Will Reddit get quality replacements? “Not a snowball’s chance in hell.”
This is like an incel posting on a dating site after calling all women whores.
That’s a pretty good analogy, only he would have to specify that he still considers all women to be whores in his bio to be completely accurate.
Honestly though, it’s desperate. I don’t even want to know what’s become of Accidental Renaissance ‘Under New Management’, I’m glad the original team are here though
So actions have consequences?
Also from the article
And because your Reddit account can be permabanned at any time by Reddit’s Anti-Evil Operations bot with a modest amount of reporting from a number of sockpuppet accounts, you’re not able to tell these people to fuck off and go to hell when they inevitably ask why you’re discriminating against them and their sickening photos.
I did not know that. That’s a horrible system.
I’m also a big fan of the complete tone deafness of Tim Rathschmidt wanting to help mods mod. After they nuked all the apps with the mod tools.
I did not know that. That’s a horrible system.
Mods have complained about this for quite some time, and of course Reddit didn’t care. Of course.
The replies to their other posts asking for mods are pretty hilarious.
I am glad to see someone knowledgeable is likely to take over /r/canning. People can get sick or die if things are preserved incorrectly.
But didn’t you know unpaid labor, they’re suckers, “jannies” (as if doing a necessary service nobody else wants to do is insult-worthy instead of commendable), free labor they are so pathetic!11 I’m certainly not going to subject myself to being the first line of defense against trolls spamming NSFL of, so I’m grateful people are willing to do that to make a nice space for people like me. Not disdainful.
Nevermind some communities are like /r/canning where you probably want to avoid legitimately harmful disinformation. It’s definitely a person on a power trip who won’t abandon being a dirty jannie for a taste of power. Fucking bootlicker, living with the reality that people will continue to go to Reddit for information and continuing to remove disinformation instead of letting all the people who still oh my god, use Reddit get misinformed and die from bad preservation techniques. Why not just write a post about leaving and leave Reddit, then? Because a pinned post about where they left for is almost certainly going to be unpinned and deleted by a new moderator that Reddit installs. Also, if it’s unpinned but not deleted, not everyone is going to scroll back far enough to read “hey, we all left Reddit”. Yes, I know, double check your sources when your life could be at risk. Would still rather not be a bad source.
I just wish people could stop with the namecalling. Yes, powertripping mods exist. Not everyone who stayed on Reddit is an awful person.
on r/longhair:
(warning for Reddit link, the front end I used to use to deny them hits no longer works)
Stuff like this is why some mods stayed in instead of going private. r/longhair stayed private instead of giving in and got their entire mod team removed. I respect their dedication but I think you can see why some people would want to stay on instead of getting removed: knowing they can avoid letting bad actors in as a consequence of getting replaced by someone who doesn’t care and will do nothing about users getting harassing PMs or comments, or actively wants to, say, turn r/longhair into a fetish community or some sub for a marginalized community into a place for porn of them.
