    I’m glad to be totally off of Reddit now but I have to say, props to the mods doing this kind of stuff. It’s pretty hilarious

      They’re getting no end of grief from bad/paid actors though.

    Good that the protest keeps going. Lemmy AND Squabbles are not a fraction of what Reddit was for all my interests and hobbies. Let’s hope more and more people keep learning about the alternatives.

    I wish more of the larger subs were still protesting and didn’t roll over so easily. But regardless the site has taken a massive hit to its reputation and one can only hope that recovery won’t be possible moving forward and it screws them out of their chance to go public.

    So long as it hurts Reddit, all the better.

    This whole API issue is a lost cause, so the only thing that can be done now is to make Reddit lose big.

    It’s so weird to see all the people still fighting on Reddit when I’ve already moved on

    For for how much heavy handed their initial reaction was, I’m surprised that Reddit doesn’t take more aggressive actions. Spez has the loudest voice on highest pole, yet so far he only managed to anger everyone.

    Fuck Spez.

      I’m not sure they can. What can they do? I doubt they’ll replace moderators with paid Reddit workers. The alternative is to replace them with other power hungry moderators who will bend a knee to the Reddit admins. That might work on some major subreddits but the PR of that might cause more damage.

      I think the admins hoped it would have blown over by now. If it’s still going on by September I bet they’ll need to do something.

        And the problem is that people who are power hungry and only doing it to scratch that itch can’t be trusted to maintain a valuable community. That’s not the type of people they are.

        And people who create the content are moving to other platforms. I’ve deleted all of my reddit links and apps to reduce the likeyhood I’ll stumble across a reddit post. Also starting to take some of my better reddit posts and edit them to remove any valuable content, and post on Lemmy instead.

        And he was a mod for a very disgusting sub back when it was active.

          Although I dislike him as much as anyone, I read that in the early days you could add users as mods without the need for users to accept.

      Moderators are either absent or they post generic botty-sounding messages like, “Please be civil” while not actually moderating anything.

      So they’re refusing to work for Reddit for free. Good for them!
