This would make so much more sense tbh, federating communities would also help bring the people who don’t quite ‘get’ the fediverse yet into coming onboard instead of being lost.
What a goofy interpretation of that series of events. Reddit changes API which fucks over moderators -> mods protest and say if they can’t use these tools they can’t moderate -> when API restrictions come into effect, mods either leave over moderating being way harder now or basically not being able to mod
Why is that final step so hard for this person to believe? All of Reddit moderation wasn’t lying to people for fun
Also wasn’t the sub basically taken over by one mod who spends their time working their way into as many moderator positions as possible and then not doing anything with them? Looking at their post history they’ve made like a dozen posts in the last month and one of them was asking to mod another sub.

You are so naive to believe they even were aware of step 1 lol.
They just were mad at their favorite subreddits being closed against their will, that and just being inconsiderate pricks.
What amused me back then is that in most of the subreddits I was subbed there were polls where mods were gonna act as the results said, (we were basically running against the time, so there were not very many alternatives for this kind of democracy, I add this note because many people were very mad and argued they never got to nor realize there was an ongoing poll lol) and more users approved to keep the protests and regardless these cunts were saying that this was mod’s power abuse lol.
I have resting bitch face so I just constantly look stressed all day when in reality I’m just watching Youtube videos after my hour of work is finished.
Or as a recording of a rap song:
Now this is the story all about how,
my life got flipped-turned upside down,
and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there,
I’ll tell you how I became full of despair.
I like it here on Lemme. I feel pretty comfy. And most of you here are tech savvy. And if not, at least you have some level of basic true understanding of how technology works., Unlike those impostor syndrome redditors. And I suppose it’s a plus that corporations don’t hunt us down for discussing piracy.
The best way to fight it is to simply be unmarketable as a community. This is how Verizon ended up having to sell Tumblr for less than 1% of the price they paid for it like only 3 years later. If the cost outweighs the benefit, fewer people will bother trying.
Have it as a distributed network of smaller instances, rather then having everyone pile on to 2 or 3 big ones. It’s easier for admins to notice the bots if their site populations remain relatively small, and it’s easier to defederate from sites that are enabling the bots if they’re not also home to 80% of users.
The term, “enshitification” is getting bandied about a lot. But the bots and corporations are an inevitable part of capitalism. Make money at all costs, never be satisfied with what you have, and treat everybody that isn’t you like a stepping stone.
Scammers and sociopathic c-levels are missing something fundamentally human. A complete lack of empathy. But this has always been a part of our species. The difference now is that we have a system that dramatically rewards that sickness. And that’s not even getting into how being able to be evil at scale is going to make the next few decades interesting.
Oi @db0 ! Are you one of the Reddit Piracy mods? Or are one of your brethren here from Reddit?
I must say I find Piracy, Linux and the Star Trek communities have had a rip-roaringly successful switch over.
I much prefer Lemmy. I have the opportunity to call you a “dick head” whereas on Reddit there’s no way Spez would ever see me calling him a “dick head”.
That makes me feel powerful and I become engorged.
Oh I love Soviet and German tanks from WWII most of all so I’m a big fan of the IS-2 and T-34 for Soviets and the Panzer IV, Sturmgeschütz III and Tiger I for Germans.
I build 1:35 scale models and my last build was an Elefant.
Well that’s a fun hobby. I used to make model planes when I was a child. I recall making a P-38 and an A-10 before entering junior high but then never really getting into it again.
Well, I can’t fault you for that one. If you were going to hit me with a 1942-43 variant, I might have tried to persuade you to the 85. That’s a badass T-34. The rest of them are garbage imo
Reddit does not tolerate Russophilia of any sort. Like China mentioning the most benign cultural things about it gets brigaded.
They’re obsessed with shit like at the end of Band of Brothers when they respect the Nazi general bc he’s also part of the military & how Hitler could have won on half the history subs. AskHistorians is okay
