Was thinking perhaps subreddits could just stop moderating and auto approve everything en masse… that would create a spam hell more beautiful than anything we would have seen before…
Unmarked NSFW stuff highly upvoted on the front page, crypto bullshit in every sub, every subreddit doing a “If this gets 2 times X votes, I post again” making the frontpage useless. It would be total anarchy and cause Reddit to implode on itself before you can say “What Snoo”.
I doubt this will happen in reality because people actually care about preserving their subreddits. Anyway enough pipedreaming.
If what they’re saying is true, that might happen anyway. A lot of moderation is done using third party bots that use the API. Without those, it all has to be done manually and no one has time for that. Even then a lot of the manual moderation is done using third party tools (again, impacted by the API change).
Reddit’s about to pull an implosion that’ll make Twitter and Digg look like blips. I got the heck out of there and now I’m just sitting back with my popcorn and tea watching it all burn down.

Interesting. This video is broken when I’m on lemmy.ml but works fine from beehaw.org
Broken in Jerboa as well.
Does mentioning users to notify them work? Let’s try:
@dessalines@lemmy.ml FYI
@dessalines
Edit: doesn’t look like it. Hmm.
Edit 2: full URL? https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines
Autocomplete (eventually) gave me
[@dessalines@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines)(@dessalines@lemmy.ml)I got mentioned, but jerboa doesn’t have an autofiller for
@users or!communities like lemmy-ui does… yet.downloading it through wget using the link that my browser is trying to play also works. beehaw.org is also taking forever to load
Can comfirm broken on Jerboa, but fine on beehaw from the browser.
Broken on lemmy.one as well
