So glad to see some mods gone. They are power hungry petty people.
Can’t kill a reanimated corpse, reddit is already dead.
Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.
seems like they are testing how to consilidate control of the subs, into 1 or a few person, or under AI. of course they probably wont affect the propaganda mods, like r/conservatives.
Lol fuck reddit cuck mods anyways.
Working for free for a major company should be considered a mental illness. If your going to volunteer your time do it to an actual good cause.
Not fucking reddit.
Being a bass aggregator myself, its less likely they’ll bite the hand that feeds them first,The exposure for my friend’s accounts have been phenomenal though.
average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.
No, it equals 60 people.
lol of course power mods would say that.
Fuck that dumbass site.
Every few months I check back and see if there’s any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated
I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.
Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.
Fake importance.
'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I’m glad that most redditors didn’t move to lemmy.
Some did leave, just not nearly as many compared to the numbers that claimed they would.
Thats when I left and made a Lemmy account instead.
That’s when I left. Haven’t turned back
Same
I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.
remember since this election, they have purging like crazy, up until may. people are still addicted to reddit, but lemmy also gained like 10k+? people from tha tpurge.
Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy
Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.
Yep, I’m a redfugee myself
I still have a Reddit account that I use to follow NBA news and discussions, but I found myself going there less and less over time because most of the content is just so damn repetitive. The bots are really going into overdrive as of late, and it’s making most of the big subs unusable. A lot of the small subs aren’t any better because they’re either controlled by some terminally online powermods or they’re some extremely unhinged echo chamber. That being said, Lemmy isn’t any better, but at least it’s more private and less corporate.
Some subreddits have become completely impossible to post to. Your posts get deleted right away.
Plus, the option to default to Old Reddit doesn’t work anymore. So fuck them.
I started going there way less after the API restrictions because my favourite client stopped working. Then, I got banned and found out there was a better alternative — Lemmy.
I jumped ship to Lemmy once they instituted the ‘upvotes can get you banned’ policy.
I mean, I sure did
Fuck Reddit. It needs to die, along with discord.
I got banned for updooting Luigi stuff.
And I’ll fucking do it again!
I got banned for implying someone should give him a call. Reddit can lick my taint, it’s not even worth making another account, I can talk to AI bots anywhere these days!
I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they’re tracking upvotes to a post… they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment… but in both cases, they wouldn’t tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.
oh you have no idea, the AI moderation they are using was going to ban you after that warning anyways. the moment your account is flagged with warnings or temp bans, it makes you susceptible to a shadowban down the line.
This is the way.
I have very little sympathy for reddit mods. Too many of them are petty little tyrants with no checks on them. I hope the door hits them on the ass.
Tbf that’s often the issue with mods. I’m a mod and I’m power hungry and reign with terror.
Most of the good ones have left since they locked off the API and make most of the tools stopped working anyways. They were already kicked off when they did the strike back then so the remaining mods are pretty much the power mods that taken over after said strike.
Caught a permaban for calling someone a coward. No big loss, honestly. Reddit wasn’t doing anything for me except raising my blood pressure.
people caught shadowbans seemingly as a new or old inactive account. apparently reddits filters is now sensitive, that new accounts look like bots, if they suddenly have alot of activity.
God forbid anyone make an account and decide to use it.
It made me doom scroll for hours. My life has been notably less stressful since i left reddit. What a shithole that place is.
Yeah, I didn’t realize how much trouble it was causing me until I was gone.
I got my 15 year old account permanently banned for filing one report against a user who was stalking my profile to call me slurs. (This was “abusing the report button”, apparently.) Everyone in my household got their accounts banned alongside mine. It’s very strange how the site is being run now.
Yes because they IP ban people
Reddit has a whole metagame on trolling users in these ways. I don’t think corporate cares at all. If anything spez probably welomes it.
Obligatory fuck Spez.
“Let’s get rid of our longest running users, that should help the site move forward.”
In a fucked up way, yes. As in I think it’s intentional/logical on their part. The culture of reddit has been changing for a while. I think they would want the “old heads” to leave, but also leave behind their posts/comments for others (and Reddit) to benefit off of.
That’s why people use those web apps that overwrite their comments with garbage. But I always think about how Reddit controls the servers, data, and backups.
Could you point me to one that overwrites my old posts?
Eh it doesnt really matter, I’m sure they kept running archives even before selling off to altman, and invariably impacts more actual people trying to maybe find that one useful comment to fix something.
that’s the point, when people got a dead end when looking for answers on reddit for the nth time, they will stop clicking those results
Also though running an ad blocker makes them have to serve the web request and not get ad revenue 🤷♂️
Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.
There’s a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn’t even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.
And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren’t very sophisticated though, so it’s pretty easy to avoid them.
Shit site.
The problem with that is that it’s so locked down now you need an account of X age with Y karma, so the majority of the site isn’t something you can participate in. And I get it, lots of spam accounts and whatnot, but still shitty that they’re a hair trigger away from destroying years worth of built up karma over nothing.
Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.
So how does a person sell their account !?
Yeah, I’m also interested. Why not? Better to sell it now that has value than just getting banned.
Woah… what’s this? I had no idea reddit accounts hold value!
How much karma was that? I lost 3 accounts and one had over 100k comment karma, so they lost another good user here as well.
I loved to post solutions to problems that never got solved on several subreddits, oh well.
you can sell an reddit account?
couple forums and older ones have decent value, you can even sell suble ad like posts, didn’t see that til after my permaban, people will pay you money to post on your account with karma/age about their stuff lol, makes me really dislike that system more, like most new ppl cant even get help because they can’t comment/post in most subs.
Yeah they can be worth quite a lot too
