From what I’ve seen a lot of them are trolling the admins in the replies.
Stuff like:
As a former mod, I think there is no better choice for a new moderator of r/malefashionadvice than myself. My plan for the subreddit is simple. It’s time to put “male” back in malefashionadvice. That means mandatory penis inspections before anyone is allowed to give advice or post in WAYWT. If high school sports teams can do it, why can’t we? Thank you for your consideration.
I would like to moderate this subreddit. I think getting rid of third party apps and removing the mfa mod team were awesome decisions and I want to expand on those ideas as a new and improved mod. First obviously we would institute bans on anyone who has participated in the misguided reddit protests. Second to make sure that reddit is effectively monetizing we will ban direct links to clothing websites and instead link through a new reddit shopping portal. Lastly i would ban the word scab, its distracting people from the content.
I’d like to be a mod because I think Spez is a dishonest creep, as is everyone involved in the ModCodeofConduct account, and I pledge to do my very best to burn all your efforts to the ground.
There’s obviously going to be some begging for it, but I can’t tell which of those are actually wanting it, or pretending to want it just to troll more.
Exactly. Of all those I graduated with, the ones that became cops were all either meatheads or were bullied by the meatheads. The hall monitor type would also for sure make sense
Huh. I wonder why. It’s loading in all of my clients - but, then, I was subscribed to a community on feddit.de, and it disappeared on me about a week later (I simply can’t get to it). I figured there were some defederation shenanigans going on, on one side or the other, but maybe midwest.social is having some issues instead.
I try to not care about problems with social networking; I find it’s easier to maintain my chill that way.
It looks like your instance is still federated with them: https://midwest.social/instances. The community might have just been deleted altogether. You can verify by checking the modlog, which is publicly accessible with Lemmy.
You probably uploaded your profile picture before a pictrs rollback, which would mean it appears for all of your clients and browsers that have cached it but if you pull up an incognito window it’ll likely be missing. You’ll have to re-upload it for them to show for anyone else. Cheers!
More replies than I thought there would be. Are those volunteers?

People that have so little going on in life that moderating a community on reddit is fun
I’ve always thought they wanted the power like cops or something
Pretty much the Hall Monitor that would rat you out if you didnt have a pass. They always ended up as cops/jailers

Some trolling but there are always people who will jump at any opportunity to “take over” a community and it’s almost always for the wrong reasons.
Also just a heads up that your user icon isn’t loading from your home instance nor mine.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks! I’ll check that.
Also, in case you’re wondering what it looks like (it’s the same from lemdro.id and midwest.social) :).
That is my avatar. Black, like my soul.
I need to re-upload it.
Interesting…
