/Art moderators announced their resignation with a simple message: “You win. We all resign.”

  Good: leeches all.

  The post received over 23,000 downvotes. According to reports, the head moderator removed all other mods in what some described as a “power trip.”

  Classic reddit moderator cringe.

  From what I’ve heard, various mods were literally forcibly removed from their position and the mod having a temper tantrum basically ended up trying to loop them into his delusions. Assuming it’s true, sounds like this person wanted to take down as many people as they could with them in some petty game.

  Can we keep this shit on c/reddit ?

  Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him

  • starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    A lot resigned because people were mad over the ban. The analogy would be more like a politician resigns after everyone complains about their policy.

      I heard it was just one mod who kicked all the other mods and then went on to post that it was a mutual decision. The other mods had no idea at all.

    It was the work one exactly one person. They locked the sub, and the moment someone else unlocked it they kicked all other mods and themself and made it seem like everyone was following him when it was not.

    You are thinking about this from the perspective of a normal person, not someone who is sad and pathetic enough to do something like this. These people are most likely deeply disempowered IRL and being a mod of a large subreddit is probably all they have going for them so they are way too invested in it.

  So does anyone know what the actual phrase was that “mentioned” the prints?

      making mods anonymous was such a mistake

      mods like this should be able to be harassed endlessly

      I say this having been a mod of several subs
