r/dndmemes mod u/Dalimey100 is a fucking legend

u/Dalimey (who appropriately identifies as "LAWFUL STUPID" shared a warning from reddit admins issuing their final warning against making the sub NSFW (despite the fact that the users of the sub are in full support). They promised to reply to it with "roll for persuasion or intimidation" if they got 10k upvotes, and here is the result. Outstanding move.

He sounds like a fucking nerd lol
- You better give me a stealth check with disadvantage if you’re trying to sneak in here with that username.
  
  Darn I was hoping I'd get a few more angry messages before someone noticed lol.
- he mods a dnd subreddit.
  
  Hint - check his username
  
  Not for long!
- Believe it or not out of all the class options nerd has the biggest stat bonuses and passives
- Fucking legend
- Glad to see you! Didn't you say you were the only mod on /r/dndmemes? That must have been rough. Hopefully your stay here or wherever you end is goes well!
  
  I'm not the only mod, there's a solid group of who chat regularly in a discord, but I am historically the most active (although spicythuder is doing amazing work, if this was a competition they'd be winning rn lol) and do most of the public facing stuff.
- The best kind of nerds. 😈
- You’re an absolute legend.
- slow clap
- Sometimes I miss being able to gild comments
  
  🏅
  
  It’s hard to show how much I love this post with a single upvote
  
  Agreed. I hope that eventually becomes a feature.
  
  You miss giving Reddit money? Interesting.
- Good thing we love nerds around here :)
- Lmao he sure does. Your… friend.
- Nerds are the nicest people on this planet.

  I appreciate what you did, thank you for being such a legend.
For what it's worth, the admins won't actually see that, they disabled responses on those messages. That's why it says "private moderator note", it's a note only the mod team can see

(It's still funny, though)
- I just assumed admins can see the private mod notes.
  
  You shouldn’t make any assumptions that depend on Reddit functioning properly or there being any logic to its disjointed systems lol
  
  Admins can see absolutely everything on the site, I assume
  
  Can? Yes. Do they? Probably not.
  
  You can go the NCD route and actively send a response (in their case it really was justified as the sub should have been nsfw to begin with), but in the end they also folded.
  
  I'm sure they have access to them.
- I’m guessing they’ll see it now 😏
- Admins even having the ability to disable replies on DMs is pretty telling.
Why are all those people giving Reddit money by buying awards for that post?
- There’s a significant chunk of power users that have spare Reddit coins from multiple sources, not necessarily bought
  
  Yup that’s me, never spent a cent and when Alien Blue shut down I received coins and some other shit. I didn’t realise for years that I could give awards 😂
- I subscribed to Reddit premium before the whole clusterfuck. If you're on Premium you might have a big pool of coins to spend on awards even after you cancel it.
  
  I actually like awards a lot. I think it's an especially reasonable idea as a tip jar for the people running an instance. I'd be happy to give a small recurring contribution to instances I like, and if it gave me the ability to identify things I really like I'd consider that gravy.
  
  You could open an issue on Lemmy's GitHub for this feature. It sounds really interesting. The developers should be aware of such features and how many people are interested on them.
- Reddit gives em out for free. I had a handful but just never used em.
How many legendary resistances does he get?
- Probably none. This is like a peasant trying to stand up to Lolth. I admire the lack of shits given in the face of a ban.
  
  Absolute legend either way.
- idk all of them
The only content worth following on Reddit is this drama, and this post (being nsfw) can’t be accessed by 3PAs.

Admins dun goof’d. They got rid of the best people on the site.
battle of reddit mods vs. Reddit Inc. ? Hmm 🍿
- Reddit vs Their Product (feat. Customers, Contributers, Moderators, Advertisers)
Make him a mod here on Lemmy.
- Check the mod list. They are very efficient, I guess.
Legend.
Chad move!
Aww Reddit keep plummeting that valuation you are doing great!
I still didn't get my blackmail on /r/mushing dammit! Got one for making it private. I'm waiting for the NSFW blackmail for two weeks now! What gives?
- It'll come. Just takes a while because the admins are forced to use their own app with crappy moderation tools.
- Yeah. it's not fair. We were promised threats, damnit! It's insulting to be ignored.
- u/spez doesn't think your sub is important enough. Sorry!
  
  He did a week ago. It is the last thing I come back to reddit for, to be able to tell modcodeofconduct and spaz to fu#k off.
