    putting limits on the number of subs a user can moderate is like putting limits on the number of articles a wikipedia editor can edit.

    typically moderation is an opt in job and you want people who actually want to do it to keep things going smoothly. all this will do is make the pool even smaller which will lead to subs becoming more toxic.

    Allowing opt-in moderation attracts mods with an agenda. That's a big problem with Reddit.

      Still waiting for the Reddit purge of Wincest, Rape, and Zoo subs. There's a whole little toxic corner they allow to continue. I used to think they were honey pots. Now I'm not so sure.

        It's extremely difficult to double your investment with BTC if you start at this point. There are far better stock market investments out there now.

          Hey, they chose to offer free labor for a company that has proven time and time again to not give a crap about the mods or the users. I get why they are complaining but I at least hope that they aren’t surprised or expect that their complaints will do anything.

          Mods get to control the political climate of their subreddit. Those with a political agenda would pay for that privilege.

              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.

              "subreddits will stop displaying subscriber counts and instead show their “unique number of unique visitors over the last seven days, based on a rolling 28-day average,” Reddit’s rep said. Notably, old.reddit.com will not get these new stats but will still lose subscriber counts"

              They are hiding,for stock purposes, their declining numbers from everyone they have banned. 12 year user I never said anything outlandish just dark humor that I always have. Stuff that would have been easily ok 10 years ago. Nope no more

                    I'm surprised that Reddit has any active users, personally. It's just so... Fake now.

                    And so many more right wingers. Even 10 years ago those people would have been downvoted to oblivion now they make top comments.

                    Reddit for me was an escape from my red state and actually talk about policies I'd like to see along with just other general interest. And if I want to shit on someone for their take or just to blow off Steam. That was the place to do it. It hasn't been that for about 2 years now. I've been off reddit completely for the last 6 months.

                    I won't even click a Google link to it in search results.

                    I really would like lemmy to become more popular because it's user base is so small

                      You could always just help improve society for money, instead of trying to scrape out free money like some selfish bastard?

                        Yes, I expressed outrage at a disgusting state sanctioned murder in Iraq and suggested the invaders perpetrating these horror deserve to see the same kind of violence in their own cities.
                        Permaban of the entire website forever. I could easily evade the ban but, this was also when the API trouble and the "reddit is fun" app stopped working.
                        The writing was on the wall, duck that place and everyone in it. I won't be taken hostage anymore.

                        I never looked back and I'm glad I did, I was wasting so much of my precious time in that ducking disgusting dump. I hope Lemmy doesn't Septemberify for a long time. I really hope steps are taken to prevent centralization and owner dominance of Lemmy before it becomes reddit with extra steps

                        Id go back just to try and get banned again. I've tried everything I can think of. Always get shadow banned right away.

                            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.

                                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.

                                  Because we live in a world where it's easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for 'the bad words'. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)

                                    Bitcoin: simultaneously too low of a return to be worth investing vs stocks, while being too high of a free return for doing nothing.

                                      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.

                                        Reddit: "Why not incest?"
                                        Reditors: "Wincest!!"
