I ruined this subreddit.

I'm so confused, what happened?

If it is any consolation, GG painted all of you as horrible people way before this. The amount of vitriol is ridiculous on both sides, but for me personally (a KiA subscriber), I don't wish harm on anyone. There are plenty of KiA people who have done worse, who continue to do worse, and not give a shit. The fact that you apparently do makes you many notches higher in my book, so I just want you to know that while we might not agree on things, not all of us wish you harm or want to use your personal moments as tools for justifying arguments against everyone here, and I believe anyone who wants to do so can be considered guilty of worse than anything you may have done.

No one here is angry at you Lifestyled. Everyone on this subreddit appreciates and loves you dearly for everything you have done, and you have not ruined anything. We all makes mistakes, and you don't have to beat yourself up so much over this

We all love you, come back <3

You actually don't have to leave<3

I think the main-difference is that you actually know when you fucked up. No silly excuses. So my respect. And while i think you did indeed fuck up, leaving this sub might be a bit much. Learn from your mistake and be more vigilant about shit like this.

Don't worry about it. We all fuck up from time to time. The fact that you're willing to listen and acknowledge your mistakes says more about you than your mistakes ever will. GamerGate will exploit this just like they're exploiting the AM hacks right now because that's what they do. You don't hurt the case against them because they're being judged for what they do, not what you do.

Maybe take a break for a while and clear your head. Don't make a decision on leaving and until you've had time to reflect on all of this. Time changes the way you feel about things. :)

No-one wants you to leave.

I'm the person who criticized you the hardest, so let me come out now and say this: I never, ever had an issue with you personally. I disagreed with what you posted, but I did not hate you, or any other mods here, and I never wanted you to fuck off. I want you to stick around and carry on being the supportive, productive member of the community you are. You've made a bunch of awesome posts that I upvoted the hell out of, so please don't ever think this was some personal thing.

It sucks you're going through some rough shit, but there are people here who can support you if you reach out to them. If you ever need to vent, offload some shit or just want a general chat, PM me whenever you like. I still respect you and want to make sure you're ok.

Shit can get heated every now and then, but don't let that cut you off from people who want to look out for you.

Awww Mod-bro! I never saw what you did so won't comment, but I don't think you have to leave, your input and insight here is fantastic!

I don't want you to leave, but if you feel you must then I'll bid you a fond farewell!

jakezorz · 1時間前

I have no idea what happened, but I think you do a great job as a mod and you always come off as a pleasant person, FWIW.

JF_Manatane · 45分前

Take a break, get away from this mess. When you see how much fucked up are things over the web for a while now, you can be sure that even the person with the best intents would take a toll of some sort. Come back in a few days but don't left the ghazi community! You did a mistake, yes, but you'rer not branded for that by us. But if you go for awhile, please come back.

koronicus · 31分前

I don't think it's fair to beat yourself up over this. It's not your fault that there are people who will jump at any opportunity to discredit anyone who criticizes them. Someone was misleading GG, and you tried to point that out. I never saw the first thread, but the second one seemed entirely reasonable. The subreddit definitely isn't ruined, and you're fine in my book. Good people, even.

I don't understand fully what happened but we all make mistakes. Take a break and hopefully see you back around here too. You generate the bulk of oc around here.

blahblahwordvomit · 1時間前

I think maybe taking a break isn't the worst idea.

I don't think you should consider yourself shunned forever and ever.

Stolles · 15分前

The difference here is you acknowledged your mistake and owned up to it, you don't have to leave. I don't think anyone here wants you to leave. A lot of people will turn a blind eye or try to argue till they're blue in the face to defend themselves, you realized what you did which is more than I can say for a lot of people out there.

Gators might try to use this against you but just know that you did all you could, gators will bring up issues from the dead to argue their points, they're not looking for anything other than spite, hate and to be right all the time. There is no convincing those kinds of people so please don't let that affect you.

suberb_lobster · 7分前

lifestyled, I think you've done a fine job as a mod thus far. I've read your occasional posts about weird goings on in GG their attempts to mislead supporters. Exposing blatant lies and fraud is good. But this time you went digging too deep and came up with too much and at the same time too little. The info was sketchy, you posted too much data and the whole thing came off as cyberstalking. Even if this is a case of one guy pretending to be three separate devs, only the gullible are going to be impressed by some no-accounts supporting GG anyway. It doesn't matter. You should have consulted the other mods before putting that post up. They would have probably advised you not to do it.

jean-sol_partre · 5分前

If what you did really was doxxing, I don't think Ghazelles are the one you ought to apologize to.

You didn't ruin this sub. People here won't hate you. Gamergate is slowly waning into irrelevancy which it should never have left. They were already painting Ghazi as a circle of hell anyway and most of us don't care.

However I think that taking a break -not a final departure, just less emotional investment- is a good idea. It is not healthy at all to focus most of your life on this sorry piece of internet drama, especially when you're not one of the primary targets of harassment (that is, the LWs). Please do not forget that this very vocal mob consists of only a few hundreds cowards out of seven billion people.

The subreddit is fine. The decision of whether or not you should leave as a mod should be up to the other mods and you, in conversation. Don't believe you can single-handedly ruin it for everybody here. You have done more good than bad, and while KiA may rejoice, they aren't a measure for ethics I want to hold anybody up against.

Also, it may be good for all of us to remember that we aren't perfect, even if we may feel a bit morally superior from time to time.

When that is said: you have retired from Ghazi before, to deal with the stuff you experienced while working as a mod here. It might be a good idea to do so again, to regain some perspective. So go for a walk, make some pancakes, go to the library and find a book with pictures of cats, paint a really bad picture, repair your bike. Or the neighbour's bike. Water some flowers. When all of that is done, clean your room from ceiling to floor. Cleaning is always the right thing to do.

Then look around at your clean room that smells of pancakes, and think... "perhaps I should go say hello to my friends in 'ghazi. They may be talking about something else by now."

And the chance is very high that we will.

hugs for you, Lifestyled.

foxesforsale · 4分前

Take a break, lifestyled. Yeah you fucked up, but you're owning it and apologising. Stepping down as a mod is a good step, but I think you need to try take a week without Ghazi, without reddit if possible, and let your mind take a break before you come back. And when you do come back, you'll be welcome. You're still a valuable member of our little community.

Haz901 · 2分前

You fuck up, you get told off, you learn and when you think you've learnt it all, you fuck up again. That's the perpetual circle of life.

Hell, look at me, telling people own their fuckups and learn from them, I'm usually the one fucking up. I've sworn myself never to speak to certain people again, because I fucked up so bad. I'd never bother them again. But then, a week, two weeks a month or two years later even, they reached out to me.

Sometimes, no matter how much you think you've fucked up, how much you think other people hate you, everything can be normal again, as long as you remember to learn from your fuckups. And remember, everyone else is human as well, on a long enough timeline, the probability of anyone fucking up becomes one.

SRSthrowaway524 · 1時間前

Wait what? I, like most people, have no idea what this is in reference to. Either way, people make mistakes and you can always take time off when your mind is in a better place.

MrTomFTW · 1時間前

What now with the who now?

garbagefiredotcom · 1時間前

xoxoxoxoxoxo everyone fucks up man take it easy.

but definitely definitely definitely also find another hobby or community or something maybe IRL.

too much of this shit just eats you up, we're just amateurs who have a hobby of amateurishly studding borderline criminal mob behaviour; it's not a hobby that makes anyone a better person.

well.. maybe a little bit is ok, but it is like starring lovingly into the abyss; it's pretty weird.

We really do find the very worst pieces of shit and then immerse ourselves in what they do as though their shitty culture is everywhere. it messes anyone up.

sionava · 1時間前

Don't crucify yourself, lifestyled. People make mistakes, and the good ones recognise it when it happens and try to do something about it. I can fully understand and respect someone who's in a moderator position like yourself wanting to step down, but you don't have to go into exile or anything. :)

Take a breather. It'll be ok.

casersatz · 1時間前

I'm sorry to see you go. I have always respected your work here.

Next "Gamergate" (and ugh, there will be one...) we'll all be able to start fresh, having learned from our experiences here on how we can all be the best allies possible. I hope you're a part of it when that time comes.
