It's nothing surprising to me. This is what I assume Reddit was like before heavy moderation of subs many years ago, and what gets on the front page.
/r/trees used to be one of the most popular subreddits and used to frequently show up on /r/all (the 'frontpage' back then), followed by GoneWild communities iirc (at least that's how it felt like, I mean Spez was a moderator for Jailbait after all) I think Lemmy just doesn't hide it and so it's easier for people to click on and such.
what the fuck, spez was a moderator for jailbait?? on the /u/spez account or what?
You used to be able to assign mod position to a user without them having to accept it on reddit.
ah okay, so there's no proof he actually participated in the community?
The reddit admins did give violentacrez, the top mod of r/jailbait and other porn subreddits, a special "pimp daddy" award, so they are all still really gross people, but I just think it's important to criticize them for what they are actually responsible for.
Thank you for the clarification on this, I'll keep it in mind and noted.
