I moderated a few reddits for a couple of months and promptly left that absolute joke of a system to people vastly more masochistic than I. I cannot fathom doing the equivalent of full time work for free on a site that actively berates any moderator who attempts to stand up for themselves or their tools used to moderate.

That's quite rich, after the way they treated their mods.
Really a sign of them not giving a shit about anyone.

I just don't care about Reddit anymore. Or Twitter, for that matter.

Reddit apparently still hasn’t figured out the maxim “Don’t piss off the free help.” TANSTAFL.
It's precisely what everyone said would happen. Spez and the Reddit team seem not to realise how important mods and users were to their business! The number of people who will do the thankless task of dealing with the internet's undercurrent of horrendous behaviour are few.

Hello, Thank for sharing! Seems like it already got posted to !reddit@lemmy.world, maybe we can keep the Reddit discussions over there? There isn't that much technology discussed on Reddit nowadays, it's mostly a sinking ship by now.

well at least they got rid of some of the hungry powermods, i couldnt care less about reddit moderators though
Hah! I can't wait for the next devaluation to drop.
The incompetence of Reddit staff in recent years has especially impressed me.

Any luck getting the ask historian mods to switch over to lemmy. That I think would tip the scale permanently

Reddit Mods were never good. They were some of the worst people on Reddit. The admins are the only people worse than the mods.
