The 69MoeLester420 Discord server was a small server dedicated to the shitposting subreddit r/69MoeLester420. Although it closed on March 30, 2023, after it merged with the 69SwagBalls420 Discord server, and despite its small size, numbering barely 50 members at its peak, the cultural impact of this place should not be understated, as much of the drama present in the old server transferred to the new one. Some of the drama got resolved, buried, yet still remembered. Some of it might forever plague the new server as well. Only time will tell. Until then, may the history of this server stay preserved and serve as a cautionary tale.
History
r/place
The server first opened on April 3, 2022, during r/place, at the initiative of WalterWhiteOnReddit and Max5923. Soon enough, some of the other mods decided to join the event, their esteemed names being:
- Mr. Sex
- SlenderSmurf
- Mendev
- Gladiux
Some of these people would soon fade into obscurity. Others, however, will forever remain part of the 69MoeLester420 mythos. As the server link was soon posted to the subreddit, 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 simply decided to keep using the place, having been much more convenient than modmail during the past few days. For a while, the server remained relatively inactive, with a few shitposts having been posted daily without much discussion in between, at best consisting of a dozen messages before going quiet again. They say hindsight is 20/20, many things we may simply ignore at the time and sometimes forget even happened, change their character once looked at in a different light. The fact that Gladiux was quick to insult anything he didn't find funny was one of them. At the time missed as he expressed thoughts perhaps shared by us, looked back on it almost seems to foreshadow the events that would transpire an entire year later.
On April 4, Bufner joined the server.
On May 22, Gio249, another subreddit mod and a friend of Gladiux, joined the server.
The Renaissance Era
On May 23, Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy is released on AMC+. The Breaking Bad community goes wild. Having been released so close to the season 6 finale of Better Call Saul, a show of such a low caliber was seen almost as a personal insult, a clear cash-grab meant to do nothing but capitalize on the success of its sister show, Family Guy for kids, with none other than Saul Goodman as its face. Those were the opinions of the uneducated masses, of course, the everyday man, one unable to spend the time to critically think about what he watches. The show did not fly under 69MoeLester420's radar, as the true intellectuals over there were not able to only see the genius in such a masterpiece but even responded with their own. On June 4, Pickle Jimmy was released into the world, which has remained changed by it ever since.
On the very same day, lightning would be captured in a bottle once more, as emojis would be added to the server. Trollface was the first one suggested by none other than Deez, yet it was soon trumped by the world-famous Trollbama, courtesy of r/trollbama, a subreddit once moderated by Mr. Sex, with the task of keeping the place alive now having been passed down to WalterWhiteOnReddit. As inconceivable as it may seem that comedy gold would be struck two times in a single day, the third one was the real kicker, a combination of the two worth more than the sum of its parts, the :picklejimmy: emoji. After such a massive hit, the entire comedy industry went out of business, knowing that nothing was going to surpass the heights achieved on that faithful day.
After that day, the server became active once more, actual conversations started being held in between image posts, and the server was almost as alive as 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 done to follow through with the suggestion, over time it got repeated so many times it was finally implemented.
CatKicker6617
Contrary to popular belief, the r/69MoeLester420 subreddit was not opened by Moe himself. Instead, the user KittenStomper6617 was responsible for the creation and early growth of the community. Having gotten permabanned from Reddit, not much was known about what happened to him in months, as he was not a member of the server. All ties between him and the mod team were severed, or so was thought, until August 2, when WalterWhiteOnReddit noticed a peculiar comment under one of the subreddit's posts.
The reaction was primal, instantaneous, without thought, the idea that the owner of the subreddit was back after so many months in exile was astounding, almost seemed too good to be true. An entire evening was spent in blissful ignorance, the sight of CatKicker6617 was treated almost like the return of the Messiah, until another message was received and all hopes went down the drain. A reply under one of CatKicker6617's comments which contained a link to a comment in the subreddit r/TrueSTL, a subreddit KittenStomper6617 famously used to frequent. Once clicked, the link led to an edited comment of KittenStomper6617's, calling CatKicker6617 out, exposing them for the fraud they were. The joy found from seeing KittenStomper6617 soon started to fade, until a realization was made moments after! KittenStomper6617 was still alive, actively editing his comments! The alt account with which KittenStomper6617 notified the moderators about the edit got banned only hours later. Although KittenStomper6617 was gone, there remained hope.
On December 3, Ivan697 joined the server.
The Dark Ages
On December 6, the server link was added as an automatic response, with every post on the subreddit now containing an automoderator reply which would lead to the server. While previously the majority of the conversations were held almost exclusively by the mod team, with the notable exceptions of the users Deez and Norman the Mormon, this action resulted in a sudden influx of new users who started to participate in the discussion. Given the sheer brilliance of the posts present on the subreddit, it was of no surprise then that the moment the server opened it took a major downturn in quality. This period, having such a negative impact on the overall state of the server, allows for the server's history to be split into two parts, the first part, when the server used to be nothing more than a glorified group chat for the Moederators, and the second, when the server truly became part of the community at large. Although the first few days after the opening were rough, it would prove to be a blessing in disguise, in time revealing many issues present in the server and the mod team.
The Departure of Max
The Exile of Bufner
On December 20, Bufner left the server and hasn't been contacted by any Moederator since.
An Odd Fellow
On December 17, a new user joined the server, one of many, their presence barely registered by the mods. After a few messages, done in furry speak, in one of them seemingly recognizing koonsbmw as the furry moderator from the subreddit, the user went silent for the most part, before starting to engage in conversations once again 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, professing love to both of them, as though the mods knew who this user was, instead of them being a complete stranger.
Although the user was quiet for the most part, they radiated generally wholesome energy whenever they were there, and their presence was generally appreciated. Such behavior was quite unusual in shitposting servers, yet it was still a nice break from the usual negativity that was by default present in these spaces. Either way, they were much better than most of the new server members, not much needed to be said beyond that.
The conversations on the server continued, as though nothing was out of the ordinary, I mean, such conversations are relatively normal in an ironic context, which the server most definitely provided. The fact that someone cared this much about the moderators was strange, most Reddit users don't give a swag about who their moderators are for the most part, yet even so, the occurrence wasn't weird enough for it to really stick in the minds of the mods. A special look at the user was only taken on January 3, when Mr. Sex shared the news of yet another KittenStomper6617 alt account being banned from Reddit.
All it took was but a single message.
It all suddenly clicked.
And the server went wild.
KittenStomper6617 was back, and back for good.
The Swag Alliance
On January 8, r/LesbianInsectBrothel was banned from Reddit. A sudden influx of gore videos hit the subreddit, as the mods, inactive accounts that haven't logged into the website in weeks, did nothing to stop it. Seeing such a huge subreddit being purged by Reddit, as a response to a situation no one could have predicted, made the moderators of other similar shitposting communities reconsider their approach to moderating, with new harsher, stricter methods being implemented all across the website. r/69MoeLester420 was no exception.
The Moederators, in their eternal wisdom, already figured out a system that was about to be implemented which would be able to deal with the exact 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. It was a glorious idea, one unthought of before, yet another proud creation of the server to be remembered forever, one for the ages. With the propaganda department hard at work, there was no possibility this could have been a failure, for months the mods have been preparing themselves for this.
And then came along 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, stolen, repurposed as cheap entertainment for the masses over at r/IDONTGIVEASWAG, left with no soul, no passion like those that were once regularly posted by Moe. Now this. The greed of IDGAS knew no end. We were left with but a single option. This meant war.
A question remained, however. How could such a piece of information even reach the hands of the enemy? We had a mole within our ranks, an imposter among us, someone we trusted dearly, yet also knew held no allegiance to our flag. 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 hard nut to crack. Even so, 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.

| This section has been flagged by the Automatic Moderating Overseer Granted Unlimited Supervision as revisionist propaganda. Do not trust what has been written in the section above. 69MoeLester420 has never and will never be a safe haven for Swag Givers. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying. Do not trust any evidence provided to prove the contrary, it has all been fabricated by the enemy. Swag Nation and 69MoeLester420 always stood together as allies, with a formal agreement being signed on January 8, 2023. Lin and Meme_Alt_Account have both been great allies to the cause. Glory to Moe Lester and the Moederators! Long live Swag Nation! |
The Return of Moe
January 8 was an important day for the shitposting community at large. The shutdown of r/LesbianInsectBrothel echoed throughout the landscape, and from its ashes quickly arose new partnerships and approaches to moderation meant to stop such an event from happening again. As discussed in the previous section, 69MoeLester420 has not been left out and actively participated in the shifting tides that emerged after such a drastic event. Yet nothing could prepare the people of the server for what was going to transpire next.
The absence of Moe throughout the history of the server may seem odd to outsiders, for why dedicate a server to a person who isn't even there to see it? It may seem like a foolish decision to most, where others would have given up, as Gladiux once suggested, turn the server away from what it originally was, the people of 69MoeLester420 persevered, knowing that one day their prayers would be answered, and the One would grace them with their presence. It was on this faithful day, January 8, at precisely 8:40 PM, UTC±00:00, that it would finally happen, and by God was it glorious. With KittenStomper6617 and Moe both being part of the server, 69MoeLester420 was at its highest point yet. The place had never been this active before, a widespread celebration was held, our Savior was finally here!
The Story of Sam and Kae
On January 10, Samarm132 joins the server, at the time a regular subreddit member just like any other. Although he wasn't known by name at that point, he was discussed previously on the server, or rather, a post of his that could be found on r/ihaveihaveihavereddit, with Gladiux initiating the discussion on the declining quality of that subreddit.
Soon enough, however, it was starting to show that Sam, as he will be referred to for the rest of the article, was not a complete random, as he soon revealed that he knew Berkabitz, a Reddit user that was often joked about being in a relationship with Moe due to an abnormal amount of messages sent between them. This piece of information will become more relevant to the story as it approaches its end, and as such, should be kept in mind. In the beginning, it did not matter much, however, as the new user was quickly dismissed as annoying by the entirety of the mod staff. In spite of this, Sam decided to stay on the server.
On January 16, Berkabitz, from now on referred to as Kae, joined the server.
On the same day, Sam did a reveal of his computer monitor. This detail is not relevant to the story in any way, I just wanted to show that thing to you guys. The dimensions of it are absolutely comical.
The server quickly started being more active than it had ever been before as Kae and Sam starting dominating the conversation in the server. With the SwagBalls moderators and Moe remaining active in the following days, combined with the many conversations of Sam and Kae that kept the server alive through the night, the server reached a new peak in activity, unparalleled even by the days of r/place- Such an increase in activity on a server quickly prompted the mods to set their sights elsewhere and expand their realm of influence, resulting in the First MoeLester 9GAG conquest.
The 9GAG conquest
The name of 9GAG has long instilled fear in the hearts of internet users. It was like a time machine that led to a darker age, to a time when rage comics were laughed at unironically and advice animals considered peak comedy. Frozen in time, as the years passed, and social media websites rose and fell, 9GAG, despite the odds, managed to survive all this time, quite a curiosity how it hasn't gone bankrupt yet. To the rest of the internet, it was where funny went to die, a project doomed to failure, an alternative to Reddit that was inferior in every way. Yet 9GAG went on, it carved its own little niche, one which would turn away most, yet also one where the rage comic artist could find a home.
The moederators, however, would not be scared so easily. On January 17, Mr. Sex would go on to install the app. A true believer in the cause, he acknowledged he wasn't being a wholesome chungus lately, and wished to set himself on the right track again by visiting the dankest site there is. And by God, it was everything we had hoped for and so much more. Everything we saw there was entirely antithetical to what comedy should look like, every single post drained our will to live little by little, the existence of such a place was so paradoxical, why would so many people willingly choose to spend their time on 9GAG of all places? It was perfect.
It was soon after that the other members of the server started making accounts on the website. Mr. Sex made a post on the site, but it was left largely ignored by most of the userbase. It would not be until Walter made a post[2] that things started to kick in. It was a massive hit, with a total of 168 downvotes soon showering the post. The comments section was incredible.
So much vitriol contained in only a few replies, it was stunning to watch, it was like seeing two bullhorns fighting, showing all their might, but instead of a brutal fight to the death, reaction images older than the average reader of this article were exchanged, with a few Reddit-tier comebacks mixed in as well. It was quite a sight, and the other mods soon realized they wanted in on the fun as well. Koonsbmw created an account soon after, and the conquest truly began. And soon, we would be blessed with what may as well be the greatest moment in history, one to be remembered for the ages, so hilariously great that its memory remains preserved long after the 69MoeLester420 server was archived.
Not everything went smoothly, however, as a wrench was thrown into our plans. The 9GAG devs, realizing that keeping the server running put on too much of a strain on the single hamster they employed for such a task, decided to place a daily limit on how much you could post, and 10 minutes had to pass before one could post or comment again. This did not stop the proud 69MoeLester420 army, it should be noted, as they steadily continued marching on into enemy territory. It was comforting to see that the 69MoeLester420 ideology started spreading even among the locals, as insults were thrown at us, we had allies.
And then the news broke. The daily upload quota has 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, looks like a distant dream. 9GAG is a stronghold not even Reddit's dankest chungi can take over, its users, like a hivemind, valiantly respond to any form of outside aggression. 9GAG is here to stay, in spite of our efforts, just like it stood for many years before. While more raids would be attempted in the future, it was always with the knowledge that the forces 9GAG would gain the upper hand by the end. There is no winning against these "people". Whatever you may try to do, this is their territory, and they will fight for it with all their might, never surrender, only stopping fighting when the enemy is gone. It doesn't matter how many n-words have to be dropped to achieve that.
