I saw this random r/ModSupport post and was surprised that an admin accidentally revealed a random admin account.
Reddit got caught unprepared by the protests, they are probably working on a shadow mod feature and forgot to hide it from the log. Deleting an already removed post is a fairly inconspicuous way to demo the feature.
After mods, bans, and shadow bans, we have shadow mods. We should have expected it.
This sounds like the progression of a story arc in a terrible anime, honestly.
Next they’ll get superbans and eventually supermods

u/PossibleCrit:Hey spiceydog!
This is indeed someone on the safety team.
I’ll let them know that the username is appearing in the log.
Translation: “fuck we got caught manipulating our site again. I’m going to tell them to be more careful”
Translation:
Hey spiceydog,
tell us how our dicks taste 🖕😂🖕
