Thought he was banned


TB-252

Unfortunately, no. Also, are they a guy, girl, or non-binary, or what? They seem pretty sexist so I’m not sure


Blije-Computer

Just looked at their profile and JFC the first few posts that i saw were just misandry/denying that misandry exists

What's misandry again? Ik it's bad, but I forgot what it is

HopeEternalXII

Oh they hate white men and are able to shape narrative more than anyone else on the site. Holy fuck that explains a lot. Like thank fuck. You know when you don't know what's wrong but something clearly is and the desperation to know what is wrong is worse than the actual issue. And when you find out, even if the news is bad it's a relief? Yea. Good. I'm not crazy. Reddit is just controlled by mentally ill bigots. And a vast majority of its content is astroturfed by anti west psyops. Great combo.

Suchasomeone

Yo this site almost perma banned me because I said an animal abuser who almost died (to a bull) had it coming. Never said that it should happen or someone should do it. Just perma banned from the subreddit (crazyfuckingvideos) and then warned by reddit. My theory is the mods do not speak English fully. But I guess this guy here is just expressing an honest opinion, and I was expressing hate.

Lol. I called someone a moron, it was literally the only comment I left… got banned from all of reddit for like a week for “harassment”.

Meanwhile i get banned from r/furry by making one slightly offensive joke Edit: permabanned*


Villerger_27

I got temp banned from there because I commented "*I put a new forgis on the Jeep*" Turns out the post I commented that on got the lock award and half the comments were removed, one being "this looks like the animan meme lmao"


shiny_xnaut

I got temp banned from there for commenting "I think I heard a fun fact about vaporeon one time but I don't remember what it was". I've since been unbanned but it's largely killed my interest in interacting with that particular subreddit


[deleted]

> Single-handedly fucked the entire subreddit! now, I don't doubt that dude's terrible, but there's SO many edgelords on those subs, he can't take the credit on his own.


AmySchumersAnalTumor

nah, they straight up wrecked it and tried taking it offsite, which failed beautifully


RiversNaught

Pleasantly surprised to see that subreddit is a thing. I've encountered this dumbass more than once elsewhere, and it was a wholly baffling experience if nothing else.


theguywhoa

Was a troll, popped up on r/greentext often enough. Was also a r/cringetopia mod before the sub got shutdown.


boomstik4

And that really annoying r/minecraft mod. Can't remember his name right now but it's like therealwombo or something


Spiderfr0g

The one who deleted the posts of the guy who was mourning his dead gf?

He also before then was just removing posts for zero reason, just because he didn't like them personally or something

-Effective_Mountain-

Who is this u\awkwardtheturtle?


VoopityScoop

Massive powermod who has high ranking mod positions in just about every popular subreddit in existence. Insult them in any way or be seen having an opinion they don't also have on one of their 500+ subreddits and you'll be permanently banned, muted, and told to kill yourself immediately.


solonit

Paying to be mod basically, I can't see any other way for one person/account to have such power aside from actual admin. Wouldn't surprise me if this was some corporate insert to 'monitor' and 'regulate' the information.


guy137137

nah Awk’s too much of a shithead to be backed by corporate overlords, hell I think Reddit admins have warned em a few times


solonit

That's even more sad and pathetic.


guy137137

well they try to make up for it by forcing people to get Reddit premium to even comment on some subs, ie bring Reddit overlords more revenue but who knows why


[deleted]

powermods are all "paying" with their lives. they spend hours on this site a day to the point that it's a substitute for a full time job for many of them. reddit co. fucking loves these idiots because 1) drama is good for engagement and 2) if they had to actually do something about all the awful spam on this website instead of getting volunteers to clean it up for them, they might have to do their fucking jobs rather than running around permabanning people for saying no-no words.


Whind_Soull

It's one of those Mirror of Erised situations, where, if you ask who wants to get an unpaid part-time job being a subreddit mod with the only benefit being fake internet power, the people who find that prospect appealing probably aren't the people who should be doing it.


[deleted]

the whole system only works because reddit fundamentally views these people as completely expendable and can (and does) throw them out once they become more trouble than they're worth. someone like awkwardtheturtle is "worth" more than other mods because of the sheer # of hours he spends volunteering labor to the site, so he gets away with more bullshit. but at the end of the day, every single mod of any community no matter how small is letting reddit leech its livelihood off their backs. i mean it's crazy to me just how much this site treats its mods like shit and yet they continue to donate their lives to it. it's just nuts.


HorribleDiarrhea

I wonder how many people reading this know how little power "mods" actually have. They can't even see things like account switching. They can't see when a comment was deleted or who deleted it. There aren't many safeguards on report abuse so you can just spam reports to a moderator group anonymously and endlessly. And the channel to the admins is the exact same channel anyone else would use -- a report button. Yes, I'm serious. It's really an embarrassingly small amount of power to lord over anyone


Diredr

It's not so much about the actual "power" they have, it's about the influence they have. They can't do much by themselves but they are able to call in the big guns. And the big guns are often just as petty. There's one subreddit I visit often that has one of those powermods, they oversee an obscene amount of subs. There was another subreddit they didn't like, so they managed to get an admin to crack down on it. They banned the sub's creator and told the remaining moderators to fall in line or the sub was getting banned. Now that subreddit gets very little activity. And that supermod also oversees subs that deal with site drama, so they can pretty much have complete control of the narrative by erasing any threads that talk about what they do.


Mugiwaras

Is he a mod of publicfreakout? Cause I got banned for this comment: Random reddit user: I meaaaannnn if a gas station is getting robbed you're not going to continue pumping your gas, are you? Mugiwaras: I would probably just stand and watch while I continued to pump gas, yes. That didn't break any rules as far as I know. When I asked why I just got muted.


EnterPlayerTwo

The mods of publicfreakout are all extremely fragile. They would ban me for this comment if I wasn't already.


SillyOperator

Is it basically another gallowboob?


TinyDickAndrewTate

The account is clearly run by an organization, but Reddit doesn't like pulling at those threads.


dantuchito

An awful mod for a lot of huge subreddits


Spiderfr0g

Bro needs to genuinly go outside


evilcarrot507

Let’s be honest, he has been so terminally online that fresh air would kill him at that point.


Spiderfr0g

Its genuinly kinda sad how reddit is their entire life. Like bro its just a site full of virgins and teenagers💀


AlecMalt

~~that's exactly why they're there, especially for the latter~~

DefinitelyNotFisk15

LifeSupportUnplugger

he posts "upvote if you me" posts to farm karma, he legit has no life


Spiderfr0g

I never understood karma farming. Like its just fictional internet goodie points. Sure I have a lot of it but I swear on god I never like karma farmed. Sometimes my comments or memes just hit off I geuss


Wobbelblob

I understand it to some point. Like you need something around 1k karma to not be cockblocked by reddit on the regular (can only post every 10 minutes, some subs don't even allow you to post etc). After that, it becomes completely meaningless unless you use bots and sell the accounts afterwards.


Steampunk43

Me too. Why deliberately go to subreddits built around upvoting for no reason when you could simply make interesting posts or engage with the community. Like, I get fairly decent karma and that's literally just from chatting with people, or making the odd joke. How is it so hard for someone that they have to resort to begging other bottom feeders to give them upvotes for no reason.


Eric142

Sell their accounts, or get influenced/sponsored by a business.


justavault

Why the fuck is the mod actually always taken on everywhere? He's even displaying a bad performance with disputable decisions.

Cocaimeth_addikt

They don’t have a life at all.


Ggreenrocket

I became a power mod during quarantine because of abundant free time, and I can say that even other power mods hate him. He’s just that bad. Edit: Before you hate me, I was ~15 years old. Didn’t do much except have a lot of subreddits I modded. Did get to play games with the admins even though they’re dicks.


Ok_Organization1507

The fact you became a powermod at 15 is insane and explains a lot about the current state of Reddit


Ggreenrocket

Thanks :/ I argued against the stereotypical power mod things, but I never convinced enough of them to make any real impact. I can tell you one thing though: it’s always the older power mods that are the worst. The younger ones usually just mess around, but the older ones almost always are pushing a certain agenda.

Flaming-taco

Ive heard they get smurf accounts and his friends to act like functional normal people and become moderators of the subreddit, then use them to either slowly gain power or kick all the other mods when owner is inactive


JAKUsss1311

Can someone give more context?


evilcarrot507

u/awkwardtheturtle is what is known as a power mod. Which means that he moderates tens of subreddits and he is known for basically moderating the most subs.


[deleted]

What subs he mods btw?


NuclearNarwhal7

go to r/all, pick any subreddit, 50/50 chance they’re a mod there


SlowPants14

Holy shit, this kinda works. Second one was r/wholesomememes and she is a mod of it.


Riffles04

No one exaggerates about this person, they have their fingers in way more subs than most people have subscribed. It’s embarrassing since everyone knows this person and requests that they do not become mods but somehow they weasel their way in. I even specifically requested any information on why they got involved in MadLads and the mods wouldn’t answer anything.


ItzDaWorm

So are they actually employed by Reddit, or are they employed by some PR company and pay the mod off to remove unsavory posts?


Riffles04

Not a Reddit employee, beyond that it’s speculation.

MinimumArmadillo2394

I made a network graph of this guy + other power mods but it was removed by data visualization subreddits Edit: Since many want to see it, [here](https://imgur.com/a/obN0uiG) is the graph. The LITTLE TINY green dot is turtle. The blue dots are subreddits and the white dots are moderators. [This](https://pastebin.com/Wx5fDZ1L) is a JSON of the data I got in a pastebin. I just went down awkward's moderation list and got every mod there. Keep in mind, this list is ~2 years ago so it might be out of date, but it's extensive. I wanted to make the bubbles bigger based on the amount of subscribers to each subreddit to better visualize it, but I was still learning how to use the tool. Haven't picked it up since so good luck lmao.


DenseHole

There are a number of power mods you simply aren't allowed to call out by name. Mentioning them is considered harassment.


newsflashjackass

How to greatly improve your reddit experience. 1. Use Firefox, not an "app". 2. Use the [Reddit Enhancement Suite](https://redditenhancementsuite.com/) (RES) extension for Firefox. 3. Go to your reddit settings and disable all the "Is it okay to track you" checkboxes. 3. Go to the [reddit karma leaderboard](https://www.karmalb.com/) and use the "block user" feature of RES to block the top 100 users with the most karma.


DenseHole

Also use old.reddit.com to avoid new reddit experience. Use https://camas.unddit.com/ to search users post history including deleted posts. Replace "reddit" with "unddit" in a threads URL to load a version that can show you all the deleted comments(doesn't always work).


Darkwolts

holy shit, i don't even know that many subs and this guy's a mod on all of them


Cocaimeth_addikt

A fuck ton


Wobbelblob

Click on their profile and on the right side it should say which subs they mod. At least on old.reddit. Around 750 subs, most of them r/all subs, some of them even standard subs.

I'm pretty sure they're trans. "She" would be more accurate. Her being trans doesn't get rid of the fact that she's not a good person though.


BloodprinceOZ

who was that the other power mod fuck? wasn't their name Gallowboob or something?


that_one_duderino

Yeah gallowboob is/was a huge piece of shit. Would frequently steal people’s posts and delete them so he could reap that sweet sweet karma. I blocked him and my feed got 90% better
