Funny.
Steve "spez" Huffman is a nepo baby, a failson, an aspiring slave owner, and a pedophile.
I swear I read somewhere that Steve Huffman and Ghislaine Maxwell were both mods of /r/jailbait at the same time but I can't find anything about it.
I know Huffman was a mod on that sub, but I think Maxwell was an admin and oversaw multiple subs. I forget, though, because both things were reported a long ass time ago by mainstream news (where I learned about them).
N word bot was amazing, a lot of the "trying to be subtle" type racists would just instantly retract into their holes when the robot told everyone they said the n word 362 times on Reddit.
Redscare bot on the Trueanon sub was super cool for the same reason.
I actually never posted on SRS, but I did always admire how mad they made the rest of reddit solely via the power of ✍️
EDIT: wait did SRS invent n word counter bot?
I remember hearing about that. Then they admins banned it because it kept getting used on them, right? Lmao
A lot of bots were deactivated at roughly the same time; my personal theory is they interfere with training AI/LLM on comments so they leave the inconsequential ones like the remindme bot or the Haiku bot.
It was always funny to see it used against spez cause it always found 1 result (of him quoting some offending content when making a mod post)
Just like how twitch banned any use of the word
The absurd is officially banal
Cumskin is a better slur for them anyway.
Being associated with cracking whips is preferable for some of the fash types.
iirc "cracker" doesn't even refer to that, it was an old-timey way to insult someone for talking too much (usually a lower class white person).
I've been told the etymology is for poor white trash that ate a lot of cracked corn
nepobaby and failson make for good slurs for white chuds…so I’m assuming that’s why they’re shadowbanned.
INB4 we see another “is this the N-word for rich white men?” article discussing the term ‘nepo baby’.

are you seeing this somewhere in the lemmyverse?
More like The New Yorker, typically. Any bougie rag crawling with op-eds written by nepo baby failsons.
also according to @marcie@lemmy.ml it shadowbans mentions of hexbear lol
It's showing up for me in private browsing at least when I test:

EDIT: Mind you, the shadowbanning could just be nerfing comments/posts with the keywords, rather than outright blocking them. That's not as easy to prove though.
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
Yes, how does one discover a shadowban? Is it that the comment is shadowbanned or that the user is shadowbanned? Was it a r#dd*t leak?
You have to log-off, delete cookies and see if comment is there. Now I have to correct myself, the situation is even weirder; actual comment is shadow banned when you are not logged in, but visible for logged users. Now in past I was sometimes surprised that my anti-lib comments didn’t got flurry of downvotes so got in habit logging of and checking sorted by new and quite often my comments were shadow banned
They leave it up for the user, but it’s really gone from the site? Wow, that’s pretty insidious! Thanks for the explanation.
If they ban shadow couldn't he just use chaos control and get back in?
Do you think u/sp#z wouldn’t mind being called the nepobaby, failson, pigboy (as I’m sure he is)? He’s using the same playbook. El•n isn’t the only social media fascist out there.
