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₯΄

Saw a picture of these little goobers and trying to figure out what it is.

First off, sorry for the burry picture. Didn't want to spook the little guy.
Spot it on a night walk. It was around 30-40cm long?
Rotated on its own, and the tail seemed to wiggle like the end of a snake?
My current suspicions are either a Chinese Slug Snake or a type of caecilian?
thanks in advance!

I know a beaver lives in this pond. Sorry for bad audio.

One of the locals says it's a bug but it sounds more like a frog to me? Any ideas? It sounds pretty distinct.

iβve been told itβs a fox, or a coyote but it doesnβt really look like either to me. iβve seen fox in our yard, and this animal isnβt similar. a stray cat had killed a mouse on our front steps and it came around sniffing a few hours later. hopefully the pictures are helpful, thanks!

Hey! Wer von euch kann sagen, welches Tier hinter diesen FΓ€hrten steckt? Sind sie von einem BraunbΓ€ren oder kann das nicht sein und ich bilde mir das nur ein? Hab sie gestern in den KΓ€rntner Alpen entdeckt. Leider nur diese zwei.
Danke schon mal fΓΌr jede hilfreiche Info. Lg Tom

Unfortunately our camera didnβt start recording until it had hopped the fence (~6 ft tall fence)

Any ideas what this animal might be? We have a lot of coyotes in the area, but Iβm wondering if it could be a fox or something else. It moves pretty quickly in the footage, so itβs hard to get a good look. There werenβt any lights on, so the Nest camera was recording in infrared night vision, which makes it even harder to tell.

I spotted a fairly large animal flying in the moonlight on my way home. This time is 9:30pm. Unfortunately, my phone completely failed to capture it properly, so this blurry video is all I managed to get.
Could it have been a bat, a Black-crowned Night Heron or some kind of raptor (perhaps an owl)? Any thoughts?

We live really close to a river, there are snails in our yard but Iβve never seen tracks like these!! This is on the outside of a glass door. The tracks just end, no snails stuck on the glass!! Crazy! And theyβre too high up for the kids to reach, so itβs not toy car tire marks π

I know that the bird is a Willet, but I'm not sure what it caught. It looks like some kind of sea creature to me but I'm not really sure what it could be. The bird was hunting along the shallow water that washes up onto the beach and sticking it's long beak into the sand.

Sorry for the bad photo but any help in figuring out what species, had a black and white zebra style striped tail.

I was sitting on a hill looking at the city when I heard it and it scared me a bit so I got up to leave and I decided to start looking for whatever it was but failed to get a visual on it. This was specifically on the Micheal D. Antonovich trail in San Dimas if that helps at all.
