anteaters, to RedditMigration in The Reddit moderators who coordinate many celebrity AMAs will no longer do so

Good to see that there are some mods who are not completely addicted to that little bit of power spez allowed them.

The one thing the Reddit exodus has taught me, is that I’m almost eager for a reason to ditch my social media and either find something new or simply take back that time and do something more fulfilling anyway.

I’m so much happier not being constantly blasted with advertisements, that now when I have to go back on insta or FB for whatever reason, I can’t stand more than 30 seconds before I nope back off.

Looking forward to axing YouTube from my life next.

What absolute wankers! In case anyone’s adblock goes south, here are some YouTube alternatives:

For Watching YouTube

For Uploading

  • PeerTube
  • Idk, make a video blog or something.
LoafyLemon, to RedditMigration in Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them...

They are experimenting with GPT4 models to moderate the subs.

The mods that didn't stand along with the protesters will soon find out how expendable they are to a corporation. The one thing corpos like spezitt hate the most is free and independent people they cannot control.

I’m not going to set a precedent of confirming with The Verge every action we do or don’t take

If you feel compelled to regard everybody as either your unpaid servant or as a hostile entity - except for taking deliberate time to pointedly kiss the Twitter imbecile's ass - maybe, just maybe it's you yourself, with a profound lack of self-awareness, that might be the very root of the problem you're flailing to deal with.

ptsdstillinmymind,

Most of these CEOs and C Suite executives are freaking sociopaths. This is the reason they don't know human emotions. They see other humans as their slaves, plain and simple. Tech bros are the worst.

Sounds like the admins hate each other too and that there’s some stressful talk between them.

Sounds like chaos among the admins.

SCmSTR,

GOOD.

Maybe there's at least one person fighting for good in there.

Or, the random person saying the mods got reinstated is a plant and just wants people to have faith and come back.

This is a fact that's easy to verify independently. Why sow conspiracy? The admins are guilty of a lot, but this isn't one of them. Yet. Let's stick to true information so we can't be painted as rabid anti-reddit conspiracists?

SCmSTR,

Why sow conspiracy?

Is my suggestion departed enough from expectation from exhibited behavior patterns from Reddit's CEO and admins that it needs to be cautioned as intentionality sowing conspiracy?

Is it really outside the bounds of what's possible?

If you criticize it so, and think it easy to verify, then why not provide that verification?

Why pretend this is an extreme idea when we see sock puppeting often enough to have a term for it?

Sounds likely, no mods appear in the subreddit's mod list at the moment.

ArugulaZ, to RedditMigration in Reddit CEO Steve Huffman isn’t backing down: our full interview
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

This guy can lick my hole. Look, I left Twitter after fourteen years of dedicated use, because of that clogstomping moron, Elon Musk. If Lead Paint Huffer-Man wants to be a greedy dick, I can leave Reddit, too. I was there for four years, but I'm more than willing to find a new place to hang out. Don't test me, man! I shot my Neopet just to watch it die!

Deleted my account with the message "Your contempt for your users disgusts me". Oh well, account since 2012 permanently gone. Long live the Fediverse!

Let it go, overwrite your content and leave reddit.

PabloDiscobar, to RedditMigration in Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely
@PabloDiscobar@kbin.social avatar

The reddit admins have an excuse for booting out the last mods, for stability reasons, since the blackout caused a downtime.

The last redditors will be modded by robots and what they say will be analysed by other robots for money. How fun.

I remember Digg saying the same thing.

This just in from forbes.com:

"Investors are fed up. Fidelity, which led Reddit’s $700 million funding round in 2021 with a $10 billion valuation, has cut its Reddit company valuation by 41% since it invested. This could scupper Reddit’s plans to eventually go public with a reported valuation of $15 billion."
