Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”
-
at least you wernt like that anti-work mod that went ON FOX, that actually drew negative attention to the site.
I have way too much self-respect to ever show my face on FOX

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.
you can sell an reddit account?

Fuck Reddit. It needs to die, along with discord.

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.

Caught a permaban for calling someone a coward. No big loss, honestly. Reddit wasn't doing anything for me except raising my blood pressure.
It made me doom scroll for hours. My life has been notably less stressful since i left reddit. What a shithole that place is.

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?
-
To be fair, are there any social media platforms that don't have a kind of stupid name?
Most of the big ones at least have some kind of coherence behind their naming scheme.
The open source stuff is like: prehistoric hairy elephant, misspelled name of animal used as a metaphorical comparison for people doing dumb shit in a mob which seems to be insulting it's users, and then some random words slapped onto the word fed - none of which sound good.

Reddit died for me the moment RIF went down.
I still use RIF with a Revanced patch- the few weeks before I figured out how to do that I was zero time on reddit. That's probably healthier for me.
I'm trying to shift over to Lemmy more and more it's just difficult with some smaller/niche communities. But it's worth the effort given how much spez is on his knees.

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.

I thought Diaspora was a decent sounding name. If it had more traction and actually pulled a sizeable diaspora away from Facebook it would have fit better than Facebook, Twitter/X, or Instagram's names.

Yeah, I didn't realize how much trouble it was causing me until I was gone.

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

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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

Reddit has been dead since February, when Spez met with The Goblin, and then permabanned thousands, maybe millions of highly active accounts, including me. I was permabanned for repeating a post I had made many times with no issues. After 12 years, and almost a million Karma, I was suddenly too dangerous to allow on the platform, along with thousands of others.
We high volume posters built Reddit, but we shifted from being assets to problems after Trump was elected again.
I was permabanned for saying fascists need to get curb stomped like one forefathers did.
I like how Reddit hosts the most hateful, vile, racist subreddits and bans people like me for not condoning it. That doublespeak is chefs kiss
-
Mods get to control the political narrative of their subreddits by banning those with opposing views. That makes them more powerful than admins. As an example, Reddit has been so flooded with pro-trans mods that it's almost impossible to make an anti-trans agenda post in most subreddits without being banned.
You may or may not be right, but that example is apocalyptically bad (and probably betrays that you're not worth talking to, if it reflects your "opinion"), because, ya know, most people with even a slither of empathy within them realize that "making an anti-trans agenda post" is just being a despicable piece of shit.
Which would make the mods banning that behavior kinda based. -

'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.

Woah... what's this? I had no idea reddit accounts hold value!
