My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It's not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.

Yes, the admins removed me without warning then re-arranged the mod team

To what level is this community still affiliated with the subreddit?

Spez is going to pay back, don't you know about Reddit karma turning into real gold? /s

Not to sound too tinfoil-hatty, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that was sock puppet accounts. When you don’t want people to unify and leave, just start a flame war!
