This is hilarious tbh. Please don’t get me wrong, I really feel for the mods who put so much time and energy into the sub (all subs for that matter). It sucks.
But god, watching reddit implode feels so fucking good. Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron, and it’s nice to see his web site fall from grace so publicly.
I can’t wait to see their IPO fail dismally, at least I hope so.
Incoming revolving door of Mods who get burnt.
The line of people who want the authority but whom cannot handle the responsibility extends around the block.
Mod turnover will go through the roof. Make no mistake, this is not an untried strategy from Reddit. You get rid off those who can do the job well but are not on-board, you replace them with sycophants who cannot do the job but will tow the line. When shit goes south you hang them out to dry and get in the new batch. Very well known corporate strategy.
I have zero modding experience, but I know that doing the job well would be harder (and more time consuming) than it looks.
I’m guessing that most new mods that reddit will end up with just want the “power” but will fall on their faces when it comes to performance. I’m grateful to the good mods on every site/sub/instance who do it for free. Thanks, everyone!
I’ve modded a fair few subs. It’s difficult, boring and thankless work for no reward beyond the satisfaction of smoothly running a community you’re passionate about…or power tripping, for those who’re into that.
Most people who end up becoming mods will burn out pretty fucking quick. Not to mention, there’ll be cases where a sub requires a certain subject matter expert for mod work and…well, those ain’t easy to find.
If you elect me as head mod I promise to only ban people who I don’t like (I hate everyone)
I’m afraid to say I’m a mod on FB lol, but it’s a UK US based weather group that I’m very passionate about with 92k members.
Basically as a mod, never argue with a member, never show a member up to the rest of the group, there are better ways to deal with things other than flat out banning someone. Being a mod should be keeping things under control so the group remains a good place to go. That’s all.
Our main problem is the fake accounts from the Military pilots wanting to speak to the lovely ladies or make you a killing with bitcoin lol.
aa
Just let it burn down at this point. Shorting this stock is going to be easy easy money
Remember kids, “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”.
This is why their moderators’ best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it’ll go to hell fast. It’s their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren’t.
That dude is pathetic.
It’s like when they replace a character with a worse version in a show.
Oof. I read a decent amount of comments, definitely getting shill/snitch/power seeking vibes, add to that the admins…what a shit show
