It was amusing when Voat booted them out by refusing to tolerate their power mod-y BS.
Watching that little civil war was entertaining.
Yet not a peep about spez surreptitiously editing user comments.
Not a peep from who? The community universally uses "spez:" instead of "edit:" to this day.
Fair enough. There was a lot of Drama from TD, and I'm pretty sure a signifigant slice of TD was TRDT's data mining/scientist campaign using bots to amplify semi-organic user input. That said, there was a lot of fuckery from the admins and mods in that and other reddit sagas, and the spez drama never materialized anything more than a half-assed apology for essentially violating some core principles that should be behind a privately run limited public forum.
TRDT?
I don't know but one of the top links on google for it is [1]this video, which is amazing.
