I’m immeasurably excited about this. This popcorn tastes amazing and will never run out. They were, indeed, one of the last fun communities. One of the first to go lights out during APIpocalypse, if I remember correctly. Those apes will always have a special place in my heart.
I had juust enough karma to “qualify” for this hot garbage, but have not been contacted. Guess my hands are clean! Time to invest in that time share instead …where the hell is my gift bottle of shampain?
By the hammer of Grabthar…wottadeal.
The green thing out of focus, at center, looks like it is growing on him.
“relentless” is a glowing compliment. Cheers to EFF in the New Year! Merry Christmas, you legends
Patience, you have it. Take my upvote
I hope The Snail finds you on your wedding day, with that attitude.
Bless you, a peek at the Realms of the Blessed! We don’t deserve this!
No, I was never a Reddit mod. My first modding experience is at sh.itjust.works. I was making a analogy, which I’ll admit was a bit strained, but I stand by it. The analogy was not intended to imply that Reddit mods were the equivalent of surgeons, it was intended to compare a set of specialists to another set of specialists and what happens when an organization forces generalists (above-mentioned theater kids) into the tasks of specialists. Things always enshittify. All of the mods I’ve interacted with in Lemmy instances and on Reddit have been specialists, in terms of professional, ethical management of content and an exceptional ability to manage “soft” power. I have no motive to flatter any mod anywhere, this is what I’ve observed. If you don’t agree with the observation, fair enough, but those types of mods are characteristic of the communities in which I choose to spend time. Your mileage may vary, but if you find mods to be otherwise, I would question your chosen community first, as the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. A wise man used to say to me, “If you look around and every room you’re in is full of assholes, it’s you. You’re the asshole.”
It’s almost like moderators were highly skilled workers in a very, very small niche. It’s as if a company that sold highly specialized training for prenatal brain surgeons, started a campaign to discredit every single prenatal brain surgeon in the world and force them all to lose their jobs, then attempted to fill in every one of those jobs with middle school theater kids.
Yarrr. Even pirates have principles.
There’s money to be made on Reddit?!
