69MoeLester420 was a small Discord server dedicated to the shitposting subreddit r/69MoeLester420. Having opened all the way back during the r/place event of 2022, it closed almost a full year later on March 30, 2023, after merging with the 69SwagBalls420 Discord server. Despite its small size, numbering barely 50 members at its peak, the culture of this server has proven influential over its much larger successor. Some of the server's drama was resolved or buried and some of it has risen up to plague the new server. Carefully written down over the course of months from the perspective of WalterWhiteOnReddit, with additional help from other 69MoeLester420 and 69SwagBalls420 members, may the tumultuous history of 69MoeLester420 serve as a cautionary tale.
History
r/place
69MoeLester420 was created for the subreddit of the same name on April 3, 2022. The server was opened during r/place, at the initiative of WalterWhiteOnReddit and Max5923 to coordinate the construction of a monument to the subreddit on the r/place canvas. Several Moederators joined during this initial frenzy of activity, their esteemed names being:
- Mr. Sex
- SlenderSmurf
- Mendev
- ███████ (referred to as TikTokker)
Some of these people would soon fade into obscurity. Others will forever remain part of the 69MoeLester420 mythos. The server link was soon posted to the subreddit and ordinary members decided to join.[1] As is the nature with servers like these, people join, only to drift away after a while, yet one person in particular, an individual known only as Deez, remained an active member of the server until its very end, despite, by his own admission, never having heard of the subreddit before joining. Godspeed, Deez.
Early History
As the event soon concluded, the Moederators decided to keep using the server, having found it much more convenient than modmail. For a time the server remained relatively inactive, with a few shitposts being shared daily without much discussion in between, perhaps lasting a dozen messages before falling back into silence. They say hindsight is 20/20 and many things that were simply ignored at the time, or forgotten entirely, took on a more sinister aspect when gazed back upon. The fact that TikTokker was quick to insult anything she didn't find funny was one of them. At the time it seemed unremarkable, as she merely expressed thoughts shared by the other Moederators, but looking back, it seems to foreshadow the events that would transpire almost a year later.
On April 4, ██████████████████████, also known as Bufner, joined the server.
On May 22, ██████ (in this document known as Instanormie), another subreddit mod and a friend of TikTokker, joined the server.
The Renaissance Era
On May 23, Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy was released on AMC+.[2] The Breaking Bad community went wild. Having been released so close to the season 6 finale of Better Call Saul, Slippin' Jimmy was seen as a personal insult by fans of Breaking Bad; a clear cash-grab meant to capitalize on the success of its sister show. It was Family Guy for kids, with none other than Saul Goodman as its face.
So thought the uneducated masses, unable to think critically about what they watch. But the show did not fly under 69MoeLester420's radar, as the intellectuals of the server were able to see the genius of Slippin' Jimmy. The intelligentsia of the server responsed with their own stunning commentary on the show: on June 4, Pickle Jimmy was released into the world.
On the very same day, lightning would be bottled once more, as emojis were added to the server. Trollface came first, suggested by none other than Deez, but it was soon trumped by the world-famous Trollbama, courtesy of r/trollbama, a subreddit once moderated by Mr. Sex, now entrusted to WalterWhiteOnReddit. As inconceivable as it may seem that comedy gold would be struck twice in a single day, the third strike was the real kicker, a combination of the two worth more than the sum of its parts; the :picklejimmy: emoji. After such a success, the entire comedy industry went out of business, knowing that nothing would ever surpass the achievements of that fateful day.
In the days that followed, the server became active once more, with actual conversations taking place between image posts, creating an environment almost as lively as the server was the day it opened.
On June 20, koonsbmw joined the server.
On July 31, Max5923 suggests making an Automoderator response under every post containing the server link. Up to that point, new members could only join by following the link on a subreddit post, leading to a low member count during its first few months. While nothing was initially done to follow through with the suggestion, it was repeated so many times that it was finally implemented.
The Low Priest
Contrary to popular belief, the r/69MoeLester420 subreddit was not opened by Moe himself. The High Priest, █████████████████, may blessed be his beautiful name, was responsible for the creation and early growth of the community. █████████████████ was permabanned from Reddit[3] and not much is known about his activity following that ban, as he was not a member of the server.
Contact was lost with The High Priest until August 2, when WalterWhiteOnReddit noticed a peculiar comment under a post on r/69MoeLester420.
The reaction was primal and instantaneous - the idea that the owner of the subreddit had returned after so many months in exile was exhilarating, it almost seemed too good to be true. An entire evening was spent in blissful ignorance, with The Low Priest receiving the treatment of a returning Messiah, until another message was received, dashing the collective hopes of the MoeLester community; a reply under one of The Low Priest's comments which contained a link to a comment in the subreddit r/TrueSTL, a subreddit that The High Priest used to frequent. The link led to an edited comment of The High Priest's, calling The Low Priest out as an imposter. The joy created by The High Priest's prodigal return soon faded.
Moments later, the second realization hit.
The High Priest was still active and editing his comments! The alt account with which The High Priest contacted the Moederators was banned only hours later. Although The High Priest was gone, hope remained.
On December 3, ████ ████████, also known as Mario, joined the server.
The Dark Ages
On December 6 the server link was added as an automoderator response to every post to r/69MoeLester420. Previously the majority of the conversations on the server were held almost exclusively by the mod team, with the notable exceptions of Deez and Norman the Mormon. The automod response resulted in a sudden influx of new users who started to participate in the server. Given the sheer brilliance of the early posts, it was no surprise that the server took a major downturn in quality.
This period, despite its negative impact on the overall state of the server, allows for the history of MoeLester to be divided into two parts; the first, in which the server was nothing more than a glorified group chat for the Moederators, and the second, in which the server truly became part of the community at large. Although the first few days were rough, the public invite would prove to be a blessing in disguise, in time revealing many issues present in the server and the mod team.
The Exile of Bufner
If anyone could be described as the odd one out in the Lester family, it was Bufner. Between the all-but-forgotten Happy Wheels Coup and the random opening of channels no one would use (at least for their original purpose),[4] it was almost as if he was living in a world from the other Moederators, doing as he pleased, unbothered by whether or not other users would care for his activities. His presence, however, was uncontroversial for the most part (barring the r/fatfurs incident), as he spent most of his time fucking around in the #bot-channel. Unfortunately, this place would serve as the catalyst for his exile.
Before the details of the story are revealed, let it be known that the actions taken by the Moederators here will not be defended. It will be told how it happened, as unflattering as the whole situation may be to the server leadership as a whole. It is important to share, however, to show how much of this behavior was tolerated in the past.
It started off innocently enough. Using the esmBot, Bufner took an image and fed it into the bot repeatedly, in order to create a chain of subreddits at the bottom of the image. He started with the classics, the comedy black holes that are r/funny, r/gaming and r/dankmemes, but pretty soon an unconventional subreddit name found itself on the list.
As edgy as the server was at the time, using this word clearly pushed its boundaries. Ironic rape threats may have been shared almost daily,[5] but racism was still taken somewhat seriously by the mod team. Although no punishment was given, it was assumed this issue would not be repeated and it was clear there would be consequences should this happen again.
And yet, it happened again.
It was slightly different this time around. Instead of the n-word being simply spelled out, the second incident was a thinking man's conundrum, a puzzle only solvable by the intellectual elite of society, for only a true genius could find the hidden meaning of a GIF showing nothing but the letter "N" dancing around.
It would be quite unfortunate if someone else coincidentally posted a GIF featuring the letter "I" right afterward. What naughty word might these letters write out in the end? Surely not the n-word of all things?
The majority of mods, contrary to popular belief, aren't 6-year-old children who are amused by slurs and issue was taken with this GIF. Bufner decided to, following the short conversation about it, post the GIF in mod chat. Thankfully, the n-word chain was shut down before it could really begin.
With the previous incident still fresh in minds of the Moederators, this failure of a chain was brought attention to Bufner's behavior and started a days-long focus on him.
Unfortunately, much of what happened in the following days has been lost to time, as many messages were deleted by Bufner himself without any logs to back them up. What remains, however, is not a pretty story.
While almost all the mods agreed that Bufner's posts were cringe and had no place in this server, the way this situation was handled was cruel. TikTokker and Instanormie, along with a few other mods who joined in from time to time, bullied Bufner, mocking him after almost every single message he posted.
Signs of distress were visible in some of Bufner's messages, yet the mods carried on.
On December 20, Bufner left the server and hasn't been contacted by any Moederator since.
The Departure of Max
Max5923 was present at the very beginning of the server, having been its creator and main coordinator during the r/place conquest. It may sound unusual then, that his presence was barely felt by the other members of the server.
Max5923 was rarely online, and being the owner of the server, was the only Moederator who could grant other users mod permissions. This proved incredibly impractical.
To combat this issue, a special role, meant to grant a measure of power to the new mods, was created. This only served to complicate things, as it meant some of the mods would have the original role, and some would have the new role.
Having two roles of different colors made the server look uglier than it ought to and generally made things more confusing then they needed to be.
With the Bufner incident in full swing, it was clear that this state of affairs could not last.
Having been active so little, and planning on taking a break from social media anyways, Max5923 decided to step down as Lead Moederator. Although he remained in the server as a mostly inactive member, on December 17 Max5923 abdicated as Owner and granted full ownership of the server to Mr. Sex. As one final action before giving away ownership, another role, named Moewner, was created, meant to be given to the most trusted members of the mod team. While the ownership of the server could not be shared between multiple members, Max5923 wished to distribute the power among the Moederators, ultimately granting the role to koonsbmw, Walter and the aforementioned Mr. Sex.
After the change in ownership was finalized, the Moewner role went beyond its intended purpose, and was given to other mods, most notably, TikTokker and her partner in crime, Instanormie. Although it seemed like a harmless idea at the time, this shift in power established a hierarchy in the mod team, giving full permissions (and disproportionate powe) to a select few. Once the Moewner role was given to someone, it could not be removed without the direct involvement of the Owner. This essentially cemented the power of TikTokker and Instanormie.[6]
Having left the position of Owner, Max5923 diminished his already meager presence on the server, posting a handful of messages every few weeks before fading into obscurity. Although nothing has been heard from Max5923 in months, his influence in the growth of the MoeLester mythos should not be understated. An incredible group of people got together and remain together a full year later. While we don't see you anymore, on behalf of the entire mod team I thank you for creating this server.
Godspeed, Max5923.
An Odd Fellow
On December 17, a new user joined the server. This was not an uncommon occurrence and their presence barely noticed by the Moederators. After posting a few messages in furry-speak, this user seemingly recognized koonsbmw as the furry moderator of the 69MoeLester420 subreddit.
The user was silent for a while before starting to once again engage in conversations on December 31. The user showed an interest in the Moederators, first striking up a conversation with Mr. Sex, before going on to greet Walter. The user professed love to these two, as though they were old friends and not strangers.
Although the user was quiet for the most part, they radiated a wholesome energy that was much appreciated. Such behavior is unusual in shitposting servers and it was a nice break from the usual negativity and poisonous irony that permeates such places. This user was much better company than most of the new server members.
The conversations on the server continued unchanged for a time. The fact that the user cared so much about the Moederators was strange as most Reddit users don't give a swag who their moderators are. Even so, it wasn't weird enough to stick in the minds of the Moederators.
On January 3, Mr. Sex shared the news of yet another The High Priest alt account being banned from Reddit.
All it took was a single message from the user.
And suddenly, it clicked.
The server went wild.
The High Priest was back.
The Swag Alliance
On January 8, r/LesbianInsectBrothel was banned from Reddit.[7] A sudden influx of gore videos hit the subreddit. The moderators, inactive accounts that hadn't logged into the website in weeks, took no action. It wasn't long before Reddit admins took matters into their own hands and destroyed the subreddit. The total destruction of such a large shitposting subreddit as a response to a situation no one could have predicted, made the moderators of other shitposting communities reconsider their approach to moderating, with new methods to stop would-be attackers being implemented across the website. r/69MoeLester420 was no exception.
The Moederators, in their eternal wisdom, had already devised a system to deal with the problem the shitposting community was facing. By setting up a moderation queue, every post made by a user not trusted by the mods would be automatically removed, only being shown to others if the mods deemed it worthy of seeing the front page. With the propaganda department hard at work, there was no possibility of failure. All that remained to be done was to implement the queue.
And then came a simple message.
The gauntlet was thrown. Our honor had been besmirched and we would not stand for it. This despicable action, committed by r/IDONTGIVEASWAG, was unforgivable. To steal from us, the proud nation of MoeLester, the thought of it disgusted us all.
First, the image dumps, an incredible idea retroactively started and popularized by our great and honorable leader was stolen and repurposed as cheap entertainment for the masses of r/IDONTGIVEASWAG.
Now this. The greed of IDGAS knew no end.
We were left with a single option. War.
However, a question remained. How did the plan fall into the hands of the enemy?
We had a mole within our ranks, an imposter among us - someone we trusted dearly held no allegiance to our flag.
It was Norman the Mormon. Of course that bastard did it. It all made perfect sense. A true Swag Giver surely would have confessed their misdeed right away, yet Norman remained a tough nut to crack. It was obvious where his heart was.
It was of no surprise then that this information reached the ears of the leader of Swag Nation, Meme_Alt_Account. Within the hour, they joined the server. Soon enough, Lin, representing IkeaFreshBalls, joined the server as well.

The Return of Moe
January 8 was an important day for the shitposting community. The shutdown of r/LesbianInsectBrothel echoed across the landscape and from its ashes rose new partnerships and approaches to moderation meant to stop such an event from happening again. As discussed previously, 69MoeLester420 was an active participant in the restructuring that occurred after the shutdown. But nothing could prepare the people of the server for what transpired next.
The absence of Moe throughout the history of the server may seem odd to outsiders. Why dedicate a server to a person who isn't even there to see it? While others would have given up, and, as TikTokker once suggested, repurpose the server and abandon the MoeLester name, the people of 69MoeLester420 persevered, knowing that one day their prayers would be answered, and the One would grace them with his presence.
It was on this fateful day, January 8, at precisely 8:40 PM, UTC±00:00, that it finally happened.
Bazinga, better known by his reddit username of 69MoeLester420 joined the server.
With both The High Priest and Moe present in the server, 69MoeLester420 was at its highest point yet. new heights of activity were reached and a widespread celebration was held, for our Savior was finally here!
The Story of Sam and Belize, Introduction
On January 10, Samarm132 joined the server. At the time he appeared to be a common subreddit member. Although the significance of his name remained unknown, he had been discussed previously on the server, or rather, a post of his on r/ihaveihaveihavereddit, was discussed, with TikTokker commenting on the declining quality of that subreddit.
Soon it came to be known that Sam, as he will be referred to for the rest of the article, was not a complete stranger, as he revealed that he knew █████████, a Reddit user that we jokingly suggested was in a relationship with Moe due to the unusual number of messages the pair exchanged.
This will become more relevant to our story as it nears its end. But in the beginning it did not matter much. Sam was quickly determined to be annoying by the Moederators. Nevertheless, he chose to stay on the server.
On January 16, █████████, who will henceforth be referred to as Belize in order to protect her identity, joined the server.
On the same day, Sam revealed his computer monitor. This detail is not relevant to the story in any way. I just wanted to show that thing to you. The dimensions of it are absolutely comical. The more you look, the sillier it gets. The monitor is wider than the desk it sits on. The two edges of the screen seem to be following COVID-19 guidelines, there is a distance of 6 feet between the items and healthbar when looking at the UI. There is barely any space for the mouse, can you imagine the DPI on that thing? It is absolutely insane in every possible way and it has to be shared with the world.
The server became more active than it had ever been before as Belize and Sam started exchanging messages. With the SwagBalls moderators[8] and Moe remaining active in the following days, the server reached a new level of activity, unparalleled even by the days of r/place.
Previously, a few dozen messages were sent a day, which was not terrible for a server this small, but was completely dwarfed by the by the prodigious number of messages sent by Sam and Belize. Seeing hundreds of notifications upon opening the server became the norm. For reference, around 4.000 messages have been documented in the seven-day period after she joined the server, with another 1.500 from Sam. A period of activity like this was unprecedented.
The 9GAG conquest
The name "9GAG" has long brought fear to the hearts of internet users. Like some sort of infernal time machine that led only to a darker age when rage comics were celebrated unironically and advice animals were considered the peak of comedy.
Frozen in time as the years passed and social media websites rose and fell, 9GAG endured against all odds, avoiding bankruptcy by means known to no wholesome denizen of the 'net.
To the rest of the internet, it was where memes went to die, a Reddit alternative that combined the worst aspects of Reddit and Facebook, inferior to these platforms in every way. Yet 9GAG went on. It carved its own niche, one which would turn away most, yet also one where the rage comic artist would find a home.
The Moederators would not be scared so easily. On January 17, Mr. Sex installed 9GAG. He acknowledged he had strayed from the path of the wholesome chungus, and wished to redeem himself through a pilgrimage to the dankest site there is.
By God, it was everything we had hoped for and so much more! Every post we saw in that antediluvian place was entirely antithetical to what comedy ought to look like. Simply scrolling through the site drained our will to live. The frightful existence of such a place was so was a mystery unfit for contemplation by a healthy human mind: why would so many people willingly choose to spend their time on 9GAG?
As members of the server began to make 9GAG accounts, Mr. Sex made a post on the site, one that went mercifully ignored by most of the site's loathsome inhabitants. It would not be until Walter made a post[9] that the 9GAGGERS noticed the intrusion. A total of 168 downvotes showered the post. The comments section was beyond belief.
So much vitriol contained in only a few replies, it was stunning to watch, primordial reaction images encrusted with JPEG artifacts that marked them as older than the average reader of this article were exchanged, with a few Reddit-tier comebacks mixed in. Soon the other mods realized they wanted in on the fun. Koonsbmw created an account, and the conquest truly began.
Then it happened.
We were blessed with what may well be the greatest moment in history, one of such majesty that its memory remains preserved in the stickers of 69SwagBalls420 long after the 69MoeLester420 server was archived.
Not everything went smoothly. The 9GAG developers, elected to place a daily limit on how many times a user could post, along with a 10 minutes window between each post or comment. It is widely believed that this was done to prevent undue strain on the single hamster that is responsible for running 9GAG's servers.
But this did not stop the proud 69MoeLester420 army, which steadily continued its march into enemy territory. It was comforting to see that the 69MoeLester420 ideology started spreading even among the locals. Even as insults were thrown against us, we had allies.
And then the news broke. The daily upload quota had been reached. No new posts could be made for the next 24 hours. Our troops' advancement has been halted. The movement soon fizzled out.
Walter remains on the site to this day, holding our ground. Further progress into their territory, however, is but a distant dream. 9GAG is a stronghold that not even Reddit's dankest chungi can conquer, its unwholesome users, like a hivemind, ferociously respond to any form of outside aggression. 9GAG will never change, will never die. In spite of our efforts, the terrible site still stands, just as it stood many years ago before the first Redditor breached its walls.
While more raids were attempted in the future, it was always with the knowledge that the forces 9GAG would prevail. There is no winning against these "people". Know that 9GAG is their territory, and they will fight to defend it from emoji-users at any cost. It doesn't matter how many n-words have to be dropped to achieve that.
The Human Cockroach and the Myth of Sisyphus (With Commentary from the Cockroach)

| This section has been edited by the Cockroach. Its commentary has been rendered in red in order to facilitate ignoring the wretched lies it has made in its petty display. The moederators are infallible. No factual errors were made during the writing of this document and any evidence to the contrary is nothing but filthy JEWCORDIAN propaganda.
Glory to Moe Lester and the Moederators! Long live Swag Nation! |
Anyone with the slightest knowledge of Greek mythology should be well aware of the myth of Sisyphus. Punished for his arrogance by the Gods, he is left with the task of pushing a boulder up a steep hill, with the prospect of escaping this punishment lying at the very top. Try as he might, each time the boulder approaches the top of the hill, it rolls back down to where it started, reversing his progress. Yet Sisyphus does not give up. Each time this happens, he rolls the boulder rolls back up, only for it to roll down the hill again. (there was an extra space here and i corrected it, you’re welcome! (Get this man a Reddit Gold.))
Every good story needs a villain, and you don't make it to 50 server members without making a few enemies. Most of them were your average run-of-the-mill internet assholes, saying the n-word a couple of times or being slightly annoying for a few minutes before promptly vanishing. There is, however, a single user so utterly pathetic, (based (Memers don't even say based anymore. We say gem.)) so absolutely devoid of purpose (my purpose is to be an asshole to random people online (💔))
) that they choose to spend the limited time (i’m actually immortal) that they have on this Earth not only rotting in the dank pits of their gamer dungeon, but to making it their life's mission to mildly annoy (slight understatement considering i have my own fucking wikipedia section lmao) a few Reddit mods. A tragic display of how low a human being can stoop, so infatuated by the smell of its own farts (they smell like ARYAN VRIL) that it is unable for a moment to realize the worthlessness of its own existence. Despite the dozens of times this pest has been banned, they keep coming back like a drug-starved addict that cannot go without their daily hit, using dozens of alt accounts to stay on Reddit, as their reliance on the website is such that even a temporary withdrawal would result in a coma. The very definition of terminally online, (stage 4) this user shall remain unnamed, (it’s the Jewedditor) not for fear of retaliation, but as not to provide them with a drop of satisfaction. (i laughed for 10 minutes straight when i found this and the gc found it hilarious, which it is (It is pretty funny.)) Instead, they will be referred to as what they really are: a human cockroach (lmao) with no value to anyone, one that everyone wishes was just gone, yet one so persistent in its aims that no matter how much you stomp on it, it keeps coming back. One must embrace the cockroach as an unchanging constant in life, just as Sisyphus may never push the boulder up that sharply sloping hill, so too will this user never be truly removed. Once you embrace the fact that this insect is here to stay, you may indulge in laughter at the pitiful ways it claws for attention. (i have my own wikipedia section lmfao)
On November 11, the cockroach was first banned on the r/69MoeLester420 subreddit. While the specific reasons were lost to time, (you banned me because i was active in r/RedditMoment (Hey gamers. Guy who actually banned him here. It was actually because I saw him being generally unfunny on some other shitposting subreddits and being over how unfunny the sub had gotten. Idk why he thinks it has to do with r/RedditMoment. It's not like any of us have a problem with it. Irony Reddit's whole point is making fun of Reddit.)
) the cockroach's username, a clear anti-Semitic dog whistle (nice detective work sherlock) (or perhaps just a whistle), as well as its behavior in the following months, leaves racism as the most likely possibility. (TRVE) This first ban did not produce many issues. It would not be until January that our story would truly begin. On January 18 the Cockroach was banned from the subreddit for a second time. The moment the gavel hit the hardwood and the ban was dealt, the fate of the universe itself was sealed. An eternal nemesis was found, one we may never rid ourselves of—our own boulder to push. (i’m flattered)
On January 19, both Walter and SlenderSmurf woke up to find their Reddit accounts temporarily suspended. The reason? Harassment. The Cockroach, the had decided to report its modmail conversation to the Reddit admins. (no the fuck i didnt? lmao) The low-life weasel spent hours provoking the mods, (didn’t happen, meds now.) only to call the teacher the moment someone insulted it back. The punishments, lasting 2 days and a week respectively, were served with dignity, as would be expected from Reddit mods worth their karma. It is important to note that it wasn't the length or even the existence of these bans that was insulting, but rather the fact that someone would stoop so low as to involve the Reddit admins in the situation. (SLANDER) That is a sign of the lowest breed of man, one so wretched that they would make a deal with Satan himself for rather than admit defeat. Thus did the Moederators intuit what kind of person they were dealing with, but nothing could prepare them for what came next. (the funniest shit ever)
On February 13, as the encounter with the Cockroach faded from the Moederators' memories, an image was posted to the r/69MoeLester420 subreddit. Not any ordinary image, as one may guess from the fact that its very existence warranted an entire paragraph of text. The image, featuring an uncensored, bloody penis cut in half in an incredibly unclean, gory fashion, was posted nineteen times. Nineteen. That is almost as much as 9+10. (TROLD) This was the First Impact, otherwise known as the Penis Gore Incident. Such an event is especially dangerous for a small subreddit, as r/69MoeLester420 was at the time, holding less than 5000 members, as an influx of gore on a subreddit where the mods aren't terminally online could very well result in the entire subreddit being banned. The MoeLester Nation forever stays grateful to koonsbmw (probably ACKed after seeing the cocks, you are not forgotten (RIP Koons. I will never forget the time you gave me Reddit Gold. 😭)) for being the first one on the ground and dealing with the situation in a quick and efficient fashion. Sadly, as one might expect, this was far from the only encounter with the Cockroach.
Remember that lockdown idea the Moederators had, way back before the partnership with r/IDONTGIVEASWAG and r/IkeaFreshBalls was signed? Simply put, instead of leaving the floodgates of reddit open, each post would have to be approved by the mods. Although it hadn't been implemented before, this situation provided the perfect opportunity to test it out. With the code was already in place, all that was left to do was announce it. By the end of the day, the temporary lockdown had gone into effect [10], intended to stop any raids in the following days, until another less intrusive method of moderation was found. At the advice of Sam, still a regular member at the time, a minimum karma limit was set up, filtering out any posts made by new accounts. (unfortunately, this did not work, if it did there would be no need to write an essay about how fucking hilarious i am)
The Cockroach was far from done. Unbeknownst to the Moederators at the time, a vile scheme was being planned in the most twisted corners of the internet. A call to arms, intended to bring the Soy Army to the side of the Cockroach. Unfortunately for it, not even the userbases of such depraved websites as soyjak.party wished to associate themselves with such an insult to what it means to be a human being. [11] (/raid/ is dead as fuck lmfao, i should’ve just posted on /soy/ (The Soy Army)) Yet even so, it would not give up. On February 16, just as the lockdown was lifted and the new measures were put into place, a post from one of the Cockroach's alts made its way into the subreddit's mod queue. It was immediately clear that this was not the last we would see of it. Soon after, a GIF captioned "LOL UKRAINE", (provided to me oh so graciously by the Niggedditor, blessed be his name) showing the death of two soldiers in the midst of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, was posted, followed by a text post, written by a friend[citation needed] of the Cockroach, requesting that it be unbanned. (most likely the Niggedditor, blessed be his name) Both posts were quickly removed. This "Second Impact," proved much easier to bear.
Even though the Cockroach presented itself as based and red-pilled troll through posts such as these, things could not be further from the truth. As a thread on the thugposting subreddit r/wordington[12] shows, a mere day after the original incident, the user tried to explain away the situation by stating that its account was hacked by its friend [citation needed], sharing a story of less than dubious probability along side it. While this story can neither be verified nor proven false, (this is a complete fucking lie lmfao (This is probably one of my favorite moments in the saga. My man really wanted to protect his Reddit clout.)
) the possibility still exists that the Cockroach was telling the truth. (i wasn’t (💔)) But this was far from the only incident involving this user. The threat to spam gore on the server was, by its own admission, sent by the Cockroach itself, and although it claims not to be responsible for the Penis Gore Incident, (i was) as more raids occurred in the future, some involving sharing material worse than the one sent during the First Impact, it shows that even if it was not the Cockroach who posted the images, it would still not be out of character for it to have done so on its own.
The Moederators did not have to wait long for proof of this thesis, as on February 21, the Third Impact occurred, this time on the server. 69MoeLester420 was under attack. And the worst part? We didn't even know about it. A few days before the incident, several users joined the server, seemingly innocuous, they stayed quiet and kept to themselves for the most part, occasionally even interacting with the mods. As the Second Impact was still fresh in the mods' minds, the conversation sometimes steered in that direction, with the new users playing along. (this was incredibly funny to witness in person i mind you, getting shittalked by an entire discord is something a man can only dream of. not really, it tends to happen a lot actually. maybe i’m the problem? nah, no way. (L rizz))
The sleeper agents woke up on February 21. (HEIL JEWCORD, HEIL JEWCORD, HEIL JEWCORD)
While not much remains as the messages were deleted automatically when the offending users were banned, one video remains, saved before the purge by Belize, an edit of the National Victory Celebration held after the conclusion of the Gulf War in 1991 [13] with nothing but "RACISM IS NON-NEGOTIABLE" written all over it. There is but a single issue the Cockroach did not anticipate. (no, i knew this would happen. it was kinda the point actually.) Every time it undertook a raid, additional lines of defense were placed. Just as the subreddit implemented a minimum karma barrier, (jewcordian win) along side other measures to protect from raiders, so too did the server put protections in place in order to prevent this from happening again. The Automoderator was set up, automatically kicking out any members below the minimum account age. (this was annoying af, i had to use one of the jewcord members alts to see the reactions! fucking assholes. (Soyjak)) From then on, it became a question of how long the Cockroach was willing to wait between each raid. (being a cunt online is my favorite activity (Follow proper Reddiquette) The minimum age could always be raised, and not even the Cockroach could keep on waiting forever. (i could) The tides had shifted. (they hadn’t)
That is, until March 23, when another volley of posts hit the subreddit. The Fourth Impact took the form of thirty-six separate bait-and-switch posts which would all cut to a video of a man, covered in shit, stroking his cock. (i laughed for a good 5 minutes after i read this, thanks.) One might wonder, what compels a man to send such a thing? And to that I say, that we are not talking about a human being. Disgusting shock "humor" is the absolute lowest form of comedy, should instill in the poster a great shame, (sneed more) for how do you come to terms with the fact that you have this type of material saved on your device, not because you are sexually attracted to what is being depicted but rather because you find a man masturbating while covered in his own feces so amusing you cannot help but to snort and giggle in your gamer dungeon as if you have just experienced the absolute peak of your pathetic life when you decided to post it not once, but thirty-six separate times on a subreddit with less than 10k members. All of this dedicated to achieving an ultimately pointless goal; the banning a small subreddit. Yet the Cockroach went on. Not even in the darkest pits of SoyBooru could one find a proper portrayal of such an individual. (this is because poopson hasn’t been posted yet) It would almost be funny were it not so tragic. (it’s pretty funny)
Why does Sisyphus continue pushing his boulder? One might naively assume that it is the prospect of victory that compels him. Perhaps this was correct the first time that boulder was pushed up the slope, maybe even the second, tenth, or ten thousandth time. Yet it would soon dawn on Sisyphus that his task is hopeless. No matter how much effort he puts in, the boulder will always roll right back to the bottom. What might be the purpose of such a task if it will always amount to failure? The pointlessness of it may prove unbearable for some, for what is the point of anything if the outcome cannot be changed? Albert Camus offered a different perspective. One must accept the absurdity that surrounds us instead of trying to find a meaning where there is no meaning to be found. Sisyphus will never reach the top of the hill. Yet he continues on. He has accepted the meaninglessness of the task, and that acceptance allows him to live. He does not look for joy in the victory he will never achieve, for his hopes will only be crushed every time his progress is set back to the beginning. Instead, he finds happiness in every step he takes along the way, opting to enjoy the life that he has rather than spending it hoping for what he may never have. And as the boulder rolls back, he takes a sigh of relief knowing he can take a break from his work, before going down to start the cycle once more. The joy comes from the task itself, not the reward that might await him, for as grueling as it all is, in the end, this boulder is his and his alone, and nothing can take that away from him. He finds meaning in living itself, no matter how meaningless it may seem, for his life, torturous as it may seem, is as valuable as anyone else's.
In some sense, the Cockroach does the same. It is aware it will never win. It has been banned instantly many times and yet it keeps trying. It is the modern Sisyphus, determined to continue its endless task, as hopeless as it may seem. It does not care for the prospect of victory anymore. Instead, it finds joy in every n-word it drops, every dead child it posts. It is not the final goal that matters to it anymore, it knows very well that nothing will come out of its stunts, but it is the very process of annoying the mods that gives the Cockroach life. It is the journey that matters, not the destination. One must imagine the Cockroach happy.
(and yet, did i lose? your subreddit is shut down, idontgiveaswag is dead as fuck, and i’m sitting here laughing my ass off at an entire fucking essay written about my trolling. oh well, food for thought! (Shutting the subreddit down was an epic win though. Reddit is for losers, even more than Discord is.))
The End of The High Priest
On December 21, 2022, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was released in theatres. Audiences from across the globe went wild. Considered by many to be one of the greatest pieces of animation in the past decade, it received widespread acclaim and attention even from those that do not watch animated movies regularly. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish became one of the most talked-about movies of the year, and it is no wonder that the discussion reached 69MoeLester420. An unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of this discussion was the self-imposed exile of the head moderator, The High Priest.
The day was January 20. The High Priest had, by that time, become an integral part of the server. Although he did not care about moderating at all, he was considered a part of the MoeLester family. The devastating "Puss in Boots incident" was a piece of drama that could have easily been avoided, and yet, it snowballed to colossal proportions. Most of the Moederators would like to forget this chapter. There is no ill will here, but it sucks that it happened, and the Moederators wish to leave the person behind and move on.
The offending message may have gone completely unnoticed in most internet spaces, yet TikTokker, for all her faults, rightfully took issue with the message. Although we all held some form of respect for The High Priest, it was an undeniable fact that, once the proper context of the contents of the message settled in, this post was incredibly weird and kind of fucked up to share. The High Priest responded by explaining that he was talking about the voice of Puss, provided by Antonio Banderas, rather than his physical appearance. This did not satiate TikTokker, who, now with Instanormie by her side, continued the attack by stating that even if that was what he meant, he shouldn't have worded it in such a poor manner. TikTokker ended this conversation by muting The High Priest. She was ready to forget about this entire situation as long as it didn't turn into a reoccurring issue.
It was then that things went from weird to almost comically absurd. While people were ready to keep this incident in the past and forget about it, The High Priest couldn't help but repeatedly bring attention to it in the following hours. Bringing up the issue in a sarcastic manner in his DMs with TikTokker certainly didn't do him any favors, as claiming "evil spirits" possessed him in a situation like this caused much of the respect that TikTokker still held for The High Priest to slip away. Soon the question was raised of whether or not he was even being ironic: when the conversation resurfaced hours later in #general, he once again claimed to have looked back on the conversation and wondered if he was possessed by spirits. While obviously done jokingly, some of the mods, once again led by TikTokker, believed that this was a manipulation attempt meant to strike pity, while also shifting blame on some abstract entity in the past as opposed to the current him. It was on par with a Youtube apology video. The mods weren't buying it.
Not long after this, The High Priest left the server. As far as anyone is aware, he has had no contact with the other Moederators since.
The whole fiasco left everyone involved with a lot of mixed feelings. While it was agreed that what he said was bad, the Moederators wondered if they had been too hard on him. No matter our feelings about him, nothing can change what went down on that day. the relationship with The High Priest was permanently ruined, and he joined the ranks of the many lost Moederators. This loss was further soured by the fact that he was the original creator of the subreddit. With another chapter of the server's history closed, the turbulent ride neared its end.
A Change in Ownership
On January 20, mere hours after The High Priest left the server, Mr. Sex announced he would be abdicating his position as server owner. Mr. Sex suggested Moe himself as a possible owner as well as Walter, and after a short back-and-forth between the two the it ultimately fell upon Walter to lead the server in the following months. Although the situation surrounding the server was already unstable given The High Priest's recent and unexpected exile, it was only going to get worse. The Moederators' numbers had already underwent an alarming decline during the past few months and they would continue to do so until the very end of the server. And so, Mr. Sex exchanged his final goodbyes before leaving, transferring ownership of the server and its uncertain future to Walter.
The TikTokker Saga: Part One
It was always clear that TikTokker was a dick. There is no going around it. From the very beginning, if someone was leading the charge against whichever Moederators had happened to slip up at the time, it was TikTokker, with Instanormie by her side, hurling insults and aggressively mocking them until they willingly left the server. For a long time, this behavior was tolerated. While clearly toxic, it was always directed at people the members of the server took issue with anyways, as pointlessly mean as those comments were in retrospect. But when the drama died down and TikTokker had to find a new target, things changed for her.
As mentioned previously, by this point in time, the server was for the most part, dedicated only to conversations between Sam and Belize, who had almost completely taken over the server due to the fact that the pair sent orders of magnitude more messages than the rest of the server combined. TikTokker was not a fan of this, having referred to these conversations as e-dating in the past, and wanted to put an end to this. Remembering the past behavior of TikTokker, one may realize that she does not give up on her goals easily, instead attacking relentlessly for as long as it takes for whoever's back the target has been painted on to leave on their own. As Belize was a mod at the time, this left only Sam as a suitable candidate. Acting like a complete and utter prick on any occasion she had the chance to, TikTokker would also mute and sometimes kick Sam from the server, who, in spite of TikTokker's behavior, returned every time.
TikTokker did not stop at Sam, and soon took to providing the same courtesies to newer members of the server. While in her mind this may have been a brilliant satire of how Discord power mods act like morons and ban anyone who dare say a word to them, in reality, she was doing the exact same thing she was criticizing.
It's not really a joke anymore once you actually go through with it.
And how funny is it being the butt of the joke? Not very, according to Sam, was quite annoyed by TikTokker's behavior at that point in time, and started calling for the Moederators to do something about her. As it was obvious that the "joke" had been taken too far, as new users were turning away from the server solely because of her presence. Walter decided to talk to TikTokker about it. Not wanting to cause any drama, God knows there had already been far too much in the pas, he politely asked for her to stop and tone it down a notch as it was quite obvious the new users were starting to fucking hate the Moederators.
We all know what this conversation led to. Had she listened to Walter's warning, there would have been no point writing this section. TikTokker's behavior continued through the following days, and on February 9, after Sam had once again been kicked, Walter received DMs from both him and Belize asking for TikTokker's removal. In the back of his mind, Walter already considered TikTokker an asshole who shouldn't be kept as a Moederator. The only issue was that although Walter was the server owner at the time, TikTokker was higher in the r/69MoeLester420 hierarchy. This meant that if Walter stripped TikTokker of all her mod powers on the server, she would be able to do the same to Walter on the subreddit. And to a Reddit mod, there is nothing more terrifying than that.
The Moederators needed divine intervention, and thankfully, Moe was ready to help. While the conversations on the server continued normally, behind the scenes, in the shadows, a conspiracy was starting to form. On the subreddit, both TikTokker and Instanormie, her loyal partner in crime, had their moderating permissions removed. They did not get completely demodded, however, allowing them to keep their place in the mod hierarchy should things change in the future. Meanwhile on the server, Walter removed their Moewner roles, before finally announcing it to the server. It was the perfect coup.
It wasn't long before TikTokker realized what had happened. Her respond was pretty much what the Moederators had expected. The first thing she mentioned was that she wanted to demod Walter. Thankfully, Moe had made sure that this was no longer possible. Instanormie immediately began to complain about how she was punished for nothing, even though she lost her Moewner role for her ceaseless encouragement of TikTokker's behavior, which all active members of the server could attest to. While she wasn't the one dealing out mutes and kicks, not only had she done nothing to stop it, she had actively cheered it on. TikTokker was kicked out from the server by Belize, while Instanormie remained disgraced, now as a Moederator instead of a Moewner.
Here's the funny part. Do you notice those four 👆 reactions under the message? People strongly approved of this decision, even though TikTokker's behavior had been like this since the very beginning of the server. It's just that no one had spoken up about it. We all wanted her gone, but were afraid to tell her all this time for whatever reason. To avoid drama, to avoid be kicked out of the subreddit, or most likely, not knowing if the others on the server shared our feelings about her. It wasn't until we were certain there was a significant number of people that hated her that we even thought about removing her role. And it all goes back to that at the time harmless decision to give her the Moewner role months ago. She was granted authority she never deserved and asserted it through aggressive behavior. No one could have demodded her on their own, it was only when Reddit assembled that anything could be done.
Let this be a message never to mess with Reddit Nation.
The Wojak Vore Incident
On January 19, the First Wojak Vore Incident would occur. Although forgotten by history for the most part, to some it even seems surprising there were two of them, it remains important as it had set the stage for future events that were, at the time, yet to come. On this day, Mario would post an image depicting four separate instances of wojak vore, arranged like a political compass, to the r/69MoeLester420 subreddit. Neither the image nor the removed post will be linked in order to preserve your eyeballs. Search for it at your own risk. While it left most mods simply dumbfounded, in the end, TikTokker would be the one to ultimately remove the post.
On March 5, Mr. Sex made his return. While most would wish for the story of their return not to be forever entangled with an event as infamous as the Second Wojak Vore incident, an important development had occurred but a few days after, which had set the stage for what was to come. The previously abandoned NSFW channel had been completely rebranded, purged from any 18+ material, now instead turning into an opt-in channel for any non-sexual posts that may have been too much for #general. The idea did not last long.
All it takes is a couple of messages for everything to go to hell. It could have been easily avoided, yet his fate was sealed the moment the words "wojak vore" were uttered. Like a sleeper agent, something sinister woke up within him. The conversation inevitably shifted to the topic of the accursed image, as Mario kept expressing his wish to it. The conversation moved to the NSFW channel, and despite the wishes of Mr. Sex, the image saw the light of day for a few brief moments, before soon being deleted. One would think he would have gotten the message at that point. Yet it continued. Mere minutes later, another wojak vore image hit the server. 69MoeLester was under attack.
Sam soon entered the conversation. It was at this moment that it had all gone past the point of no return. When images such as those depicting such sacrilegious acts as wojak vore, it is not surprising that other pieces of content of such dubious moral value would be discussed as well. And when Sam mentioned the all too horrible cheese grinder image, followed soon after by Mario's calls for him to post it, it was clear that the situation had gone out of hand. The plug was pulled, the channel, along with all of its contents, was deleted, and a much more serious conversation was held.
It is important to note that it was well known at the time that Sam was a minor, and encouraging a person of that age to post gore porn is not considered proper reddiquette. The mods agreed. It was clear to everyone something had to be done concerning the situation at hand, and soon a trial was held in order to decide his fate and future on the server. In a decision of 4-2, it was decided that instead of simply stripping him of his mod privileges, he would permanently be banned from the server, effective immediately. Another one of many.
Although Mario was the one who incited it, Sam was not left off the hook. Due to many repeated incidents in the past, most of the mod team had run out of patience with him at this point in time, anything other than banning him seemed out of the question. It was then when Belize decided to vouch for him one final time. Should anything happen again, it was agreed that it would be the last time.
The TikTokker Saga: Part Two
Discord users are annoying. While this may not be the most eye-opening revelation to most, it is important to realize that even the low-life scum that are Discord mods are not able to handle the constant presence of the losers depraved enough to hang out in a place like 69MoeLester420. It was for this reason that the greatest minds of the Moederation Team banded together and decided to escape their woes brought on by the opening of the floodgates to the server. On March 9, a secret server by the name of ███'█ ██████ ███████, strictly classified to anyone but those deemed worthy enough by the Moederator Council to participate in. A place of complete and utter serenity, where perhaps one could finally find peace.
Of course, such an undertaking was not thought up in a vacuum, instead, it was a result of what was going to be a new age for 69MoeLester420, as something unheard of had happened recently. Another development in the sprawling story of the server, not that of punishment but of forgiveness, had taken place. TikTokker, the disgraced mod who had been banned weeks ago, was offered another chance, a promise to not behave in the same way she used to being all it took for the mod team to accept her back with arms wide open. Instanormie was given an apology for having her roles stripped away, her good behavior in the meantime being a clear indicator she should have them back. In fact, it was decided that not only would Instanormie get the Moewner role back but that the entire divison between Moewners and regular Moederators would be abolished.
And so the Moederators waited patiently. Radio silence was all that followed. Not a single word was heard from TikTokker for days, until the moment she decided to join ███'█ ██████ ███████ on March 17. For a little while, everything was great, things had gone to become just like they used to be all those months ago. On March 19, things changed, as the conversation, prompted by TikTokker, once again shifted to the topic of Sam. As previously noted, it was always quite obvious that TikTokker paid special attention to whatever Sam was doing, seemingly a target she had marked for herself, one which she would viciously attack over the many months of the server's history. Yet even though her treatment of Sam may seem unfair, it was never blind hatred, and always backed up by some sort of reasoning, which was not easy to ignore. After a comment of Sam's, who was known to be a minor at the time, linking to an e621 image of toothless dragon porn found under a meme on r/doodoofard, it was ultimately decided that a server like 69MoeLester420 may have been a poor influence on him, and he was soon banned from the server, never to return, the final chance given being wasted. Although such imagery was all too common on Reddit where weird porn passes as humor, the mods agreed that it still should not be encouraged, leading to this decision. On the same day, TikTokker would rejoin the main server, her roles given back to her, and it was all like nothing had ever happened.
The YesCompanionImbecil Partnership
On March 18, r/69MoeLester420 was approached with an offer, a partnership proposal from another shitposting subreddit. Such a request wasn't anything new, only a few months ago the subreddit was similarly offered a membership in a coalition by the epic name of the Shitposting Conglomerate, which has mockingly been referred to as the Reddit Avengers by the Moederators from the moment the message of their proposal was received. Turning down that offer had done 69MoeLester420 well, as a testimony from a moderator of one of the subreddits on the list would later provide an account of the terribleness of the server. Only a couple weeks after joining the partnership, they left, citing that the server was filled with gore and Ronnie McNutt videos. As one can imagine, this cannot really be considered comedy gold by anyone who wasn't subjected to a traumatic brain injury, and making light of a real-life suicide while subjecting oneself to an endless stream of human guts and insides is a line most mentally adjusted individuals don't really wish to cross. Needless to say, the subreddit dodged a bullet.
Yet even though the Moederators were wary of any such new requests, the name of the subreddit that decided to contact them caught their eyes. r/yescompanionimbecil. Owned by Kirbizia, the original creator of r/OKBuddyRetard, one of the most influential shitposting subreddits in recent years, and managed by Myszak, the one who made the proposal, it was clear to the Moederators that such an opportunity may never arise again. The offer, which was already taken by both r/IDONTGIVEASWAG and r/IkeaFreshBalls, was quickly accepted by r/69MoeLester420 as well. As it would later turn out, Myszak is one of the higher-ups on the irony.wiki, and offered the chance to add 69SwagBalls420 and any partnered subs to the wiki. This partnership was perhaps the only reason why this article exists in the first place.
The Story of Sam and Belize, The Climax
On March 16, it was noticed that Belize had left the server. At the time, the reasons for it were unclear, though fingers were immediately pointed at Sam's banning incident. By March 29, she was contacted by Mr. Sex, who went on to say that, while the drama was part of it, it wasn't the whole reason behind her leaving. The story, in fact, went much deeper. Not known to the other mods at the time, Walter was still in contact with Sam after he was banned from the server, revealing to him what was going on behind the scenes. The details of these conversations have been declassified for the purposes of this document. However, due to the quite emotional contents of these messages, most of them will not be shared.
On March 28, Sam messaged Walter, requesting him to say to Belize that he was sorry. Unknown to the rest of the server, the two have fallen apart over the course of the past several days. Blaming himself for it, and unable to contact her, he wanted to share the message through Walter in hopes that it would reach her. Although she left the server at that point, Walter still had opened DMs with her and soon engaged in a conversation with her about what happened with her and Sam. The response wasn't anything like he had hoped for, with an immediately hostile response stating she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
Walter, taken aback by the sharp tone of the messages he had received, immediately went back to Sam asking him what happened. Screenshot by screenshot, the story unraveled. As Sam would go on to say, Belize, normally quite energetic, as clearly visible by the volume of her messages, became really distant in the recent days, responding only in single word replies and never starting new conversations with him, finally culminating in a large string of messages where she loudly told him that it was over between them. While saying at first it's not because of him, in the end she broke and said she had enough of dealing with him and told him to "grow the hell up", before closing DMs with him, not allowing him to reply back.
Sam, who had known Belize for months at this point, was taken by surprise. While admitting he didn't even know her that well, he told Walter that he had never before liked someone as much as he liked her. And as much as discord e-dating gets dunked on, after months spent with them, you start caring about people, even if you have no face to attach their names to. Sam thought the same, saying how the MoeLester server was different than many other online spaces, and most people on it were really nice to talk to, likely due to the small nature of the server, with less than a dozen people talking there. Walter and Sam continued talking over the next few days. While the breakup certainly wasn't taken well, over the course of the next few days of talking feelings seemed to have stabilized and the outlook was marginally better. With Sam planning to leave Discord and Reddit behind, without many other details, the story was shared with the other mods.
The 69SwagBalls420 Merge
All good things must come to an end. The bad things must as well. On March 29, many months after its creation, the r/69MoeLester420 finally reached 10 000 members. The atmosphere was surreal yet joyous, and everyone was aware big things were to come. As Belize had left the server by this point, at least partially because Sam got banned recently, 69MoeLester420 recently fell into a state of decline as the two most active users were no longer there to keep the place alive. The subreddit, in spite of reaching such a member count, wasn't in a much better position either. This was quite unfortunate, yet the celebration of hitting such an important milestone provided an excuse to consider new options. A mod purge was executed in order to clean up the mod staff, wiping all inactive Moederators, those who have either been banned by Reddit or simply abandoned their accounts. Once that was completed with absolutely no error along the way,[14] the brainstorming could truly begin. At first considering the idea of recruiting new mods to help revive the place, Mr. Sex soon came up with the idea to merge servers with SwagBalls, with whom the 69MoeLester420 server had cordial relations for a few months. It was a big proposal, of course, and the first step before taking any sort of action was to put it up to a vote. The Moederator Council soon reached a conclusion, with a result of 5-0, it was decided that a deepening of relations would be offered to the sister server.
Within 24 hours, they accepted. The 69MoeLester420 mods were granted admin roles on the newly-merged server, deemed as equals, with their signature wholesome reddit funny numbers being added to the name, forming the iconic moniker of 69SwagBalls420. After all that happened over the course of the past months, it was only fitting that after an entire year since it was created, almost exactly to the date, 69MoeLester420 would finally recover and go on to become more than anyone had hoped for at the start of all this. It was an amazing ending, and not much more remains to be said except that everyone lived happily forever after, as this is where the story ends.
The TikTokker Saga: Part Three
Except it doesn't. To call the 69SwagBalls420 merge anything else other than chaotic would simply be to lie. The reason could be traced back to a single individual, one who had promised just a week earlier to stop this kind of behavior, a powermod like no other, TikTokker. As the old 69MoeLester420 server was a mostly isolated community that could barely reach 50 members, at least partially because the new users were relentlessly bullied and told to kill themselves [15], the Moederators never could have anticipated the effect dumping this barrel of toxic waste chemicals would have when combined with the much larger SwagBalls server, which numbered around 450 members at the time. The reaction was explosive.
With SwagBalls being a relatively chill server at the time, it wasn't surprising that the regular users would be put off by a completely new team of moderators, most of whom spent no time on the server prior to gaining admin permissions, calling everyone and everything unfunny from the moment they joined. This was the first red flag of many more to come, but simply being an asshole on the internet was not reason enough to permanently ban someone. Although such behavior did antagonize the users of 69SwagBalls420 against the newly-arrived Moederators, this was only a signifier of the things to come.
Perhaps it all would have been fine were TikTokker not to have made the discovery that Sam was a part of the server as well. As she was the one who called for his ban so many times in the past, finally succeeding just days before the merge, she quickly notified the other mods in #admin-family-guy-roleplay about Sam's presence. Nothing was done about it, as the consensus among the mod team was that there was no reason to do anything unless an incident arose. TikTokker seemed to agree, and everything went on as usual.
Behind the scenes, Sam was one of the first ones to complain about TikTokker's presence on the 69SwagBalls420 server, with good reason. Having been muted several times within a day of TikTokker joining, he immediately went on to warn Walter about what could happen if she was allowed to continue like this. At that moment in time, he already notified Lin about it, who said she was going to demod her for it, with Sam interestingly asking her to not do it as long as she stops.
It was not long after that a second red flag was quickly spotted, as TikTokker decided to participate in the Question of the Day by asking the server "when you suck dick do you grip the shaft or just go down on it with ya mouth". People were not amused, the moderators especially so, considering that the man who continually called out people like Sam or Belize for inappropriate behavior in the past would go on to post such a question on a server filled with minors. She was quickly called out and soon deleted the question. Once again, this was not something ban-worthy, a shitty joke like that shouldn't get anyone banned right away, yet these small incidents kept piling on, and the moment when it was all going to collapse was nearing ever closer.
Even though this situation was cleared and Sam's status in the server was thought to be a done deal, it was far from over. TikTokker, expectedly, did not stop acting like a dick just because the others nicely told her to. The occasional insults towards others morphed into more and more aggressive actions, and soon enough the powermodding she was known for was back on the menu. She got called out for it once again, and contempt towards her was rising. It was a powder keg ready to burst, and it would all finally explode on April 1, only two days after the servers were merged. And of all the straws that could have broken this camel's back, a seemingly inconsequential discussion about country music was the one that did it.
It started off innocent enough, a user sharing a "cold take", one that would ironically break the server apart, about how they were willing to listen to all genres of music apart from country and rap, which was just not their thing. TikTokker would go on to concur with the statement about country music, stating that it is the only genre along with metal she did not like. Mr. Sex would go on to interject and state that metal and country "slap", proposing that the only reason the hatred towards them was so widespread is that they are commonly thought of as "poor people music". An argument soon started among the people of the server, most of whom disagreed on why these types of music were so hated, by all accounts an average Discord conversation, were it not for the conversation's climax, as TikTokker decided to end it all off by calling Mr. Sex retarded. It was at that moment when all hell broke loose.
The mods had enough of TikTokker at this point, in the two days since the merge all she did was act like a complete and utter cunt, and if she was ready to act this way over something as insignificant as an argument on Discord, insulting people she knew for months like that, it was clear she had no place in the server. #main-chat devolved into utter chaos as the people of the server soon started calling her out for using slurs, and her past actions soon came into the spotlight, with Sam highlighting that TikTokker had acted this way long before she joined this server, with her behavior on 69MoeLester420 soon coming into the center of attention. TikTokker decided to handle the situation like an adult, timing out Sam for criticizing him. All the other mods were starting to turn against him, and as #main-chat was still engulfed in chaos, the conversation soon shifted to #admin-family-guy-roleplay, where a proper insult match between the members of the mod team soon started.
With only Instanormie stepping into TikTokker's defence, the other mods were less keen to support TikTokker's obviously hypocritical way of behaving, on the one hand presenting himself as a paragon of virtue while still participating in all those activities she so liked to criticize. A power mod to her core, an asshole like no other, everyone was sick of him, and Mr. Sex and Walter made sure to express those feelings directly to him, something that should have been done many months ago. A year of pent-up anger was finally released, and TikTokker left the server, never to show her face again. She was promptly banned from both the server and the subreddit, finally bringing this saga to an end. The members of 69SwagBalls420 soon found out what happened, and a collective sigh of relief echoed through the server. TikTokker was gone, and the world was at peace again.
The Story of Sam and Belize, The End
The Beginning of the End
With TikTokker and the 69SwagBalls420 dealt with, it was time to move on to other pressing matters. Still confused about what exactly she meant with her final messages, Sam asked Walter to send a message to Belize to ask her about it in order to get some closure. Writing to her in the same late hours of the night he now uses to write wiki articles about a defunct discord server, Walter messaged Belize and patiently awaited her response. Not long after did he get a notification ping.
Stating that all her bottled up feelings burst after a certain moment, she said she lost control while talking to Sam. Acknowledging that she was "a bit of a prick", she stated that although she didn't want to go off like that, she was unable to control her emotions in that moment, letting her anger take over. Hinting at possible mental issues previously, she stated that they may have contributed to this incident, but decided to take responsibility for it, saying that even with that taken into consideration, it was not right for her to do something like that. Ultimately saying she was sorry for everything, she said she didn't want to hear from Sam again, as she felt the current situation was better for both of them in the long run.
The messages between Belize and Walter were forwarded to Sam, who apologized to Belize in return, asking for just a picture of her dog as a final goodbye. In return, she asked for a picture of his cat. Soon, a couple of memes were exchanged between the two, with Walter as their messenger. The atmosphere, for the first time in weeks, felt relaxed between the two, and things were seemingly headed back to normal. Belize and Walter chatted for a bit about all the news surrounding the subreddit, which recently crossed 10.000 members, and the server, which merged with SwagBalls, along with all the surrounding drama. While she was offered the opportunity to come back and join the new server, she ultimately decided not to, leaving the place behind. With Walter headed to bed, Sam sent Belize one final request to start sharing images with her again. A reluctant, yet friendly "fine" was given in response, and it was almost like things went to how they were before. With a relationship mended, Walter softly went to sleep, and all of them lived happily ever after.
The Middle of the End
With the old server long defunct, and some mods not wishing to spend their valuable time on 69SwagBalls420, much larger and different than the 69MoeLester420 server, ███'█ ██████ ███████ provided a place for the old mods to reminisce about the good old days of two months ago as if they were aged war veterans. With Sam becoming a server admin on May 8, he was invited to the private Moederator server on June 8. Given how much things have changed in the past months, with TikTokker being replaced by the person she fought so hard to keep away, an old post from the history of the server was dug up, showing how TikTokker acted like an asshole to all new users, including the very person the server was named after. With the conversation now on Moe, soon enough, it became focused Belize. One of the most prolific reddit posters on the platform, amassing more than a million karma, it was of no surprise that she had interacted with another heckin' chonker like Moe, who managed to pull in similar numbers, during her time on the platform.
In fact, due to the many on-site interactions between the two, the relationship of this Reddit Powercouple was privately speculated upon, especially by the members of the old server, mostly due to the fact that Belize had Moe linked on her account under a hyperlink named "my lovely idiot" (in turn, Moe had her linked under "u/GallowBoob"[16]), leading to rumors of e-dating. Of course, with time, these theories fell apart, but the memories of them remained. The conversation casually continued to shift from subject to subject, ranging from 9GAG to Walter's gambling addiction and back to TikTokker's behavior on the new server, before finally returning to Belize. A good deal of old members haven't heard from her in months, as it turned out she had silently unfriended them since. While the exact reasons behind it were unclear, with this happening a while ago, Moe explained that she should be open to re-friending everyone once again now that the smoke has cleared. And so Belize, while not joining the secret server, once again re-friended all the mods of the old server. The mod team started to re-form, and all was good in the world.
The End of the End
A month passed on SwagCord. For the duration of this period, as far as Belize was concerned, it seemed as if things had finally completely returned to normal. That was the case until July 11, when Sam posted in the server's #serious-discussion channel, stating how he had stayed in bed for the entire day, not mentioning by name but heavily hinting at the fact that it was Belize who brought him to this point. Once questioned about it more, he mentioned that she had ghosted him two weeks ago and unfriended everyone else. At first blaming himself for it, stating that he was mad at her the last time they spoke, Moe quickly went to reassure Sam that he didn't need to blame himself for it.
As it would turn out, Moe had a falling out with Belize recently as well, saying how he had had enough of her keeping blowing up for apparently no reason, and told her that if she didn't want to continue speaking with him, it was her choice, but that she had no right to keep getting angry at him like that. With her past messages pointing towards certain mental issues in her headspace, it should be pointed out that although such things happening again could have been expected, it is not an excuse to keep bringing out one's anger onto people who care for you. Moe told Sam not to blame himself for her actions, and even though she knew both of them for a year at this point, that there was no point in holding on when she was just going to continue acting like this. In the end, with not much choice, all contact with her lost, Belize and everything that happened with her had to be left behind.
Not all discord drama is fun. Some of it just sucks.
Epilogue: Where Are They Now?
With TikTokker permanently gone, the members of 69SwagBalls420 soon came to accept the Moederators as their own, forever leaving the shadow of this dark event behind. Today, most new members aren't even aware things used to be different once upon a time, as the 69MoeLester420 mod team cemented its stay in the server.
Since the merge, Moe has been adopted as a server mascot of sorts, reclaiming the idol status he once possessed on the old 69MoeLester420 server. While his omnipotence has been constrained by the fact that he is not the server owner, having been placed in the naughty corner by Meme_Alt_Account for giving away mod perms too much, he nevertheless remains an ever important figure.
Walter, never forgetting the dark past he left behind him, took up the offer presented by the Irony Wiki, going on to write the most comprehensive overview of the old servers history the world has ever known. Even though he left Reddit amidst the 3rd-party crackdowns, he remains on the 69SwagBalls420 server, where he now draws award-winning Garten of Banban fanart, a new obsession of his which managed to cloud over even his fascination with Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy. He currently serves as the server's resident soyjak artist.
Mr. Sex constantly leaves and rejoins the server based on his mood. The only constant is that he keeps running the 9GAG account.
Despite everything that happened on the 69MoeLester420 server, Sam would later go on to become an admin on the newly-formed 69SwagBalls420, one final middle finger to TikTokker. Although the situation with Belize hit him hard at first, with time he has managed to move on, in the end managing to accept that he was not ultimately at fault for the way their relationship ended, at one occasion describing her as a "poopy butt". He still serves with distinction today, posting boykisser memes whenever the opportunity arises.
In the months that followed, koonsbmw was placed on a no-fly list after his many violent attempts to bring an end to Sam's. Currently on the run from federal agents, his exact whereabouts are unknown, although he does occasionally establish contact from his underground bunker in order to post incomprehensible soyjaks and Sopranos memes. He is rumored to be currently residing and posting in ███'█ ██████ ███████.
After months of complete radio silence, contact was once again established with TikTokker, who has since then become twitter [17] famous, amassing over a thousand followers. Using this newfound fame, she established a discord server named ████CORD, named after herself, modded along with her sidekick Instanormie. Deciding to pay her a visit, Mr. Sex and Sam joined the server, only to immediately be placed in the verification pit, a purgatory for all of those waiting in line to meet their favorite twitter microcelebrity. At the time of joining, around 7% of the server is estimated to belong to a caste of pit dwellers, beings lower than humans, only able to rise up the hierarchy by showing their twitter accounts.
One good thing did emerge from the verification pit, however, and that was the unlikely sighting of Max after all these months. Although he hasn't been active as of the time of writing, he did join ███'█ ██████ ███████, and the return of an old mod is always appreciated. As long as it's not TikTokker, that is.
The status of the other Moederators currently remains unknown.

Trivia
- According to a poll done between the server moderators on January 8, 2023, out of the eight respondents, five of them, or 62,5%, stated that they identified as a part of the LGBT community, providing minor evidence in favor of the age-old hypothesis that reddit mods are gay. Due to the small sample size, this research needs to be replicated before drawing any conclusions.
- The last user to join the 69MoeLester420 server, Cow milker, did so after it officially closed, due to invites still being open. Although Walter did cry for days to make Cow milker join the SwagBalls servers instead, it was all for naught, as the call were lost in the dark void of the server's tomb, not to be heard.
- Cow milker would eventually join the 69SwagBalls420 on July 27, 2023, months after the original server shut down. A small celebration was held before Cow milker crept back into the darkness once again.
- A conspiracy theory brought forward by Mr. Sex states that Cow milker may be an alt account of the High Priest, although such claims haven't been verified. While evidence is weak, the naming pattern is quite similar to the High Priest's, and such a long time of absence followed by a sudden reemergence strikes similar to the trolling performed by the High Priest in the past. At this moment, while amusing, the theory remains dubious.
- Despite the name, Mr. Sex is actually asexual. The opposite was the case with TikTokker, who started using the subreddit under the alias of Mr. Antisex. With time, TikTokker turned out to be neither a mister nor anti-sex, as she came out as both trans and pansexual since originally joining the server.
- Furthering the irony, Mr. Sex's opposition to NSFW posts on servers like this was contrasted with TikTokker's frequent posting of thugshakers.[18]
