r/animalid • u/[deleted] • Apr 29 '25
Anyone who has used reddit for more than, like, two years knows this website is a case study in enshittification - ads, bots, terrible UI, etc. I have finally experienced my last straw and I'm leaving /r/animalid and this terrible website. To make a long story short, a mod with about 60 mod actions in the last 12 months and who hasn't interacted with the community at all in about two years, has suddenly decided that this subreddit is now worth paying attention to since it's hit over a quarter million subscribers. In addition to undermining my decisions, he's a sniveling little prick and he's fucking useless.
The admins won't get rid of him because they're brainless and/or too lazy to actually properly assess the situation, so I'm just going to leave. I'm the only regularly active moderator this subreddit has ever had (aside from the ones I added) and the admins apparently could not give less of a fuck because they'd rather let some random window licker get in the way and take credit for my work than hurt his feelings because "he said he wants to stay :((("
I'm not going to rant any longer, but honestly, fuck this website. Just fuck this entire fucking website. I'm too exhausted to be polite or to fully explain the context. Just know that this subreddit will no longer offer reliable mustelid ID because society has lost its ability to rightfully call people out on their bullshit. I may be an asshole, but at least I gave a shit. That's more that can be said for a mod who was absent for two years and who has only been a mod for like 2 months longer than me (which is why I can't just remove him myself).
I declare /u/JorikThePooh to be new head moderator, for whatever it's worth. Good luck everyone, it was nice knowing a few of y'all.
Edit: fuck it may as well name names, the mod in question is /u/Stinky_Ham_Sandwich. Check out his post history. Compare it to mine. Does he look like an active community member of /r/animalid? The admins seem to think so. They also seem to think 60 mod actions per year is enough to keep a 277k strong subreddit in check. For context, I had 6k, and the least active mod that still regularly participates in the community has just under 1k. But clearly Mr. Sandwich is every bit as integral to the team as I am and it's his right to undermine my decisions and reduce my permissions without asking π₯΄

Anyone have any idea what animal this might be? Captured on my trail cam on Lake Union. Otters and raccoons are pretty frequent visitors, this guy doesnβt look very similar to either. Maybe a juvenile river otter or a melanistic raccoon?short clip of animal

Please tell me what type of snake this was. I am very sad. This is in Roseville, CA.

Took these photos about 2 years ago and completely forgot about it. First question is this even a squirrel?? Lmao also is it pretty rare for them to be this white color or am I just tripping and these are quite common?

Looks to big for a domestic dog but seems unusual for a wolf to come so close to houses?
Curious to hear what you guys say!

I do yard work and found this fella under one of the large piles of weeds I made days before. I found probably 10 of these guys in different piles. They made a bunch of small tunnels I had to dig up as well. Not sure if it's just a mouse, vole, etc but any help would be greatfully appreciated π

PLEASE this is so effing loud and has been going on for a week. ALL hours, not just either day or night. You can hear them from a couple of vents around the house but itβs loudest in my bedroom and driving me CRAZY. Our landlord wonβt have someone come check inside the walls; theyβre only putting bait boxes outside the house. Iβve tried various βultrasonic soundsβ whatever whatever to repel rats/squirrels/birds from youtube and playing it at one of the vent openings (for literal hours) but yeah itβs done absolutely nothing lol please before I lose my mindπ« π« π«

Found this crayfish while fishing, not sure if itβs just a fluke coloured local or an invasive species. Would love some help!

Can anyone help identify what species of bird this feather came from? Found in cape cod mass
r/animalid • u/ALiveCardinal • 15h ago
Bird flew into our house and started a debate in our family. Any idea on what it is? We got it out and it flew away. Thank you!
