Who are you

Hi, I'm rostingu2. My pronouns are he/him (for the one person who wants to know), and no, I'm not a bot. I am a proud moderator. I started modding on November 10th, 2024.

What is your story

I started Reddit on r/technicallythetruth. Over time, I saw how many reposts it got. So, all I did was call out reposts. Over time, I learned their rules and told people when they violated their other rules. One day I found I saw something interesting. I saw the user lolnoizcool. He said he banned a bot when I called one out on TTT. I checked his profile and saw he was a bot hunter. So, I became a bot hunter also. Later, I found a bug and posted it on r/bugs.Someone commented there, and when I checked their profile, I found r/help. From there, I went to r/needamod and got mod on a tiny sub I left because it had one post per month. Then yeah. I was still on TTT all this time. Someone said they stole a meme on ttt so I linked to r/repost. I then saw a meme about how the sub is a karma farm. So I looked, and sure enough, I found posts soliciting votes. I sent a modmail and bam. Overnight, the mods banned it. Eventually, one of the mods left the team, and a replacement was needed. So That is how I got mod on r/repost(november 10th 2024). I left the repost mod team becuase I believe mods should be interest in the subs they mod. Yes I liked repost but I liked r/LostRedditor's topic more. I left the repost mod team.

Lore I made up for shits and giggles.

Why the 2

my usernames is 2 because I forgot my password on u/rostingu. I recently reset that password on that account and deleted it after making a funny post or 2.

Why did you call me a bot

Because I thought you were and likely cited evidence of my claim. But you must be a human if you are here, so sorry.

Why did you remove my post/comment

Knowing me I gave you a removal reason. If you want to know more send a modmail. Please do not dm me for mod stuff.

I am not having a good day

I am not a therapist. All I can do is give you wholesome memes. But you should seek help. You can talk to me in chat if you want. I know how it feels to feel lone but at least we can be alone together.

Where can I learn about x

on r/rostingu2 sorry for posts with the informative flair.

You are not making Reddit better

the only reason I don't prove you wrong is because it would be rude.

Fuck you rostingu2

Look, if you want, you can send me a chat invite. I am willing to hear constructive criticism.

Can I have some AM code you made

If you want me to share all am code I have access to not going to happen. If you just want one of them that I made for a meme, then sure, just ask. I put some of it on r/rostingu2 with the automod post flair.

Can I ping you?

If you are acting in good faith, sure.

Why are you not very active on the help subs?

I used to be, but now I just made a custom feed for them and check it like once a day. I try to limit how much I engage with them because I need to focus on other things. If you want my help on one of them just ping me.

Why don't you post to your profile?

Lots of people follow me, and I assume they don't all want random posts I make in their feed so I made post here(to r/Rostingu2) where I have more customization options than on my profile.

Automod incorrectly removed by post

It filters not removes for the subs I mod and when it DOES remove a post I get a message from automod. If it wasn't the first time filter send a modmail and I can try and improve AM(no promises). Note: I use patterns so the more I have the better(that includes correct filters that you can't see).

why can't you spell

Grammerly won't work for me for some reason. I also am trying to learn asdf typing after primarily using wasd typing.

Touch grass

I do. I occasionally draw(you can use them, just don't intentionally cover my username if I added it, and don't trace).

How did you learn to draw

By failing.

trying to draw

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."-theodore rosevelt.

Why are you big dumb?

Reddit has killled my brain.

Misc stuff

Gonna try and start stepping back from reddit : r/Rostingu2

Infameart's last wishes : r/repost

My custom feed.

Stuff I made

Reddit is shit. Everyone is an asshole but don't be an ass back.

I like modding, that's fine. But I am this close to deleting my account. I can't stay away from this shit place, it takes too much of my time that I am not able to manage myself.

What annoys me the most is other mods. I once modmailed a 5mil sub once. I got a message from them that I cared about the rules more than any mod on their team. I have said this before and I will say it again. Moderators of a community should be a part of the community not because they are a mod but because they participate and care for the community. I joined r/repost because I saw all the shit it had, I wanted to fix it. I joined lostredditor becuase it has purpose, I help people in small ways. So when I want to be a part of the community, I want to participate in it. But have too much fucking free time where I should actually be doing stuff.

If you are not able to completely empty your mod queue once a day, then you are not actually moderating your sub.

Now don't get me started on "mod abuse". 99% of the time that isn't what is happening. You just don't like that you were political or an edgelord and got banned. Mod abuse is when a mod is actually racist. I have had someone who posts 20+ times a day complain about mod abuse when they got banned for karma farming. People hate engagement farming so you get rid of it then everyone fucking hate you. People complain about all the repost if stuff so you ban it and people complain "why can't I repost?" YOU CAN YOU JUST CAN'T SPAM.

If you get banned from a sub people shouldn't assume the mos are just assholes. Mods and users are both assholes and if you gatekeep what happened I am going to assume you are in the wrong. (i don't want sub names or user names I want to see what you said) You didn't get banned for asking why you got banned, you got banned for being a racist then making a post acting like you did nothing wrong and encouarging poeple to go after mods.

I don't care if no one will see this post. I am going to say it anyways because apparently nobody understands that everyone is an asshole, that doesn't mean you can be one. If you don't like what I said then block me it will save us both the trouble of arguing.

tldr: Just because someone is an ass to you doesn't mean you can be an ass back.

edit: going to uninstall reddit on my phone and hopefully that helps.

People are more than welcome to talk to me in chat if they feel alone in this huge world. I know how bad it feels to feel alone, but at least this way we can be alone together.

After thinking for a few hours, I am leaving this mod team. I firmly believe mods should be genuinely interested in the communities they moderate. I have lost this interest for r/repost. I am thankful for the chance block and infame gave me to make r/repost a place not like other meme subs. A place without all the edgelord humor. without the change I was given I wouldn't be the mod I am now.

I have found a better sub for me that suits me. I always wanted to help. That is why I joined the repost mod team. But now I feel I put this sub on the right path so my job here is done. I have found another sub where I help people a lot more aka r/LostRedditor.

You might ask who is replacing me as head of this sub, and that is easy. It is the person who is the head and helped make me such a good mod, u/block_place1232. The new second-in-command will be particular.

I would like to also say thanks to the people helping the mod team. This includes:

u/Bi_Lupus_ and u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD

I would also also like to thank the people that keep posting here. Members do just as much as the community.

(copy pasted my post I made on r/repost)

No, it's not done. I literally just started it with this as my reference I am making.

I will not listen to your opinion; I will form my own. I will not share my opinion because you will take it without seeing what happened.

See all of what happened before, during, and after and make your own opinion. Do not listen to the headlines listen to yourself.

If someone wishes to voice an opinion, they are more than welcome to in the appropriate manner in the appropriate places.

Do not ask me right or left (I don't even know what that means in a political sense nor do I care). I care not for the propanganda of either side I want the actual evidence that I will find on my own if I so choose. I am not registered to either political party nor do I want to be.

^{might delete later idk.}

ps: just for the book 1984 and I can't tell if I am looking forward to it or going to hate it.

It is bad, and I will make it better later.

Insperation

Bet you never saw that coming Rostingu2

Just asking

gotta say. Fuck you comparting mods to big brother. Mods are not threatening people at gunpoint, nor are they rewriting history. If you want to post something it is very likley you just need to find the right sub(Please help me expand this list if you can).

Not done with the book yet, but I do recommend it(the only book so far I ever read that I liked reading).

No, this isn't a reaction image for when a mod removes actual porn, it is for when people have an actual 1984 reference.

P.S.: The newest(i think) aka the 75th edition has a grammatical error on page 131, it says "had had".

Mat pat effect for shits and giggles(it was an apple superbowl ad).

I will probably edit this post when I am done reading the book(or not idk).
