“He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout.”
So far, I have seen no compelling reason to go back to reddit. I see that as more of a reddit problem than a me problem.
Well, the only reason being that the content is there and not here YET.
Good content is migratory.
The more u/Spez digs his heels in, the more I dig mine in defiance. Reddit is not a company that can survive without its content and moderation. Those 2 things come in 1 form, it’s users. WE are Reddit. WE have now come to the Fediverse in protest. Now we have 1 of 2 choices: Return to the Snoo, or build a new place.
Reddit might have IPO plans and a desire to bring in the $$$, but the only thing that mattered on Reddit are and were the PEOPLE! If they can’t wake up and see that, they’ve made the option easy for us
Reddit was a popular street corner where everyone went to set up their soap boxes. You could go there, listen, hang out, or stand on your own soap box. The idea that the owner of the street corner also owns the soap boxes, and that the people standing on them are employees of the street corner is absurd.
Huffman has made it abundantly clear that he intends to handle the reddit community like he’s the president of the world’s shittiest Home Owners Association. What aspect of that would make anyone want to stay?
Now that I’ve left, and have easily replaced it with lemmy, with no discernable loss in entertainment value, why would I go back into that dumpster?
My only compelling reason is to finish deleting all my comments, and to make sure they stay deleted. Got shreddit running off my GDPR files right now.
FYI though apparently they’re being slow giving out GDPR requests right now. Also, you should use shreddit from github, that way you don’t have to pay $15 to use the CSV files.
