This is a good moment to remind the Lemmy devs to add more fucking mod tools
Did Steve tell you that? Steve..
Reddit gives its mods the same kind of respect drug dealers give junkies
Hey, that's not fair to drug dealers. I've heard many kind stories about dealers helping people. If something happens to their customers then they can't buy anymore. If something happens to Reddit mods, they just replace them.
Ive known some people of a very criminal inclination and most of them were actually really good people if you didnt equate laws and morality.
Trauma. Takes a while to get over.
I left the day they made the switch and, after 12 years as a daily user, i haven't logged into my account since. Because of Lemmy, don't miss it one bit. The only reason I ever see reddit posts is when they happen to show up in any of my DDG searches. Usually, they show up when I'm trying to seach for info flabout a game or mods, at which point my reddit usage is purely utilitarian. I dont login and i no longer use it as any source of entertainment or online social interactions.
Lemmy reminds me of very early Reddit, which is unrecognizable in its current state. After years of stupid decisions, the overwhelming barrage of adds, trackers and corperate greed, the reddit I found so engaging and entertaining was lost years ago. My exit was just an acknowledgement of that truth.

Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Feel basically the same way you feel except that curiosity has gotten the better of me more than once.
Feels like Lemmy should be seeing more growth?
IMO there's certainly nothing wrong with going on reddit. There's still stuff there but it's just not the same and it's not for me. They don't respect their users at all and I'm just not going to give them anymore of my time.
I haven't been here all that long butI think Lemmy is growing and real growth takes years. It seemed like reddit was this little secret for the first few years, then BOOM! Massive growth and it was a slow decline after that. Lemmy is on the upswing and with any luck, this place won't fall into the same pitfalls ar reddit.
At least here in lemmy we won't found turtle mod for now.....
They wrote it wrong: A Home for New Mods

Same diff on reddit
You know its bad when the Reddit icon for Moderator makes it look like a soldier going to Vietnam.
Average Reddit Moderator right now:
I’m gonna…
I’m gonna…
I’m gonna fight misinformatioooon!
Especially given the
scabsmods (no, actually scabs was right the first time:-) that they brought in. Shudder - it's foxes running the henhouse now, there will be blood.From what I've been told, out of the three active subs I modded that got yanked and restaffed with whoever, only one isn't a bot ridden mess.
And that one is kinda shit (again, that's second hand) now.
Not that I was some paragon of modding, it's just that you can't have random assholes put in place after actual users are pissed off and expect things to work out well.
