Context: in r/Minecraft mods told a guy to stop milking the death of his wife for karma after he made two posts about building a memorial for her

Minor correction: It was his girlfriend, not wife.

Oh, thanks for clearing that

u/Beginning_Clue_7835 Dec 03 '22
Probably should edit the post to clear that up for people not seeing this.

Does the distinction make a difference?

u/Beginning_Clue_7835 Dec 03 '22
One has way more commitment, and for those of us who saw the original posts, we immediately recognize that this isn’t what happened, so it would seem as though the poster is trying to make it sound even more dramatic than it already is. And why are you asking me? I’m not the one who pointed it out.

u/Vivistolethecheese Dec 03 '22
Well, I wouldn't say one has way more commitment, but it was false information and it's important to report correctly.

u/Beginning_Clue_7835 Dec 03 '22
You can leave a girlfriend anytime you want. It takes a court to stop being husband wife, and a lot of times someone has to pay the other. But the most important thing is as you stated, it’s false information.

The only difference between a girlfriend and a wife is a signed document. It doesn't matter at all in this context.

u/Beginning_Clue_7835 Dec 03 '22
And consent. Who’s to say she wanted to be married? Your also k my describing the difference between becoming a wife. Actually being married provides a lot of benefits recognized by the government.

u/stebo_02 Dec 03 '22
how's all of this relevant to this situation?

u/Beginning_Clue_7835 Dec 03 '22
How is “wife is the same as GF minus paperwork” relevant to a post where someone falsely called the guys dead girlfriend a wife? Some of us gave him suggestions on the original post, and we know what happened. Welcome to the conversation, it was a GF not a wife, let’s not spread false info.

Unsubbed from the subreddit since that. Messaged mods myself that they were despicable and was immediately muted within a minute. That whole mod team is a wreck and ruins a decent enough sub with their disgusting power trip.

u/HelenAngel Dec 02 '22
That’s really sad but unsurprising. I worked at Mojang Studios for a little over 5 years & they derived great pleasure from attacking people who worked at the studio, as well as continuing to spread harmful misinformation.

u/_moobear Dec 03 '22
okay but if you're messaging mods insulting them out of the blue then they're absolutely in their rights to mute you. That adds nothing and they don't have to put up with random assholes. I'll agree that they handle other situations poorly but in that case you were the AH

u/bpal1991 Dec 03 '22
Lol. They haven’t answered for the bullshit they do. Getting ugly messages is the least of their problems.
Mods are supposedly humans as well. Saying something as hurtful as stop milking your gf’s death required a much serious consequence and far more than an apology.
Stop sucking their dick please. Enough virtue signalling.

u/thwartedtart Dec 03 '22
Didn’t know defending someone who lost their life partner and was made fun of for it was being an asshole. You learn something new every day.

If i dm you calling you despicable would you be wrong to block me

u/King-Cobra-668 Dec 03 '22
you're not that smart are you?
calling someone despicable for being despicable isn't insulting someone out of the blue

u/Illustrious-Bug-2513 Dec 03 '22
Yeah, it's not out of the blue but you can't be surprised when they mute you

r/minecraftmemes , but even that server has just become like a minecraftcirclejerk sub

u/Yak_a_boi Dec 03 '22
I left that one. Everyone kept posting about the brand new "19.84" update and kept bitching about chat reports. Because apparently it's the end of the world if you get banned for saying the hard r.
1
u/Maxwell_The__Spy Dec 03 '22
i remember that people were bitching about getting banned even though they didn't say any slur or insult
did it devolve into them bitching because they can't say slurs?
2
u/Yak_a_boi Dec 03 '22
Yeah, people were complaining that they couldn't make "dark jokes" on their servers anymore because of the chat report, even though it was a small server with friends.

u/Maxwell_The__Spy Dec 03 '22
bro wtf happened to that sub? i've been missing from it for a few months and it went to shit

u/Yak_a_boi Dec 03 '22
I haven't been there in a while it might have changed, but I doubt it. Minecraft is one of the most toxic fan bases

Putting aside basic human decency: It's a sub devoted to a game where the primary focus is player content... and they've made it an offence to promote player content.
10,000 IQ right there.
BRB, I'm gonna message the r/DOOM mods that they should start banning all posts containing violence or gore.

u/winnipeginstinct Dec 03 '22
And they encourage the harassment of official game devs for the focus game too... truely ♾ iq

The type of person you would want moderating a sub is not the type of person who would ever want to moderate a sub. That’s always been the problem.

u/Joystation_ Dec 03 '22
Recently there was a post there from a young man about his Halloween costume that had hundreds of comments just bullying the OP. He was obviously young, like maybe an early teen, and the mods wouldn't lock the thread. I reported the post and said, "he's obviously a kid, and it's just a bunch of bullies." The mod responded with, "well, let's hope he's not because kids aren't allowed on reddit," and proceeded to do nothing about the behavior.

We apologise for the continued fault in the reply. Those responsible for sacking those who were originally sacked, have been sacked.

I thought them removing the redstone computer for "promotion" (it contained a shout out to a server that let the guy build it with a higher tic rate) was bad, what the hell.

oof, what cnts... just shows how detached from the real world some reddit mods are. They place so much value on karma that they think everything revolves around it.

Jesus Christ bro. Reddit has become a toxic cesspool the same as Twitter but then we sit over here and pretend we’re better.

Reddit as a whole is run by unpaid volunteer mods recruited from the worlds largest community of socially inept bedroom hermits. What could go wrong?

u/xXyeahBoi69Xx Dec 03 '22
Redditors have a problem with using their life's tragedies for karma. Like it's a strange mental illness that shouldn't be supported
2
u/Avocado_Fucker12 Dec 04 '22
But I don't think there is a reason to believe that everyone is farming karma. I think when a loved one dies, specially if it's sudden, people have very different reactions and asking Reddit for a memorial is one of them.

Nah, those weak people need to get slapped back to reality. Nobody wants to see their stupid memorials. Its a godamn game, keep their sentimentalities about dead people out.

The removed a post from an actual Minecraft dev yesterday about an upcoming update. Awful mods on that sub.
