MODERATORS
 

Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

I've actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.

Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That's not any better is it?

How much furry porn did you have to see in all these years?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Genuinely once or twice in 8 years. People knew the rules.

But the rules around NSFW content were a point of contention, i placed the bar a lot lower than most people in the community would have it. To the point that there was huge controversy a couple times, and i realized that they saw me more as a cop than a janitor. People really wanted to see rabbit hole

Zootopia was fun, but I can't imagine anyone being a hardcore fan and not being a furry. So I can imagine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

There was a mix actually, a lot of users would say they weren't furries. I can't guess the proportion

To me, the fact that r/zootopia was the biggest Disney movie subreddit and never stopped growing is entirely due to it having an umbilical cord to the furry fandom. You can also say that the Zootopia fandom was a good place for normies that were too straight to be furries, and you can say that the Zootopia fandom was step 1 of the pipeline that leads to owning a fursuit and a canine butt plug. All three were probably true.

I just realized i typed this whole comment in past tense, but uh, the Zootopia fandom still exists. And r/zootopia still exists. I don't know i don't have object permanence

Exactly the first question popping into my mind

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

There was a dedicated Zootopia porn subreddit, and it was bigger than the SFW one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Moderation is still a lot of thankless work. I think it's pretty cool as long as you enjoyed doing it and weren't shackled to it. :)

Not here, anyway
