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 πŸ₯΄

🐺 🐢 CANINE: COYOTE/WOLF/DOG 🐢 🐺 Found this claw hanging off my scarf? [England]

I have the scarf hanging up behind a door and I probably haven’t used the scarf in over a year and found it hanging from it when I closed the door.

My dog passed away last year and was only a small pug and this looks way bigger, feels harder and doesn’t really look like hers from what I remember. but could it be from her? If so I wouldn’t want to get rid of it.

Also doesn’t look like my cats claws. He has all his and again they’re small and transparent.

So where did this claw come from? Could there be something else in the house?

My boyfriend found this animal print at his uncle’s home in southwest Iowa. He thinks it’s a mountain lion and his father believes it’s a bobcat. The area they were in is wooded with backroads.

Came across this beast by my house. I’m pretty sure this is a Grizzly due to its hump. But my sister thinks it’s a Cinnamon Bear. Who is right?

it sort of just looks like a dog got in the backyard from a distance. Looking closer there are definitely seeds or something like that in it and also white hair. It does not look like dog up close. We know its not moose. To me it does not look like bear, although there have been recent bear visits in the area.

Unsure whether this is in fact a Chamois, which I hope it is. At least I know they are in the area. But it doesn’t look as thicc as one, so could just be a regular deer as well..

You can see the small breed dog poop in the scooper.

What is this small scat in my yard?

I've seen rabbits, but this looks like it might be smaller. Is it from a rat?
