Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”
-
I joined after getting some weird warning about upvoting comments reddit didn't like. That left a sour taste in my mouth.
Also, it's creepy that they check upvotes.
-
Nice. I got banned from AmITheAsshole for telling a poster to break his friends kneecaps over $20.
Deserved everyone knows you break toes for 20 bucks knee cap for 40 and elbows at 60!

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.
except it ultimately falls to the admins which institute all these changes, and filters to the site. mods are just patsies, yea there are problematic mods, and this at the behest of spez too.

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.

'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.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
many of us were forced out because reddit decided they were going to start purging accounts months on end.
-
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.

Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy
Yep, I'm a redfugee myself

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.

I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.

Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.

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.
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.

I think the concept of moderation by an individual needs more scrutiny. Why not build a software algorithm to allow for subscribers to vote on moderation actions?
In other words, instead of vertical top heavy moderation, privide a more level, more horizontal process, where our peers play a significant role, or even act as co-moderators.
We are recreating in software all the top down vertical hierarchies we tend to be sceptical of in the real world. Why?
Imagine if there were no jury trial? How much worse would things be?
So why do we build an online world with a lower standard than we use to build the physical world. That's just sloppy.
I'd think then you'd hit the issue of a total echo chamber where anything even slightly challenging the mob gets deleted.

So glad to see some mods gone. They are power hungry petty people.

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.
Cmon. I deeply respect /r Eevee mods. What do they do, other than serve Eevee fans and have fun?
