It's been one hell of a long and awesome ride guys, thank you for everything and please stay in touch. I leave you in the hands of very intelligent moderators, well versed in the reddit meta, with the ware-withal to uphold the core values of this subreddit and Aaron's dream. Peace out.

Well this sucks. Losing good mods is always bad. The good ones, the fair ones, the honest ones are doing good work and losing one hurts the cause.
But you have to live your life happily because its far too short to waste it dealing with assholes, dickheads, fuckwads, trolls, dipshits and morons.
So good luck and god's speed.

yea especially this mod!! i remember he rescued multiple posts of mine from being deleted !!
16 IntellisaurDinoAlien 2015-08-11
WTF? Take care bro.
31 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Life went from 0-100 very quickly.
I just can't do this anymore.
I'm sorry guys. I tried so hard but there's too many of them (SJW/SRS types) in the mod backrooms and I just can't win.
I'm not saddened though. The ethos on reddit is changing.
Look at rule 1 on /r/documentaries (love you guys), look at /r/technology (fuck you billyup, protodong is that nigga), look at worldnews (anu and max really are my heroes, guys please support them; that really is my final request. Make anu and max heroes like Aaron. They deserve it even if they are forced into silence by virtue of their diplomatic predisposition.)
It's em, dontago, err, praisebetoscience and tonedeaf that you need to watch out for in worldnews. they don't give a shit about you or anyone else (maybe em does, but she hangs out with those other fuckers too much. Same for err.)
really /u/fdev, what you inculcated on snoonet was dangerous and you know it. That you roll your eyes and pretend shit is all fucking butterflies and roses is an insult to my intelligence.
You guys will make this place great. Just not with me.
9 YoureAllRobots 2015-08-11
Life happens man, don't step in the shit. You've been a good leader and you will be missed.
9 iamagod_____ 2015-08-11
You were one of the real good ones. I'll miss you and your positive efforts, sir.
Do you consider this as the winning the battle, or you winning the (personal) war?
14 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Thank you for the kind words, you are abrasive but have an impact and are respectful when needed. That is important.
Any username I recognize with positive connotations is impressive. kudos bro.
I consider it moving on, and allowing reddit to run her natural course now that (imo) the hegelian dialectic is able to, once again, function as intended with regards to discursive legitimacy; insofar as I feel that those who were using their mod power to uphold an artificial thesis at the expense of organic historical progression have lost their power in the inner circles.
Reddit is free once again, and it had nothing to do with me. It was fuckers like Yishan and Steve working to throw out Advance Publications (and the sjw mentality that cupcake and friends inculcated on their behalf). Honestly, I bet Steve saw that fuck sears stuff (look it up on google) back in the day and hatched his plan. I love that dude. In a no homo kind of way.
Fuck Alexis though, fucking antique jetpack faggot.

Fuck /u/kn0thing
All links are created equal my ass.
I'm here without their permission. What are they gonna do block Tor?

Hey, good luck on the other side, see you around at voat. Were you 'IAmJulianAssange' in your time here? Love the shout out to AJ ;)

Are you going to continue to be involved in v/voat?
15 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Yes.

7 FranktheShank1 2015-08-11
same and he mods /v/conspiracy
2 RowdyRondaRousey 2015-08-11
Too bad shlubs like me can't get in because nobody invited me. Well fuck you, Voat. I don't need you or your elitist bullshit anyway.
4 baconn 2015-08-11
They couldn't afford the server costs of continued growth.
3 DrDougExeter 2015-08-11
They've opened registration at random times now. Just keep checking and you'll get in if you want to.
1 Mrg13 2015-08-11
Wait it's invite only now?
0 Maythan 2015-08-11
Yeah... Sad, but understandable.
1 Mrg13 2015-08-11
Guess people who signed up when it 1st started can still login.
0 FranktheShank1 2015-08-11
I didn't know it was invite only now...i've been there a year+ if i find any invites on my profile i'll let you know
1 Fuckyousantorum 2015-08-11
Thank god.
1 thesil3nce 2015-08-11
Hope to see you there after the decompression period, enjoy the time away from it all.
1 godiebiel 2015-08-11
Wait are you leaving reddit for voat ?
1 DrDougExeter 2015-08-11

4 IMissSplashyPants 2015-08-11
/u/anutensil is one of the only good default mods left.
5 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
/u/maxwellhill is a boss as well. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either ignorant, manipulating you, or a liar.
4 Haven 2015-08-11
Max is amazing people. We worked on /r/frugal together for several years until I stepped down.
4 madazzahatter 2015-08-11
AATA, I could care less about what you do on Reddit, 'cause it's nothing but a game for me.
You know I speak the truth when I say that, 'cause you know I'm just a user here, aint no player, got no weight.
What I do care about is the guy or gal behind the username...you.
Fuck alla this bro, but Jesus Fucking Christ, please take care of yourself.
Anytime you need me, call me out publicly or privately (via PM)
Life's a beach, so I'll meet you at the sandbar.
-big wave-
2 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Yayy I love you like a bro mad!
Thank you so much for everything and please heed Aaron's warning while you continue to forge a path all your own on wn.
:)
One love bro. Really.
5 IMissSplashyPants 2015-08-11
This warning? http://mic.com/articles/38635/aaron-swartz-interview-video-months-before-his-suicide-he-warned-corporations-could-censor-the-internet
4 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Yes
2 madazzahatter 2015-08-11
AATA, you know I'm here for you, always have been.
Some people will say how they've been at the bottom of the barrel, but dude, I've been below that barrel, buried under 50 feet.
Some folks here may relish your fall from Reddit, but fuck that, I worry more about the real you.
Scroll through my history, it's all public, always will be.
I repeat, I will talk to you any time, publicly on Reddit, or via PM.
You've been with me through my time at w/n, and you know what I am. And I'll be here for you. Anytime, anywhere.
'Cept when I'm at the beach man, fuck, I need some sun sometimes:~)
The hat can always be found in the water, somewhere between Hilton Hawaiian Village and Diamond Head, so you know where to find me IRL too.
2 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Yooo my girl wants to go to Hawaii, Japan, moscow, amsterdam and London next week.
1) wanna meet up?
2) Wanna come along?
4 alllie 2015-08-11
So she's paying half?
2 TheGhostOfDusty 2015-08-11
LOL.
3 madazzahatter 2015-08-11
Just left Tokyo, so can't help you there, but will be in Hawaii for as long as I can help it.
The weather is here, wish you were beautiful!
PM me when you get here:~)
3 axolotl_peyotl 2015-08-11

I'm spending more time on Voat these days anyway, I see a future there...Atko just cracked down on an SJW takeover of a default sub.
Stay in touch, we are brothers in arms.

1 SQUID_FUCKER 2015-08-11
What happened? Can you or someone else explain it to me? I'm a bit in the dark on this one.
3 IMissSplashyPants 2015-08-11
snoonet is the IRC backroom where the power mods hang out.
1 SQUID_FUCKER 2015-08-11
Why is that inherently bad? Or worse than a private mod subreddit? I'm honestly curious.
1 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Digg patriots all over again, but much much worse.
1 kaalaaaa 2015-08-11

1 mikerhoa 2015-08-11
It's really showing on this side of the divide as well. Sometimes it seems like this site isn't nearly as much fun as it used to be...
15 blankslatetheory 2015-08-11
Peace brother, keep the fight for truth in you.
12 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
But seriously, why would I want to stay on a site wherein fighting for the free flow of information means being ready to fight a fucking political battle at every fucking turn with no support from the administration aside from the occasional in-joke?
I am so sad when I reflect on that statement in light of what happened to Aaron.
We could have fucking helped him. We should have fucking helped him. Fuck.

Ain't it amazing in a sad way how quickly things change? Take care, friend. Be free.
2 Sarah_Connor 2015-08-11
heh - funnily enough, I have been trying to do just this in the last bit...
1 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-08-11
Do it.
Use CSS to make it such that people are directed to the new queue via the sub header.

Now I'm BUMMED!
Damn, AATA, you were a great and treasured asset to the sub and to Reddit as a whole. You've been a hero.
Thanks for all your hard work, devotion and insights.
See you on the other side?
All the best, bro!

I'll see you around Voat for sure.

As much as it may be an unpopular opinion, this dude's kind of a jerk. I claimed a subverse on voat that he owned, and he threatened to buy Voat just to get it back in his hands. He harassed me and the site admins although he never moderated the sub or made any changes to the CSS
