Is the timestamp in the screenshot what they’re talking about? It looks like it says 5 months, not 5 minutes.
That is correct, 5 months ago this account was made a mod - around the same time Maxwell was transferred to a lower security prison
Book deal to be announced soon!
It’s been a while, but I thought the theory that MaxwellHill was Ghislaine had been debunked, And it turned out the user was some guy in Malaysia who lived near a place known as Maxwell Hill?
It’s entirely possible I’ve fallen for a smokescreen, but also there never seemed to be a whole lot of evidence that account was Ghislaine’s other than the name “Maxwell”, which is pretty common.
And why? Like why would they or she do this? Just make another anonymous account if she actually cared to mod worldnews lol.
Reddit hiding sub counts not long after someone saw member counts varying by millions wildly to me seems like the bigger controversy.
I haven’t seen any definitive evidence that this account belongs to her
There’s no definitive evidence, just a bunch of coincidences like the month of birth but especially the active account stopping when she went to jail. And now getting mod when she’s released.
It’s really suspicious for sure, I was just hoping to see it confirmed
No that “debunking” doesn’t hold up. It’s not a Malaisian man.
this claim started to look suspicious when people found that MaxwellHill had mentioned he/she had “visited” Malaysia before (which is not something one typically says about one’s home country).[2]

Most interesting development is the timing of when the MaxwelHill got added to the mod team again.
The account itself does not appear to have a post history since Ghislaine got “freed”. So adding it to the mod team of one of the biggest Reddit subs at that timing is just… Weird…
Trump’s going to pardon her, he let his rich Nazi friends know
Can someone gut her in the restrooms please?
I mean, no. She’s in a cushy medium security prison, nobody there is going to be dangerous enough to be the type that stabs, and if there is one they’re kept away from ol’ gizzy.
Like on one hand it’d be easier to do (not get away with though) being medium security, but that’s precisely because nobody will.
Hot take but none of these admins should be anonymous. If you don’t want the responsibility/risk then let someone else do it. Crazy how the biggest subreddits are being ran by secret groups coordinating outside of reddit itself.
Wait, she’s a Reddit mod? It all makes total sense.
- doesn’t go outside
- spends all day doing it for free
- obsessed with “antisemitism” and pedo apologism
- no longer allowed near playgrounds
100% she is a Reddit mod
And they fuckin’ permabanned me for using the expression “kick rocks?” What the living purple FUCK?
I got banned from r/worldnews for supporting Luigi Mangioni
o7
Saying slurs— Big laugh.
Pushing disinformation— Kills.
Sex-trafficking children— Knocks ‘em dead.
“Kick rocks”— No.
Im assuming you said a right winger, nazi, etc could kick rocks. Those kids could be future radical leftists!
r/worldnews is a zionist hellhole that has long been astroturfed
Huh. Back when I first started reddit it was just super racist.
deleted by creator
I got so sick of that subreddit years before I left Reddit. They basically want nothing to change at all, and are very condescending about how great they think things are going.
Make sense worldnews is a zionist shithole.
U/Maxwellhill is back?
Back as r/worldnews mod at least. The account itself has not posted any comments or posts since Ghislaine Maxwell went to jail.
I got banned from that sub back in the ye olde days for posting the following picture in like a 50 comment deep meme thread on a random article involving Pakistan:
1992 Imran Khan shooting practice
do you think that photo goes hard
gosh what an obsolete stance. What’s next? The 1970’s arm brace/pooping stance?
You joke but I can totally see some dude full squatting with a knockoff AK lmao.
If people are used to squatting as the default sitting position, it’s only a matter of when lol.
Jfc, this should be shocking, but well, it isn’t. And I hate that so much.
shouldn’t surprise anyone considering spez used to mod r/jailbait.
So wouldn’t surprise me if she and her husband were buddy-buddy with Spez at some point. she clearly is still buddy-buddy with someone in the admin team or higher or simply several reddit mods.
Reddit is a pedophile, facist, and zionist haven. If you’re still using reddit guess what? you’re having a pint of beer in a pedophile-nazi bar. get off it.
And lemmy is full of people that say the tienamen square massacre was good and actively deny the uyghur genocide.
If you’re using lemmy, you’re having a pint with with genocide supporters, nevermind the extremely odd amount of loli enjoyers.
It’s a federated network and you can block .ml, grad, and hexbear yourself or chose an instance that is already defederated from them.
Useage of lemmy spreads the software and increases donations to the creators regardless of if you federate with them or not.
We’re getting into some pretty third-order issues at this point, I don’t think the nazi bar metaphor really holds up anymore
It’s like paying working in the same town as the Nazi bar. Maybe your taxes do end up keeping the roads and sidewalks that do go past the bar, but to say that’s supporting the bar is a stretch
Why is bro posting on Lemmy then
Ah I see you’ve run into the hexbear people. Theyre like the mentally ill homeless guy who just jerks in the middle of the street; better to leave them be, it’s just about never worth getting involved.
what’s that say about you?
He never said that he doesn’t support upper mentioned things. He just stated the fact.
Im pointing out a double standard.
I dont give a shit otherwise. Im just trying to have a good time in this late-stage capitalist hellscape where there is no ethical consumption.
Nobody says it was good, the two camps are “it was bad” and “that’s not what happened at all”, and they’re 100% right about the fictional genocide
Unless there’s more to that, the spez claim is probably bullshit. Obama was a mod of r/jailbait. Anyone could be added as a mod and they didn’t have to accept.
He wasn’t actually a mod of it like people say he was just part of the administration team at Reddit at that point and they awarded the mod of Jailbait a custom badge. Still super weird, but yes you’re right he was never a active mod there. (Edited for clarity)
He did edit comments made about himself though because his feewings got hurt which is completely unacceptable as well. Fuck Spez.
He was appointed a mod, which could happen without the user approval at the time. But he remained on the “mod team” until the sub was shut down a few years later.
Yes but wasn’t an active mod just was put on the list like anyone could have been at the time.
The Pimp Daddy award that they gave the active mod of that subreddit though is much more problematic in my opinion because that was a decisive decision.
You can get banned there for such a multitude of things, you’d have thought ‘Being in prison for trafficking children’ was on that list. Apparently that’s fine, though.
Added back? She was a moderator there in the past??
