Hey, no baby, I didn't just ban some mods because they refused to do what I said, no way baby, I respect you too much for that! Now, you're going to stop dating that lemmy guy and come back to me, right? You know I love you. You know I would never ban a subreddit unless they broke the site wide rules, right? You need me, you know it's true.

But you can still see it on other instances. Or else this entire thing would be pointless.
