More explanation for the drama. dai-lo has been only a mod for a few months, yet in this last few weeks, vast majority of the members who have ever done anything substantial has been banned from the sub or heavily shut out from the sub.
He is the world greatest power tripper. This is his current policy.
- Anyone who he disagree with on opinion, immediately gets his comment removed.
- Anyone who voices any dissents against his actions gets banned.
- Even more ridiculous, anyone who simply fraternize and sympathize with the ones who are unfairly banned, faces comment removals and bans.
I am sure many of you have seen that many comments has been quietly removed in the past few weeks. They are actually not white trolls, but normal AM comments, except dai-lo disagrees with it. Maybe you have noticed several frequent user never showing up again. That's because they were banned arbitrarily.
The following is just a small snippet of all the people he has banned. But note that there were basically anyone who ever carried forth any projects beyond the sub.
- /u/dtmuniversal [1] - owns real life businesses to promote and sponsors Asian MMA fighters. He created from scratch real life alternative media to give Asian representation. He was the OG whistle blower on make it pop fiasco, which is basically the thing that ignited most of our outrage. 1[2] 2[3] 3[4]
- /u/arcterex117 [5] - created from scratch and funds Kulture media watchdog[6] for asian americans out of his own pocket. thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of his time while holding down a senior management job. Top scoring post[7] on r/am[8] of all times. Literally the biggest real life organization that came from the sub.
- /u/neonfuzion_ [9] - several hundred hours while going to school. Compiled wiki, admins slacks and owned other off-reddit AM inspired forums. He led the effort to compile and edit some of the most important posts, comments (i.e. many of /u/disciple888 [10] 's writings) for posterity. asianmasculinity.org[11] (Work in progress site)
- /u/countercom2 [12] - research and wrote multiple exposes and compiled media analysis on asians. Extensive research on all Asian vs western media, way before r/am[13] was ever created, hundreds of hours over years. Top kulture media writer/editor.
The final straw apparently is this when we tried to recruit more people into our slack by sending out a mass email to the mailing list (created entirely by /u/arcterex117 [14] might I add). Apparently this is an unacceptable threat to his power[15] .
We have never seen someone who is just the moderator of a sub of 6k people being such an ego-tripping douchebag, fighting petty power politics, in lieu of actually promoting and growing the community and seeing the bigger picture. How can you power trip when given such a tiny bit of power and there are so many other things for us to do? Mods on subs with millions of users don't even fire petty insults and abuse their power in this way.
We can only conclude that he feels threatened towards anyone who is even slightly more successful than him and done more than him, and recompensate with venomous words and personal insults.
Please post your ban messages to illustrate the pathetic pettiness.
