Love how they bellyache about the mods not doing a good enough job when they spent the final weeks of the June protest harassing the existing mods and and basically dismissing and disrespecting all the work we were doing for the past decade. They just expected things to go back to business as usual and the mods should just shut up and continue doing unpaid janitorial duties for the benefit of spez out of sheer momentum I guess? The scale of their entitlement is unreal.
Seems like the way for reddit to "solve" this is to just close bad subs.
But that's easily exploited, if people migrate to other subs and start protesting the sub closures, those subs get worse and they need to be closed...
Oh no, reddit, did you just discover that you relied on your users to make your site good and by screwing them over you've made your entire business unsustainable at scale?
Also, somewhat related, is there a short snappy name for lemmy communities? Some people call them subs out of habit but I don't wanna do that, and "communities" is four whole syllables, and ain't nobody got time for that.
I like it here on Lemme. I feel pretty comfy. And most of you here are tech savvy. And if not, at least you have some level of basic true understanding of how technology works., Unlike those impostor syndrome redditors. And I suppose it's a plus that corporations don't hunt us down for discussing piracy.
What a goofy interpretation of that series of events. Reddit changes API which fucks over moderators -> mods protest and say if they can't use these tools they can't moderate -> when API restrictions come into effect, mods either leave over moderating being way harder now or basically not being able to mod
Why is that final step so hard for this person to believe? All of Reddit moderation wasn't lying to people for fun
wonder how mods disappearing and reddit API changes might be related 🤔
"Yeah, well, but having no mods is actually great, we don't even need no mods and these grapes are too sour anyway." - not an alt account of spez at all
Awww that's too bad.
Oi @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ! Are you one of the Reddit Piracy mods? Or are one of your brethren here from Reddit?
I must say I find Piracy, Linux and the Star Trek communities have had a rip-roaringly successful switch over.
I much prefer Lemmy. I have the opportunity to call you a "dick head" whereas on Reddit there's no way Spez would ever see me calling him a "dick head".
That makes me feel powerful and I become engorged.
So, anyway, are you one of the Reddit mods?
P.S. I can't post to this community from Lemmy.World.
I wouldn't mod r/privacy at reddit and become the case law that removes section 230 immunity from internet moderators and ending up in prison for lols. Fuck that. They were just reporting on how reddit inc is under pressure to share identifying information about posters to that forum to authorities. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/film-studios-demand-ip-addresses-of-people-who-discussed-piracy-on-reddit/
The BS in the last comment aside, what about the meme needs moderating? Was it a repost, or is the argument it makes unacceptable on reddit's piracy board?
Ew
Wao, most insightful post in a long time. Love it.
Wasn't reddit always like that? Or was this particular sub okay?
haha memes are so funny in glad they look at my time in the internet hahaha clever funny reddit
