Another likely part of this is that powerusers (to my knowledge) don't really get bogged down with too many replies. The only way you can be a poweruser (in the sense that your posts and comments get tons of upvotes, not in the sense that you're just online all the time) is to game the system by carefully choosing posting times, getting in early on threads, meming, copying shit that was popular the last time that thread popped up, and (in many cases) vote manipulation. That's a lot of work, and none of it involves being engaged enough with replies to make an issue out of someone misgendering you.
so this is like... over a decade ago... but she was a poweruser on reddit who mostly posted cute cats and shit, just generally interacting a lot and modding a bunch of default subs. She was a very early mod of /r/TwoXChromosomes and shit and was like one of those few people who would deal with the bullshit from being obviously a woman on reddit at the time. anyways, somehow people figured out that her day job was "social media liason" or something for like, something related to pets or something??? idk. (It was around this point in this comment that I have become 30 reddit tabs deep with 10 year old drama threads. don't be like me kids) anyways people got absurdly mad about it because they all KNEW that this meant she was using her mod positions for nefarious content promotion reasons (despite there being no reason to think she was doing more than posting things her job wanted her to post as well as all the other pet related content she was always posting anyways) so people got mad as hell and then there were repeated drama outbursts over things like removing negative comments about her on subs she modded etc. but yeah, she was constantly getting rape/murder threats and was constantly the target of misogynistic hate speech. But the whole thing was despite saying she had political posting about feminism stuff I always seemed to find her making excuses for misogynist dudes on there. Like, she was being about as milquetoast as she could possibly be about feminism and they still came for her with pitchforks. Like, she literally went and hung out with violentacrez and was on podcasts with him and shit while he was operating a child porn subreddit.
Oh also she invented the "Bacon Narwhal's at Midnight" thing for which I shall never forgive her, but good reasons to hate her like that never seemed to surface on her AMA threads where everything she posted was downvoted
yeah, and the thing was back then most people on reddit thought of reddit as being really liberal and people would push back really hard against any accusations of different treatment for women on the site etc. By the time Ellen Pao was CEO it was after SRS had kinda forced the issue about misogyny on reddit and the site as a whole had decided that they actually liked being the misogyny site and they were mad all some of the child porn was gone.
So she's a proto-gallowboob? I didn't know who she is but I hate her already, I don't care that she's a woman. anyone who posts on reddit for money should be murdered , especially in 2010 when reddit was way less commercial.
I don't actually think professional redditors should be murdered, but I hate them with all my heart. If I said they get the guillotine no one would be mad lol

Imagine reading replies on Reddit, let alone returning to a thread.
yeah I mean she just had to see how Saydrah was treated despite being the exact kind of piece of shit they liked
