I just never heard anything about it but heard so much from other, assumedly less powerful mods. I can’t remember the one’s name that was well known either…

    Yup - he almost quit around 2020, as he was being harassed as one of the “powermods”. Back then Reddit admins still pretended that they cared about the mods, but they did jack shit to 1) prevent users from harassing those powermods, and 2) curb down the powermods through policy. (And then the Aimee Challenor case popped up, showing that Reddit does have the tool to prevent harassment - but it’ll only use them to protect its own ranks.)

        I’m fairly certain that most alleged “harassers” just called his bullshit out, that’s probably your case. (IMO it’s fine.)

        However I do think that at least some people sent him death threats, “drink bleach” and the likes.
