With my recent de-modding and ban from the DnDMemes sub, I now have plenty of time to touch grass and help grow this community/instance. AMA I guess?

Honestly, fuck spez and the rest of the admin team.

You are a legend for what you did. They nat 1'd and instead of abiding by the roll, they flipped the table.

This is my first post on here thanks to the shit Admins pulled on you. How best do you recommend continuing the protest? Simply stop using reddit altogether, or is there a malicious compliance you recommend? My usage has gone down significantly since the API changes but I haven't been able to kick it altogether.

Legend. Just registered here too after the coward decision from Reddit Admins. Other than cats and NCD I'm barely active now.

Thank you for your service. Fuck the admins.

Would you be interested in starting a shortstack-and-snitty friendly community, either on this instance or elsewhere on Lemmy? I know it started as a protest, but a genuine (albeit horny) community sprung up really quickly. A lot of users, myself included, legitimately enjoyed what it was shaping into these past couple of days, where normal memes were getting posted alongside horny ones. It made the sub a really enjoyable sex-positive space that wasn't solely dedicated to sex, and there are not many of those.

I have a spicy question for you!

...did you have a favourite NSFW meme I made?

Hello! Here’s Question.

… how did you do it? How did you transcend fear,pain death and become immortal?

Asking for a friend.

But more seriously thank you so much for what you did. You set an example.

And it wasn’t just about goblin tits ( and throbbing bugbear wang).

It was about resisting illegitimate execution of authority and the sub became a really cool sex positive space. ( possibly not the mods intent, but it happened.)

Anyway, I do have one final question.

For people who support you and the original mods and also the remaining mods…

What do you suggest we do?

Abandon that sub completely and just come here and try to make it really active or… what?

🙏❤️

They really should lock that sub down, migrate to a full NSFW sub, and leave all new posts pending mod approval with a message from automod directing them to here or the new sub.

I am livid as the erasure of the snitties and all the amazing goblin mode posting. While this network might not want to go NSFW like that, I was personally all on board with the eventual 10% NSFW memes that seemed to be settling in before the interference.

Serious question: Which DND races did you enjoy seeing fuck/be fucked and will you be encouraging that DISGUSTING (👀) behaviour here?

Because I'll be honest... I kinda enjoyed the smut.

A king till the very end. A hero who went out with a blast. In a word: based.

Did the Reddit admins ever roll that persuasion or intimidation check? If so, was it just a regular fail or a nat 1?

I just joined this website and I am very glad to join along for the ride. I hope more subreddits follow this kind of alternative and delete their subs so Reddit can be left in the dust from barely having anything left to see. Would be a justified end for their greed.

What was your initial reaction when they suddenly created a rule to fire you and blacklist you from being mod again out of nowhere? Must have been quite the surprise, albeit not unexpected.

Fuck Spez , I have bailed out of Reddit , it is beyond saving because structurally it is built on a flawed concept of assuming benevolent admins who work for the good of the community , and that is no longer the case , they are too far gone to be able to salvage value from that place and we are better off rebuilding better here.

You did a great job.

I have tried to repoint the tiny Wanderhome community on Reddit here to Lemmy for those that want to make the jump - but given most of the activity is on Discord, it is not very lively here yet!

What are a handful of your favourite D&D memes at the moment?

Cheers for moving over! I'll almost miss the 50/50 nature of that sub being NSFW

Dunno where else to drop it, so I'll put it here: props to you for using this opportunity to finally "fix" the name from dndmemes to general rpgmemes. Lord knows that debate went on for years longer than it should've

It's kind of pathetic they don't even pretend to care about their own rules anymore.

I just hope we can turn this place into a better alternative!

Ama related; What's the thing your players did that caused the biggest "Oh. NO. They did that?!" reaction you've had

A legend to the very end, you and the other mods helped keep the fire alive.

Is it hard to walk with those iron balls between your legs.

For real though. Thanks for your efforts and making a stand.

AMA I guess

Have you tried Pathfinder?

Now the meme's out of the way, how are you finding modding on Lemmy so far?

What was it like to be a mod for a community that has more than a million users?

Any thoughts on having the main DNDmemes sub very very very actively signpost people to join here?

You god damn hero. Thank you for your service.

do you have a particular fave meme from the NSFW storm you were able to save before the purge? if so, could you show us? all for research purposes of course...

I am so sorry to see you and the others go. I can't believe they perma banned folks and not just demodded them. I am gonna miss all that smut!

Sorry to hear about your ban, it was an honorable protest. What was your favorite meme that you saw in your time?

are you the guy who asked the admins to roll a dice for a iniative check? :D

Hat tip. Was the naming of the ttrpg.network deliberate ? Tittie RPG. Network ? or have i just been around snitties for too long ?

Hello. I would like to name a NPC in my campaign after you. Do you have any preference in class or race?

HE DOES IT FOR FREE LMAO

Thanks for all the work you put in, the frankly great content we got out of the NSFW protest, and for sticking to your guns. Took me a minute to figure out how to work this site, but I'm happy now that I'm here, and look forward to sticking around and seeing what nonsense we get up to here.

AMA

What's a moment you've really enjoyed in a game recently?

Are you in contact with the other two mods who got kicked? u/4cheese u/EquivalentInflation? How did the admins decide who got the hammer?

Thoughts on Snitties?

Just came here to say "fuck spez" and "thanks for the good times dalimey"

Absolutely pathetic how reddit handled this.

o7 You guys are doing a wonderful job Fuck Spez

I wasn't in that sub and I may be the only Lemmy user who doesn't play DnD, but even I've heard tales of your antics. Welcome to the Fediverse!

Thanks for helping with one of my favourite subs and being an awesome person all around. 👐

I don't have a question. I just wanted to tell you, you've got so much respect for what you did, even outside of the DnD community. I'm glad you did what you did, and I hope the rest of the mod team will join us here!

Glad to see you’re still around and not giving up on being a part of the community, I know it sucks being thrown out of something you’ve worked on for so long. Hopefully the community can successfully migrate over the next few weeks and we’ll be back to arguing over stupid rules every week.

got no question, just wanted to say you dropped this king 👑

What would spez character sheet look like?

No questions here, just saw the reddit post and came here to say massive respect to you

Genuine question dude, how did you grow such gigantic balls of absolute steel? Was it something special in your diet? Mad respect o7

I don't know anything about it, but you're probably better off this way.

Do you watch DnD content online (CriticalRole, Dimension 20, etc.)? If so, what's your favourite?

So how's the experience modding over here different than on reddit so far?

bang-bang, motherfucker!

Damn, so did the admins roll a 20?

Its pathetic what reddit is doing. Thank you for all your hard work.

When did you start using reddit, when did you start playing RPGs, and when did you start modding that sub?

Damn that's spicy. God speed, Dalimey

Anyone wanna fill me in on what Dalimey did?

There’s a good chance I’ve already read about it, and just don’t remember who to credit it to, but still.

Thanks for fighting the good fight!

Thank you for the hard work and dedication o7

Here's hoping this 'sub' and platform takes off!

Fuck those admins anyway!

Yes! Finally! A replacement for my beloved rule argument place.

My current game I run has evil megacorps in it because of course it does. If I were to include you as an NPC that stands up to one of these companies horrible practices from the inside and as a result gets taken out for the players to do their own ama speak with dead style, what kind of NPC would you like me to style it as?

So in the end you got removed.. I honestly have no idea how they want to do an IPO like that

No question, just wanted to say thank you! :)

Thanks for your work. :)

How does it feel to be a god? We all know you cannot kill a god, theirs was a grand and intoxicating innocence.

Thank you for being consequent!

HE LIVES

Hell yeah! Lil sad all the NSFW went missing but hey glad you're doing good and the community is migrating over

You have been given inspiration for your response to the auto-mod.

For an AMA, what has been the most memorable dnd meme you’ve come across?

I'm trying to make an account on ttrpg.network for when I'm not using kbin, but I keep getting a json invalid error when I click submit after putting in sign up info

Hey, thanks for all your work as a mod at the old place, and for taking up this community as well!

Given the recent ban on NSFW, I've fled for my life. New forum, who dis?

It sucks but it wasn't exactly unexpected. I salute you for sticking to your guns and protesting corporate bullshit in the most effective way you could.

Since Reddit is clearly saying that protesting within the system is not permitted, I'm going the only route left which is complete boycott. Unless I hear about them very publicly walking back policies and issuing a convincingly self deprecating apology (and I'm not holding my breath) I will not be using Reddit at all. They get no traffic from me, no demographic information, nothing that they can monetize, just nothing. I only really used it for the memes anyway so fuck 'em.

Also while I totally supported the entire NSFW protest angle I did very quickly grow tired of endless pictures of Kobold pussy and dragon dicks. "Sex positive" is one of those legitimate terms that is most often used by people who want to justify immature behavior. I supported that behavior as a form of protest but very quickly tire of such content when it's flooding a feed. Because I'm not twelve and every single one of those lewd/smut memes I saw was just the sort of juvenile "lookit da nekkids and s3xx0rz" garbage that amused me in middle school with people tacking on comically flimsy excuses to pretend it was serious intellectual content. The protest didn't work and I seriously won't mind if I don't see another goblin boob for some time.

What did those wankers that call themselves "Admins" roll for that Intimidation check?

ama I guess

Are you the Messiah or are you just a naughty boy? It's just I've bought this beard and I was hoping for a stoning...

You've been a great mod there, and I look forward to what you do here

What's your silliest roll?

Are the other mods coming here too?

Following up on that, can I still be a degenerate drow-stan? I need more jarlaxle in my life

Yay, now give us some sweet memes! I a. Just learning about DND and this community has been great so far.

mostly been lurking that sub for 3 years or so, it was fun while it lasted, but shit spez fucked it all up, nice to know theres a new home for me to lurk, anyway ima stealth back to the shadows. nice seeing you back dalimey

I tend to have a really bad mindset where I avoid places with little to no activity because I worry about giving the owner false hope. If nobody else shows up, I think that my presence might hinder their progress by preventing them from making necessary changes.

I need to get over it cos it's obviously wrong but keeps on my mind
