So here's an interesting one.
Carrotcypher is a mod for fosstodon.org
He's also a mod of /r/Mastodon, /r/privacy, and like 50 other subreddits.
He's also an asshole who's fine with ICE deporting Mahmoud Khali for his political speech.

It's got some big phrenologist energy, describing being trans as a "mental health" issue.
From the linked article: "Only about one in three LGBTQ+ youth live in LGBTQ-affirming homes, according to a 2021 survey conduced by the Trevor Project."

in reply to The Fedilore Otter 🦦 • • •One of the more mysterious examples is this article about DHS now allowing the government to spy on queer people, specifically because they're queer.
/r/Privacy has deleted links to this article at least four times, and no existing link to this article is currently up.
Carrotcypher is a mod on /r/Privacy, and is pretty clearly responsible for at least one of the unexplained takedowns.

It a thread about AI, as a mod on /r/OpenSource, he decides to take a strong stance against 19th-century English textile workers.

On the right, you see him on the list of subreddit mods.

in reply to The Fedilore Otter 🦦 • • •It's very silly.
I'm not sure why @fosstodon (or /r/mastodon) would pick such an obvious troll as a mod, and then keep him even when he's basically inactive (less than one post a week, on average).

But there ya go.
Keep an eye out for Fosstodon, and if you're bored have a scroll through some of Carrotcypher's reddit comments.

Four TBS instances block the funny horse-wearing-short-pants instance.
Sure wonder what the difference is! 🙃

Nothing especially horrifying, but... yikes.
(Although I do agree that Vanta is pretty extreme 🤟🛹.)

"first" ?
the fuck you mean "first". I will bet significant amounts of money that there were instances prior to this, they just never got as well-known
