I'm not just saying goodbye to an old friend, i'm saying goodbye to thousands. by go1dfish in SuicideWatch

[–]go1dfish[S] -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No reasonable person kills themself over the happenings on a website.

But plenty of people think I am reasonable, and plenty of people also showed genuine concern that I was about to do something truly regrettable.

That's incredibly encouraging. /r/SuicideWatch is one of the few good things left in this site.

This exit is the only voice I have left on this site. I encourage everyone to do the same in as public fashion as possible

The admins only care about your opinion if you are willing to leave over it.

/r/reddit.com/comments/87/the_downing_street_memo/

Unlike the graffiti of pompeii, ours is scrawled in bits and can be edited even from the dawn of graffiti itself.

If you have a comment on that thread, you have a unique voice. I encourage you to avail yourself of it.

My final request is that I be unbanned from /r/politics and /r/PoliticalDiscussion

So that I may at least have a chance at finding a political voice on reddit in the future without being shadowbanned.

Even in digital suicide, my real person is denied a voice on reddit as a matter of official Reddit Inc. administrative policy.

Thank you /u/BritishEnglishPolice

/u/go1dfish is now the easiest thing to link to for why reddit is dead.

It wont change till they /r/BringRedditBack

Just make sure to get my name right: go one d fish

Constant username notifications will give me hope, and if they fix things I will return.

Until then

Deleting this account would be against everything I ever stood for.

So would violating my oath of honor by leaking /r/modtalk That's never been how I do things with one unfortunate exception that I regret

Anyone who knows me should have known it was hollow, even if it was made on a thread celebrating my death.

Thank you for proving my point.

Thank you to the mods of /r/SuicideWatch for correctly removing this post incredibly promptly.

Not all [removed] content is bad. I have never been against moderation

You are doing a great service here, and I can think of no more fitting end to this account than to have my final post transparently removed in a way that even I approve of.

/r/ModLog/about/wiki does not detect self post removals and I think I'm going to leave it that way.

I think it's a healthy balance between transparency and obscurity. Truely onerous titles can be nuked by the admins.

You may delete this comment with my blessing, it will not hinder my purpose in writing it.

As of today I am retiring from reddit and will not be making any more submissions.

My participation here is an artifact of an earlier better time that has long since run its course. We've still been able to pretend like reddit was here and it was still the best way to spend time online, but I grow tired of this delusion.

When reddit was first started there were no subreddits. As subreddits were added (first by the admins and then later by the community), the original "front page" remained as /r/reddit.com.

The defaults didn't exist for the first 2 years. There was only /r/all and /u/jedberg saw that it was good. Politics, technology and police abuse ruled the day. (Don't taze me bro!)

Then reddit decided that democracy wasn't good enough.

ಠ_ಠ /u/ekjp

I am incredibly disappointed. I want to start out by saying that your gender, nationality, sexuality, and all other -ality's you identify with (protected and non-protected classes) have absolutely zero to do with any of the following statements. Don't sue me bro.

/r/TwoXChromosomes is the only default subreddit to allow political advocacy while you make gender discrimination lawsuits.

I don't know anything about the details of your case. I could not care less.

I don't know anything about your husband. I could not care less.

But I do know how bad that looks.

Is it any wonder why the charity results ended up like they did when your favored subs get to cheerlead their charities of choice while any other politically motivated charities got banished to the free speech zones of reddit? (LOL what will we call this now?)

On the topic of the new harassment rules.

When your twitter friends complain that they got doxed you don't have to institute a new rule for that. The doxxing rule is what is supposed to make reddit safe, not some extra institutional censorship.

Doxxing is well defined, Doxxing is objective. There isn't nearly as much gray area as the rule you have crafted for your twitter friend (who was already protected by existing rules that you failed to effectively enforce)

On competency

I've not seen that you have any skill or intelligence to offer to reddit other than complaining about unfairness and oppression.

But perhaps I have judged you unfairly; god knows the denizens of this sub get marginalized in similar fashion. People think we are just complaining and that things aren't really so bad. Feel free to correct me. Or just go back to twitter.

You have not demonstrated any operable knowledge about the internet, policy or technology.

But you are the gatekeeper of it's self-proclaimed front page. This is not tenable to me as a citizen of the internet.

/u/yishan had vision. All you have to bring to the table is fear mongering and censorship.

Reddit is inherently safe so long as you protect the PI rule. Instituting 'safe spaces' in an anonymous internet environment is absurd. Violence is impossible. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Thinking that you need to institute additional subjectiveness is the wrong approach.

What have you ever built?

Where is your AMA?

What ideas have you contributed to reddit unrelated to gender and harassment?

Why do you use twitter more than reddit?

Do you even know what /r/reddit.com was? Why it was important?

Why it was removed?

When does the narwhal bacon?

Who is Mr. Splashy Pants?

Were you at the stewart colbert rally?

How many days has it been since Hannity promised to be waterboarded?

Did you opt out for /r/OperationGrabAss?

Ever take an arrow to the knee?

You don't know the first thing about reddit and you are becoming the last nail in its coffin.

The recognition of the insuperable limits to his knowledge ought indeed to teach the student of society a lesson of humility which should guard him against becoming an accomplice in men's fatal striving to control society — a striving which makes him not only a tyrant over his fellows, but which may well make him the destroyer of a civilization which no brain has designed but which has grown from the free efforts of millions of individuals.

Please GTFO for the love of reddit

Then it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger But there’s no one around Just want one thing Just to play the king But the castle’s crumbled And you’re left with just a name

We're not just saying goodbye to an old friend, we're saying goodbye to thousands.

Reddit is not a platform to express my ideas or participate in the conversation. So I won't.

I hope other reasonable people will come to the same conclusion.

It's the only way we have to show reddit that they are systematically harassing the community by their own definition.

Safety doesn't matter on a burning platform.

Not all of us get shadowbanned and live to tell the tale.

It's an exclusive club and we deserve recognition.

If /u/kn0thing is going to fix shadow bans he should give every user who has ever been shadowbanned and managed to make it back a trophy.

I didn't forget about you, but there's just so many fucking goodbyes to say that there is no way I could ever remember everyone who has ever crossed my path on reddit to say goodbye in a night.

I have enough gold to go almost 7 months without ads, just PM me.

Curious to hear about your idea. I just had one last ditch idea as well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/36m0n0/if_reddit_no_longer_prioritizes_free_speech_can/

It became the obvious approach once I took things to their logical conclusions.

Reddit's remaining value is that it is an amazing software platform at low cost.

But the administration is essentially a slowly ratcheting authoritarian government.

What if we could remove the admin's ability to discriminate content? What if we could further still remove the admin's ability to discriminate content source?

The admins then stop having a say in what type of content can be discussed amongst these safe spaces.

The admins are then forced to make a choice between allowing users their privacy, or discriminating their content to create "safe" spaces. They can't have one without compromising the other.

They either get to say what users can and can't say, or the let their users have true privacy.

If reddit no longer prioritizes free speech, can redditors? If I build a great wall of cryptography in user land on top of reddit to separate the user base from authoritarian intervention and create a true safe space (cryptoanarchy) will it be nuked? (self.redditdev)

Thank you, it's been a while.

I'd still like to be unbanned.

I don't recall ever having any particularly significant interactions with you.

Believe it or not, I actually think the moderation of /r/politics has vastly improved in the time since my banning.

The only complaint I have left is that BEP keeps me exiled.

/u/alllie !

I can never spell your name right it must be how everyone feels with mine. There is no telling how many username notifications pass me by and end up an /u/go1ldfish /u/g01dfish /u/goldf1sh etc...

A bot to pick up on common variations and notify me was on my reddit todo list.

Running a site at the scale of reddit is expensive, like even if the thing were fully automated and nobody needed to eat you're talking thousands of dollars a month in costs.

Voat is ambitious but I'm not convinced they know how to scale.

The great power and beauty of reddit that I only really recently started tapping into with reddit is recognizing how powerful reddit is as a development platform.

http://fairshare.website

http://politicbot.github.io

https://modlog.github.io/#/monitor

These cost me absolutely nothing because github is free for open source software, and these applications are just js files that run in your browser.

It lets me do some very cool and powerful stuff, but I'm replying on reddit as a communications tool and data storage backend.

The API is fucking awesome.

But I feel like I have to leave because reddit talks out of both sides of its mouth.

The users don't know how suppressed and filtered reddit is, they think it exists as something that it is not and that is the biggest tragedy.

If people knew what they didn't have they would try to find it.

But reddit as website is entirely designed to prevent that and any and all transparency that we squeeze out of this site is a massive and dirty hack (That's what makes it so fun honestly!)

I can't take the hypocrisy any more, and especially when the site has become useless as a soap box.

I am going to continue operating /r/GetFairShare with PoliticBot but I will be using it as an opportunity to encourage more people to look more critically at reddit and its admins.

Reddit is the community, and the admins are just a shitty government at this point like all the rest.

There are good people in bad governments, and there are good admins still in a bad reddit.

If I had the money I'd do it in an instant. Nothing would make me happier than to work all day building this.

I have an incredibly interesting job that I'm not allowed to talk about at all, but it affords me enormous flexibility as I work from home (or wherever) and set my own hours essentially. I get to build cool shit that indirectly improves the world in tangible ways I get to appreciate every day.

But not at the level of what reddit could have been, and if you knew what I do all day that would sound a hell of a lot more profound and impactful.

I don't have the money to build a reddit at the size it needs to be on my own. The network effects are huge to overcome as well.

Think of how hard it is to even get a subreddit migration going.

But this rant has led me to an interesting conclusion.

What if reddit couldn't tell what we said?

What if we built communities in reddit, with reddit that the admins could not penetrate, only eliminate.

Would they tolerate it?

I will have to ponder this more. It's a vague idea that's been floating in my head for /r/FairShare for a while.

The backend is the expensive part, and an encrypted darkreddit would still be able to take advantage of reddit's backends.

/u/kemitche thoughts? There is nothing in the subreddit rules that would forbid this that I can tell.

/u/Deimorz might have an opinion as well.

If we use cryptography to build a great wall between us and Pao (and any other authoritarians) will we be shut down?

That just might be a project interesting enough to motivate me to stick around here in some limited capacity.

/u/kn0thing

Where to begin? How about where it all started.

https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/87/the_downing_street_memo/

Let's assume we live in a strange parallel universe where everything is the same in our timeframe except the iraq war is happening now.

Where do you post the downing street memo today such that it gets attention and sparks the largest protests in history (which end up accomplishing nothing but that's beside the point).

You don't even get that far.

Reddit is no longer a viable soapbox. All you can do is circle jerk and counter circle jerk.

There is no community, only splintering.

There is no information market for subreddits, only opacity.

A catch all default cleanly solves so many of the perceptual and procedural problems that plague this community that it baffles my mind why the admins are so opposed to exploring this option.

What are you afraid of?

You have this to say on subreddit competition

The way we designed reddit was to be a platform for millions of communities (500K so far) and if a particular community's mod team jumps the shark, redditors can quickly leave to another community that enforces rules they approve. We've seen this happen time and time again (the first was /r/marijuana to /r/trees exodus).

But you and I are both adults, we both pay attention to reddit.

The /r/trees example is so old as to be prehistoric, and if it happened time and time again you would site a much less controversial example.

It's never happened with any community of any significant size since the fall of /r/reddit.com

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/1m336u/will_we_ever_see_another_rmarijuanatype_emigration/

Those breaks that do happen are always trigger by some relatively cataclysmic event, it's never a matter of 'hey this sub kinda sucks maybe we could do it better' it's always some mod drama.

As a result of this, drama and witch hunts are the most effective promotional tool on reddit that doesn't require admin ordination, default approval, or stacks of cash.

Is it any wonder that it happens so often?

This has been a known problem for years. Plenty of times the admins tell us of some 'fix' or improvement to the defaults just on the horizon. But nothing ever changes but your subjective shuffling of the topics.

It was near impossible to offset an existing sub even WITH /r/reddit.com and you suggest that it's the easiest thing in the world today.

Maybe if a sub was moderated by Hitler or Pao that would be one thing, but the world isn't black and white; and neither is the character of a subreddit's quality.

But none of this matters. You don't give a damn about me or the existing subscriber base any more.

You've done the math, and you know that growth is the hit you need.

Well the approach you have taken has made me and plenty of other redditors want to burn this site to the ground rather than let you profit off its ruin.

How can we fix this?

The solution is simple and you could do it RIGHT NOW, it's the easiest thing in the world and there would be hundreds if not thousands of willing mods.

Make the mod log public, be as transparent as you claim to be.

Actions not words.

The systematic changes of this site over the past 5 years have led be to believe that reddit is not a platform to express my ideas or participate in the conversation.

So I'm not going to anymore. Not until you /r/BringBackReddit or finally explain why /r/twoxchromosomes is and should be the only default subreddit to allow political advocacy.

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name

Where's your crown?

/u/BritishEnglishPolice

Why do you still feel the need to dictate my ban after all these years?

We got off on a wrong foot. Words were said, we were both assholes shit happens. Internet arguments shouldn't last this long.

I've offered olive branches from the start: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/p9urh/rpolitics_we_need_to_talk_this_reddit_is_for_us/c3wckzz?context=3

I wanted nothing but to make /r/politics a better place for political discussion and I got nothing but scorn and harassment for it.

Transparency is not only necessary and useful in the case of bad actors, and seeking transparency is not an indictment.

But willfully avoiding and preventing it is.

Calling everyone who asks questions a tinfoil hatter or a nutter is not a way to build a diverse community of political thought.

But we're past that.

/u/PoliticBot has finally fallen silent and that was the last sticking point the last time you considered maybe letting me have a voice?

You've got what you always wanted.

So I concede, my task was impossible and you and Pao have won, I have lost. Pao is on your side and unlike political authority; authority in a website is a tangible, provable concept.

Will you please at least grant be an unbanning now as I retire from reddit?

Also /u/Jakeable thank you for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/36co61/modloggithubio_is_a_new_type_of_reddit_bot_it/crdme9v

Thank you for redirecting my ideological trolling into productive pursuits.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/comments/2upn9x/the_sidebar_states_no_advocating_violence_how_do/coakzlu

/r/BasicIncome reminded me of when I used to participate on /r/politics because the demographics are pretty much identical and it was a much freer space back then.

I used to love getting massively down voted for making calm, reasoned arguments from the perspective of liberty and freedom.

They have to at least glance at what you have to say to find the down vote button.

I'm not giving up on BasicIncome or /r/FairShare but I do have to give up on reddit right now and I wish you the best in your efforts.

Like /u/anutensil I hope you will eventually realize that government can never be an ally for change in the US.

We can't wait for them.

The most important job to automate away is that of the politician.

If more people can make that click, the connection between automation, efficiency and 'government' then there is no end to the progress we can achieve.

But even knowing that you face a hopeless task you push it every day with intelligence and kindness.

It's incredibly endearing and I am a better person for having met you.

Good ideas don't have to be spread at the barrel of a gun, and /r/BasicIncome is one of the best ideas of our time.

Encourage other fair-share beneficiaries to participate in /r/modlog It was /r/FairShare that incubated the general concept.

FairShare is bigger than reddit, and we would have had to find a different host eventually anyway.

I do kind of wish I had got around to implementing end to end client encryption for reddit just to shake things up, but maybe that will come when I return.

Thank you for your constant API help as I seek to do thinks that your bosses might not approve of.

My discussions with you today reinforced my view of you as an incredibly competent developer who knows what an API ought to be.

Browser clients are the future of community development, and I know you can usher reddit into that era if it manages to last long enough without collapsing upon itself.

I want to leave you with a suggestion to look more into the use case of the API authorization page as a starting point/landing page as I have done with ModLog

It's the best way to eliminate friction and I can't think of any good reason not to encourage that sort of path if api clients are something reddit wants to encourage.

Keep building great shit, even if those above your non-negotiable pay grade ruin it in practice, us developers always know the value of good code even when it is maligned by bad policy.

I like you because you demonstrated just how afraid the mod cliques are of an outsider.

The little known fact of reddit is that even if /r/politics modded me and I went in with a desire to burn that motherfucker to the ground like it deserves I'd be just as impotent as I am to bring /r/reddit.com back.

Everything is change logged Everything can be undone.

Reddit is too afraid to experiment. Too afraid of change. and now too afraid to be free.

I was as skeptical as the rest when you first jumped on the scene but curiosity has always served me well and this was no exception.

I hope you someday achieve your dream of total subreddit assimilation. I'd rather have more mods like you than any of the other subreddit collectors that shun you.

Prove those fuckers to be as wrong about you as possible and build something great.

The best revenge is living well.

I just made some changes to the permissions in /r/POLITIC (nothing personal to anyone)

/r/POLITIC is my gift to you to manage in my absence however you see fit. You are the top mod (besides me and politicbot)

But I ask that you keep it dark for at least a week, maybe use that time to encourage more people to run /r/modlog/new

Show reddit that I'm not the only person who gives a damn about transparency.
