  • I can state one secret community that’s been inactive since 2015.

    TheTrumanPlan

    Every 6 or so months a random redditor was picked and the whole subreddit would set up scenarios to involve the Truman.

    One example was when they made a whole subreddit for a band one of them liked. Once they found out the Truman joined, the subreddit was immediately privated.

    They then began messing with him by

    1: Pretending the sub got sponsored by a Korean ship company

    2: make the Truman think there was an song from the band that they all loved but didn’t exist.

    3: Fake an AMA with a band member from the band and then have them mention the fake song

    4: Have that Korean shipping company post that the AMA was fake and state they are not sponsoring the subreddit anymore.

    5: Not noticing that they were slowly fading in Jim Carrey’s face into the sidebar image for weeks and then telling the subreddit he was getting a tattoo of it. They all freaked out when they got told he got the tattoo I think lol.

    That was all just from the first Truman I think. There were 7 more after that.

    Here are the full megathreads from back then over the first two people picked. https://imgur.com/a/oHmC1NW







  • Reddit never gave a shit about the users tbh.

    I once modded a sub that got brigaded by some shitheads and they ended up harassing one mod who posted about her father that just died.

    Begged the admins in private messages to help us stop this bullshit and they never did anything.

    Later we added a mod who we removed when he found he created hate subreddits. That guy then led another brigage against the sub by lying about why we removed him.

    Admins didn’t help again :/

    Eventually that shithead got permy banned from Reddit for making those hate subs but that took months after I asked for help.
