Hello, Circlebroke. I'm 28DansLater. AMA (self.circlebroke)

28DansLater が 投稿 - stickied post

  • I mod 169 subs (private + public), the majority of which are shitty and offensive.

  • I've been on Reddit for over three years under various accounts (too numerous to count or name).

I'll answer as many questions as I can, but for the sake of time and consideration, I'm not here for a debate. I want to interact with as many people as possible.

Ask away, Brokers.

edit: Hey, guys. I'm stepping out for an hour or so. I'll answer more of your question when I return. In the meantime, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMcXknXwDhI

Would you be embarrassed to tell people (in the real world) that you are the moderator of all of the subs that you mod? In other words, would you be happy to attach your face to your account and the subs you mod?

Also, what do you like best about this site?

I take measures to prevent that from happening. Most of my friends would get it, though. I've worked in kitchens for years, where casually using the slurs often used to describe homosexuals, African Americans, and transgendered people is the norm.

Also, what do you like best about this site?

The few real people I've come to know outside Reddit through texts, Twitter and chats.

I take measures to prevent that from happening.

And for good reason.

No wonder you keep your true self such a secret.

There's not a mental health professional on the planet that would look at what you do and conclude that you're in good shape.

You know, you don't HAVE to be a stereotype. You can fix yourself. Turn it around.

You know, you don't HAVE to be a stereotype.

What is my stereotype?

[–]wordgood 30ポイント31ポイント  (52子コメント)

A person who needs to punch down because shit isn't right with them.

And you know this, because you take steps to hide what you do from the world.

Don't take my word for it: Go to a shrink and show them what you do. Explain to them why it's not a big deal, why it's not a sign of a problem. Explain that if you didn't do it someone else would, so it's fine. Show them /r/beatingautists.

The stereotype of the young guy working in a low-end job, getting shit on, and needing to pass it on to someone else. You're punching down. You're helping all that shit that landed on your head flow down hill.

You're not original. You're a textbook entry. You're a question on a quiz.

But you don't HAVE to be that way. You don't have to be part of a statistic. You don't have to.

Getting a little heavy there. This is just Reddit.

[–]wordgood 25ポイント26ポイント  (43子コメント)

No, this is a social interaction where you act out.

Like I said, you're not unique, you're a textbook entry.

Do you think letters don't count? Phone calls? Leaflets? Flyers? That somehow Reddit is different from 15 years of the Internet as a whole, or e-mail and usenet and message boards and social media?

Reddit, and the Internet as a whole, is just a new chapter in how human beings communicate with each other.

I'm sorry it's heavy, but it's true.

And like I said don't take my word for it: go to another professional. Go see what they think.

I'm sorry, I really am, that you're where you are. I truly believe that you can turn it around, because I've never met a human being who couldn't when given access to the proper tools and the proper care. But what you're doing isn't healthy, it's textbook acting out, and it's a sign of bigger things. And no one does this in a vacuum, especially to the degree you have.

It's what I say to everyone in your position that I've met: You don't have to be a stereotype. You don't have to be a statistic, you don't have to be just another example. You can be your own man, your own human being. You can be better.

With very few exceptions, I don't know who those people are. That's how Reddit was designed.

I honestly don't know that is supposed to even mean, and, more importantly, what possible bearing it could have.

It means don't bring your personal life to Reddit.

[–]UnconfirmedCat 6ポイント7ポイント  (11子コメント)

Oh my, are you for real right now? Don't tell me this is how you perceive interaction here. You do realize there is so much more out there to experience that just being "edgy" and promoting the same old stupid ironic cloaked bigotry, right? Like, you may actually be able to drop your sad soap boxing to connect with those you may have much more in common than you realize.

But who am I to stand in the way of being an outraged edgelord.

On Reddit, you're encouraged to hide your true identity to prevent doxxing. It's not like Facebook where you're required to use your real name. I simply take it to a different level of protection.

If I was ever doxxed by having my Facebook linked to Reddit, no one would believe the dox to be true.

    Just because you work(ed) in a toxic work environment doesn't mean it is suddenly okay or anything.

        Can you explain to me, in-depth, why SRS, well... ...sucks?

        [–]28DansLater[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (9子コメント)

        Back in 2012, early 2013, SRS was entertaining. You had Laurelai, RobotAnna, kbrooks, Ides, etc, creating shitstorms left and right. It was funny to poke them. Nowadays, /u/dworkinator is seemingly the only one who cares about fucking shit up and getting rowdy. Queituus and Strudelle are still around, but they've lacked any semblance of charisma or humor.

        [–]TunicSongForKaren 14ポイント15ポイント  (4子コメント)

        That doesn't really answer my question.

        [–]28DansLater[S] 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

        It sucks because it's no longer entertaining. It used to be full of feminists frantically hating cismales. Now it's a bunch of nobodies jerking over the same offensive stuff without any entertainment value attached to what they say or do.

        The same could be said about plenty of the subreddits you mod, honestly. Do they "suck" as well?

        Keep in mind that only a handful of my subs are active.

        SRSsucks can be repetitive. Without the perfect foil (SRS circa 2012), it's hard to be entertaining, though. If and when SRS gets their shit together, SRSsucks will return to its former glory.

        In SubredditCancer, we're taking steps to remove the low-effort people who seek out bans so they can cry "cancer". SRC is most entertaining when it's creating awareness of cancer; getting leaks from ModTalk/DefaultMods/Europe; we were on the anti-Pao train months before it went mainstream. We were linked to SRD every day for two weeks straight. I would say the sub is entertaining.

        I think it weighed a little more heavily towards SRSucks IMO but it was much, much, much more balanced in user base than SRD now.

        Hey, Dan, what do you have to say to all the people that claim that your modding said subs means you're a shitty person in real life and it's safe to discard your opinion out of hand?

        [–]28DansLater[S] -3ポイント-2ポイント  (20子コメント)

        If they want to be close-minded, so be it. I believe everyone should have a voice, and that hiding ugly opinions under a rug only creates problems and breeds even more hate.

        [–]Ragnar_OK 20ポイント21ポイント  (12子コメント)

        Interesting. I agree with you that hiding ugly opinions is wrong, but you didn't exactly answer my question. Do you have anything say directly to make you seem like less of a jerk to the people who think that way (that you're a shitty person and the subs you mod are enough to judge your character) in the first place?

        Not really.

        Well, maybe this: I'm Kenny Powers if Kenny Powers knew how to Reddit.

        [–]Ragnar_OK 9ポイント10ポイント  (7子コメント)

        As opposed to your first answer, which was interesting, this one was just "interesting".

        I would think, from the outside, that the fact that so many people get offended at that would have made all those subs successful in their primary reason for existing. Then again, I'm not you, I can't divine your reasons. I would have thought that you'd have tried to make that more apparent.

        Do you think that your lack of clear reasoning, and your failure to deliver it and "clear your name" so to speak, helped cause the current reddit atmosphere in any way?

        I mean, this "I have nothing to say to them because they don't get it in the first place" line of thought, do you think it helped this view that "what you mod == who you are"?

        I thought I understood it, but your answers here are giving me doubt. Can you shed a bit more light on why you do it, please?

        I'm aware enough to realize it's nearly impossible to sway the true believers. The ones who've taken the chance to share a modmail with me, know there's more to me than what I showcase in the open.

        [–]Ragnar_OK 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

        I understand. As a follow-up question, do you blame those people who blame you for what subs you mod for not doing more to get in touch with you and seeing who you actually are? Further, do you think that your general reticence to explain yourself could cause people to misunderstand you and what you're doing?

        Not really. I know I put on a shitty face.

        Further, do you think that your general reticence to explain yourself could cause people to misunderstand you and what you're doing?

        Yes. They way I act has also helped me connect with some truly awesome people, though.

        I talk to /u/Goatsac and /u/T_Dumbsford outside of Reddit. Both are cool. I consider them friends.

        /u/KrustyKoonKrackers offered to send me flowers when I was in the hospital a few months ago. I consider him a friend.

        [–]Ragnar_OK 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

        Thank you for the honest answer. No insult meant, but the fact that I had to ask the same question 3 times in order to get an answer related to my question might be edificatory to why people hate those sort of subs (and their mods) so much.

        Don't mean this as a slight against yourself necessary, but I've noticed that the more you treat people like actual human beings, the more you're likely to get a human response. Sure, some people will always be shitty, but imo that shouldn't change who you are as a person.

        My main problem with all this is - why be a jerk and intentionally make everybody's day worse when it literally takes less effort to be less-of-a-jerk and try to make people's day's better. But that's just personal opinion, has nothing to do with the topic.

          What would you say to those who think that having an open and unhindered display of hateful discussion might sway those on the fence toward more hate? Wouldn't you agree that allowing unfettered hate speech allows more people to be exposed to it and thus more opportunities to breed said hate?

            2. Voat: Terrible or just mediocre? Also, as someone who mods a grip of subs, your thoughts on their modded sub limits, if any?

            3. Boxers, briefs, manties, freeballing, or other?

            4. In your mod teams, what would you say the gender mix is like, at least insofar as you know genders of folks?

            2. I've been to voat once, maybe twice. I prefer Reddit.

            3. Boxer briefs

            4. I don't know. I know I mod with a few females (/u/HarrietPotter, /u/Meowing_Cows). I don't ask their gender before modding.

              Are there any forums or discussion websites that you use besides Reddit? I'm wondering because, in my limited experience, Reddit seems to be the most lenient and censorship-free of all online forums. I was just wondering if you avoid other forums on principle because they engage in blocking/deleting more regularly than Reddit, or is it only the free speech rules on Reddit in particular that bother you?

              Reddit is it. I prefer seeing a wide range of opinions, regardless of how much I agree or disagree with them.

I get that you view reddit as unique amongst the internet communities, and that you'll defend its uniqueness against attempts to homogenise it. Our difference of opinion only comes in whether or not we perceive Reddit's uniqueness as a positive or negative thing

              I didn't think I would have a question for you, but after thinking about it for a little bit, I did have a couple, and I really hope you answer them.

              1. How old are you?

              2. What was your upbringing like? (This is kind of personal, so I understand if you don't want to answer it, and I promise I'm not looking to infer anything about your motives for modding the subs you do based on this - just genuinely curious.)

              3. How did you get into modding? Did you ever make a conscious choice to mod the subs you do and sort of "go down that path," for lack of a better phrase, or did it just happen naturally?

              4. Is there anything anybody could do or say to make you reconsider modding/participating in these subreddits?

              [–]28DansLater[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (12子コメント)

              1. 37

              2. Typical southern upbringing. Lower middle-class.

              3. I was invited to mod /r/BotanyOnMars and accepted.

              4. Not really. My actions have a filtering effect. Because of this, I know the Redditors I interact with outside of Reddit aren't fake. Once you get past my bullshit, I'm actually pretty normal.

              I wish you would go a little bit more in-depth, especially on that last one. Is there really nothing anybody could say or do? Would you ever go to a therapist? I think you know most wouldn't agree with your actions, so do you think therapy is a racket of a profession?

              No, because who I am in real life isn't who I am on Reddit. I know and observe social boundaries in my personal life. Anything goes on Reddit.

              So there's nothing's anyone could say to convince you you can't segregate actions like that, and obviously how you act in one aspect of life affects your identity as a whole?

              You need help, and the first step is always helping yourself. you won't see a professional, you won't listen to others, the only person you'll listen to is yourself, and that self isn't right.

              If you really will only listen to yourself...

              "Honestly, I do it because it causes shock"

              That, right there, is acting out. You're drawing attention to yourself because you're damaged. I don't mean that in any perjorative way, I mean in that you're injured or cracked or stressed or in some way damaged to a point where you need to call out socially.

              Good luck and god speed in your journeys.

                    He probably would. We don't know. What we do know is that Affleck is Batman for the foreseeable future, not counting the TV show Gotham. I think he'll exceed everyone's expectations and prove his naysayers wrong.

                    Well in this case we're talking about your political beliefs, which is essentially the framework for how you come to understand the world and your own behaviour in it. When we talk about ideology its something like your 'unspoken assumptions' about how the world works

                    Your political beliefs (or political ideology) aren't something you dip into when you feel like it, they shape how you understand the world on a day to day basis. Your actions are always influenced by your personal ideology.
