I heard u/spez, the CEO, affectionately called Pigboy, moderated r/jailbait. Which upon research, is a now defunct sub that specialized in questionable images of questionable age that should have been illegal.
I could be wrong, but that is what I heard.
This is why I love the Internet.
Done!
I am not going to stand for this.
I didn’t come here into the fediverse to have instances dictate on their whim that I’ll not have access to something.
This goes completely against the idea of having an unified platform. You can of course do whatever you want, but I’ll not be part of a closed garden.
The best thing is that there’s a poll to prove that this is what he users want, https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/14bjzd7/vote_now_choose_the_future_direction_of_riphone/
So if the Pigboy “considers voting mods out based on user votes”, then we know which way the votes will go.
PS. The r/iphone banner now reads “f*ck u/spez” on both sides, which is a nice touch.
