Six years ago reddit Mod u/davidreiss666 knew that reddit's infamous Maxwellhill, aka 'Max' is a 'he'.

Hey there. I do want to point out that the article gets some basic facts wrong.

First, I resigned before r/Technology was removed as a default subreddit. I was given a heads up that it was coming, but that heads up came 4-6 hours after my resignation.

Second, the person who originally added Anutunsil as a mod of r/Technology was me. About 2.5 years ago, we needed more mods there and >

Anu was then one of the best mods on Reddit. I knew her, I added her. This is how I felt about her then.

Then a few days ago Anutensill removed AgentLame and TheSkyNet and the new-mods they were adding. I thought about it long and hard, but I had no other options. I removed Anutensil as a mod of r/Technology in response to her actions. There was no communication from Anu before she removed mods, after she removed them. or after her removal. She seems to believe she doesn't have to talk to her fellow mods at all.

Things in the subreddit were then stable and good for a day. I was receiving notes from people thanking me for doing the right thing. Then Max showed up the next day to undo everything. He added Anutensil back. Then he was removing moderators, adding mods, repeating, mixing, and never communicating with anyone. That's when I resigned. See this.

Then about 4-6 hours went by, and the Admins removed r/Technology as a default. I was not a moderator there when they did that.

For more back-story, I have made various previous comments. Please see these:

Long explanation including a lot of back history.

My resignation announcement.

Another comment here in SRD.

And in tech, I posted this response to Rolmos. The new mods of Technology decided to remove it. But there are some copies of it in the thread.

Back in the day, Maxwellhill was the first redditor to 1 million karma. At the time, I tried to get the Admins to say something nice about him. I know they offered him a trip to Reddit Headquarters then which he turned it down. He was also the first redditor to get 2 million karma. I posted about that in r/CenturyClub when it happened.

Other thoughts.... total, /u/Maxwellhill has modded, at one time or another, several default subreddits. He now mods r/Worldnews and r/Technology. The later only just having been removed. But he once modded r/Pics, r/Funny, r/AskReddit, r/IAMA, r/WTF, r/Politics and a few others. He was forced to choose when the three-default rule was handed down from the Admins.

Thanks for adding this.

Two observations: Unless I'm missing something, no proof was provided (that I saw reading the daily dot article) that maxwellhill is a he, and the DavidReiss666 guy is suspicious. 1) He's an (allegedly) hostile witness of the events described (this could be a case of phony orchestrated drama, like we've seen so many times here deployed by the consensus-crackers). 2) He's got 666 in his name.

In fact, what is jumping out to me right now is: What are the odds that one of Reddit's most notorious users:

  • Has the name "Maxwell"
  • Prolifically posts, except during a dozen instances when Ghislaine was known to be traveling
  • Subtly pushed topics of interest to pedos and upvoted a truly foul tale of incestuous baby rape and death
  • Moderated like a sociopathic demagogue
  • Used British phraseology
  • Deliberately stirred up forum drama that subverted default subreddits and triggered admin crackdowns

A quote from the article:

At the center of each kerfuffle is maxwellhilll who, like a British monarch, has gotten fat off years of inaction, behind the scenes shenanigans, and ignoring his communities.

I can't help think the whole thing, Reiss, Anutensil, Maxwellhill, are all the same group, working together to manipulate the userbase. I don't know enough about the history of that board or Reddit to understand what the purpose might be, but these people act like shills.

There is that element of deja vu feeling while reading about the drama.

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't buying the Ghislaine/Maxwellhill story. She wouldn't have had the time or the inclination for spending hours on reddit.

kestrel9 ago

So male redditor Max is all the rage with his gorillion karma points but we learn he was a jackass among mods (except the girl anutensil)...plus his perverse affirmation of the pedo baby fantasy writer... What karma does 'Max" get so many years later???

This: http://archive.is/CQGzc Getting ostracized as if he's Ghislaine Maxwell! lol

u/maxwelhill are they letting u use reddit from prison? Are u gonna be epsteined? Is steve puffman involved in the pedophile ring?

MercurysBall2 ago

I think that this whole thing may be a distraction from the Deutsche Bank/Epstein story... https://twitter.com/davidenrich/status/1280487639154659328

Deutsche Bank Settles Over Ignored Red Flags on Jeffrey Epstein - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/business/jeffrey-epstein-deutsche-bank-settlement.html

and remember Steve Bing? https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3888664/24426102

Steven Mnuchin was involved in Relativity Media, who had connections to Deutsche Bank, and later Ron Burkle.

We need to dig.

It is a distraction imho, certainly to me lol. Thanks for the links will check into it and review some notes.

I just did a new post in the pizzagate subverse about this.

Those were my same exact thoughts :)
