Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW to prevent Reddit from monetizing it with ads.
Never mind. Maybe heβll read it, maybe not. He did the right thing imo and all i wanted is giving back.
Thank you for informing me about the topic and my misinterpretation.
There's no protest allowed on Spezzit. Glad I've moved on. Proud of the replies from the users in the thread seeking volunteers, they're like 'fuck this bullshit let it die'
It's fascinating that reddit is still continuing it's crusade against moderators after their attempts to find new moderators are so extremely successful. You'd think you can only shoot yourself in the foot so often.
Rather than holding the community over on Reddit hostage, let people be there and discuss things there if they want to. It's up to the individual whether or not to protest. Make Lemmy a better place to be than Reddit (probably not difficult if moderation over there goes to shit and everywhere gets filled with spam and trolls) and the users will come without the need to be all authoritarian about it. It's very frustrating for innocent users who are less into the politics just looking for some old bit of info and running into private communities everwhere
This was a cross post rather than a direct post to the community so it acts the same as if its posted on two different communities here like a lemmy cross post (with different threads based on the community the post is on)
If someone on mastodon commented on this version of the thread their comment would show up here
