They are doubling down and tripling down: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueRandomThoughts/comments/11x4103/i_regret_nothing_about_what_i_knew/

They are also frustrated people are editing posts after being banned: https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/11x7mhd/banned_user_can_still_edit_locked_threads_and/

When in reality, the whole issue happened when they deleted posts they said they would leave up for transparency, and went on to blanket ban mass amounts of active users and contributors. They started multiple threads to explain themselves, then deleted those threads when users, in pretty much total agreement, downvoted them and rallied against them.

The crazy /r/massachusetts moderator just added a couple "powermods" from the needamod thread.

So now there's not only the crazy mod, but one powermod that mods 60+ subreddits and another that mods like 40+ mostly porn subreddits.

The Massachusetts subreddit is being actively ruined by this guy.

EDIT: those mods have been removed as per the original moderator. phew.

I lived in Beacon Hill with a baby and no car, and this was before getting things delivered was much less of a thing. Overall, it was totally fine. I generally walked everywhere anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. We did have to plan things a little better, just so we weren't dealing with that T at rush hour. Shopping usually meant going more often and getting less stuff if I had the stroller with me. Bigger stuff would have to be delivered or picked up with a ZipCar.

We "invested" in a Bugaboo stroller, and it was totally worth it despite the cost. It was super maneuverable and easy to push around. It also folded and unfolded quickly and easily, so getting around in places with stairs wasn't too bad.
