View submission: [Developing] Former /r/conspiracy mod /u/Flytape is added as a mod to /r/xkcd. Need I say more?

View parent comment

I received a reply from /u/cupcake1713 (reddit admin). She said that she had asked the mods of /r/xkcd to not link to the controversial subreddits in the sidebar, and to remove the CSS. They've removed the links, but not the CSS. I'm not sure if she's aware that Randall wants soccer removed (probably Flytape and KamensGhost as well, but he hasn't said that), so I guess I should ask her. Also, were you the one that contacted the Daily Dot in the first place? Thanks again for following up.

They seem to be carpet-downvoting your posts now, and if they are that's shadow-bannable. All your recent comments are at 0 despite most people agreeing with you. Anyway, keep us posted on what /u/cupcake1713 says!

No I wasn't but I decided to follow up after immediately after reading the article. I was considering contacting other media outlets, but the fact that there was already a story on the situation I thought they would be my best shot.
