Hey everyone — it’s Leaflit. Today I’m reacting to a huge drama unfolding in r/Art, as covered by penguinz0 in his recent videos “Pathetic Power Tripping Reddit Mod”, “They All Resigned” and “It’s More Pathetic Than We Thought”. In short: a mod named NeoDiogenes banned a talented artist (u/Strawbear) for simply mentioning the word “prints” in a comment — which the mod considered self-promotion. When the artist tried to defend themselves, the mod responded with hostility, accused their work of being machine-generated (without proof), and even wiped their entire posting history.

What happened next blew up: fans flooded the subreddit with “print” comments in protest, many got banned, and eventually the subreddit was locked down. The “mod team resignation” that followed turned out to be orchestrated by NeoDiogenes alone — he booted the other mods and claimed the whole team quit.

I’m calling this what it is: abuse of power, betrayal of the community, and censorship disguised as “rule enforcement.”

What I break down in this reaction:

Why banning an artist for a simple mention of “prints” — after the artist only responded to a fan question — was a disproportionate and suspicious action.

How the mod’s accusation that their art was “AI-generated” (without evidence) reflects a history of arbitrary, biased moderation on r/Art. That kind of presumption destroys trust.

How wiping someone's entire post history — effectively erasing years of work — is more than rule enforcement: it’s malice.

Why the “We all resign” post was a lie: this collapse was the result of a single rogue mod’s takeover, not a collective decision.

Why communities (subreddits, servers, fan spaces) need transparent moderation, accountability, and respect — not autocratic power masked as “moderator duties.”

I stand with the artist, with the fans, with real creators. If you care about creative freedom, fair communities, and speaking truth to moderation power — please like, subscribe, and hit the bell. Drop a comment: Have you seen mods destroy communities with power-tripping before? What should Reddit do to prevent this from happening again?
