spez is so fucked
Obligatory fuck /u/spez
People joke about being addicted to reddit but imagine the mods. They are probably the most addicted/invested out of everyone to want to provide such services for from. Super proud of the mods who didn't crack but not surprised that so many either just protested for show or buckled under slight pressure.
I maintained a fairly neutral position (as a mod) while the blackout was starting, but I'm slipping more and more into the Lemmy rabbit hole. First it was getting my own instance running, but now things are starting to take shape and it's actually a lot of fun trying to keep up with both the server hosting and community building. Plus, everyone here has strong small-Internet-town vibes, which makes interacting with people much more enjoyable than on Reddit. My goal is to get my instance self-funded through donations, but I'm more than happy to keep paying for hosting in the interim. People who talk about Lemmy not being a "viable alternative" probably say so because they don't get it.
I am surprised I never hear of people running it from old desktops or such. A fibre internet connection and a old desktop is gonna be faster than the cheaper tiers of online hosting. This is especially true if you say upgraded your desktop in the last couple if years and kept the old parts like I did.
Really by the mods or admins posing as such?

It got removed because you can’t insult your fellow protesters. It sows division in a movement and that’s the last thing we need right now.
We need to be working together. If experienced mods think the new mods aren’t making good decisions, it’s their job to educate and motivate them.
Not make fun of them.
Besides admins are already working on union busting (for lack of a better term in this context).
The whole point of Mod Coord is coordination.
I screamed at one of the mods of the r/ModCoord team in the comments of a thread because they were absolutely not willing to commit to that. Allegedly they were making all decisions on some Discord or other which I had never heard of.
For security reasons it may make sense to do that, but the r/ModCoord team had also made it impossible to post anything on r/ModCoord and would not respond to modmail either.
Even in the best possible light: As someone who did some union organizing in the past, it was obvious to me that the r/ModCoord team did not know what it was doing. Whether that was out of ignorance, incompetence or malice is a different question...
This is the real question.
Of note, old.reddit doesn't display the "this post has been removed" message while new.reddit does; in old the post appears to still be up and normal.
This is fairly standard, though, whether or not that message shows in old.reddit has always been wildly inconsistent.
yep I used old, because on new I don't see the image, only title + post removed message.
some of the comments are pretty good too, at least the ones with positive karma
The only way to tell if a post was mod removed on old reddit when direct linked, if there is no mod removal message (itself a cowardly indicator), is if the thumbnail shown turns blank and shows the "snoo with ?". Reddit appears to purge thumbnails from removed posts.
Darn I really want freefolk in here
they're still going. 8 days private now
fucking glorious hahahahahahahahha
I was the lone mod of a small sub. I did made the sub go private for 48 hrs. After that i made a poll asking whether i should close the sub indefinitely. 75% of the members said no. So then i asked people to step up to be mods so i can leave and i did just that after assigning 2 mods.
A bunch of big subs just got purged of all moderators
Like .. why though? (Why remove it I mean to ask)
baddit is scrd lol
I mean its not really effective to use a corporation's platform to coordinate a protest against the same corporation's policies. Kinda reminds me of an article that said that some Apple Employees are using Android devices due to fear of Apple spying on iPhones if they used to coordinate a unionization attempt.
Epic post, brother. Your watch has ended.
