Let’s say a Reddit admin announces that they are a Reddit admin. What do you think will happen? How would people react?

    Well, I would welcome said admin on the glorious Fediverse and ask how the last few weeks must have been. No need to act like a rabid redditor. We must be better. (Then watch the admin burst into tears, because that was their first friendly human interaction in years)

      I too would be very interested in what they have to say, but assuming they’re not Spez, they are just another person working a job there.

      I’m glad that you are one of those who isn’t revenge hungry. I was concerned that if they introduced themselves, the mods everywhere would ban them in an act of revenge.

    I think you’d be better received if you just said you were racist or a bigot… personally IDC if they’re here but if one were to announce as such, I think a shitstorm would forever follow their account. Not the kind of clout one usually seeks.

    Most famous people don’t go around letting others know of their social media presence. Anonymity is underrated.

    I’m not sure that they would be able to cope to be honest. The power that being an admin, small as it may be, is abused systemically in that organisation. Not sure what they would do if they couldn’t mute/ban anyone and everyone around them.
