So glad to see some mods gone. They are power hungry petty people.
Lol fuck reddit cuck mods anyways.
Working for free for a major company should be considered a mental illness. If your going to volunteer your time do it to an actual good cause.
Not fucking reddit.
Cmon. I deeply respect /r Eevee mods. What do they do, other than serve Eevee fans and have fun?
Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.
average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.
No, it equals 60 people.
lol of course power mods would say that.
Fuck that dumbass site.
Every few months I check back and see if there's any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated
I got banned for updooting Luigi stuff.
And I'll fucking do it again!
I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they're tracking upvotes to a post.. they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment.. but in both cases, they wouldn't tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.
oh you have no idea, the AI moderation they are using was going to ban you after that warning anyways. the moment your account is flagged with warnings or temp bans, it makes you susceptible to a shadowban down the line.

I got my 15 year old account permanently banned for filing one report against a user who was stalking my profile to call me slurs. (This was “abusing the report button”, apparently.) Everyone in my household got their accounts banned alongside mine. It’s very strange how the site is being run now.
Yes because they IP ban people
Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.
There's a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn't even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.
And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren't very sophisticated though, so it's pretty easy to avoid them.
Shit site.

Reddit has a whole metagame on trolling users in these ways. I don't think corporate cares at all. If anything spez probably welomes it.
Obligatory fuck Spez.
"Let's get rid of our longest running users, that should help the site move forward."
In a fucked up way, yes. As in I think it's intentional/logical on their part. The culture of reddit has been changing for a while. I think they would want the "old heads" to leave, but also leave behind their posts/comments for others (and Reddit) to benefit off of.
That's why people use those web apps that overwrite their comments with garbage. But I always think about how Reddit controls the servers, data, and backups.

I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.
Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.
Fake importance.
'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I'm glad that most redditors didn't move to lemmy.
That's when I left. Haven't turned back
Same
Some did leave, just not nearly as many compared to the numbers that claimed they would.
Thats when I left and made a Lemmy account instead.
Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy
Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.
Yep, I'm a redfugee myself
I mean, I sure did
I mean, I did. This is my 3rd account, after beehaw and then blahaj.
remember since this election, they have purging like crazy, up until may. people are still addicted to reddit, but lemmy also gained like 10k+? people from tha tpurge.

Fuck Reddit. It needs to die, along with discord.
seems like they are testing how to consilidate control of the subs, into 1 or a few person, or under AI. of course they probably wont affect the propaganda mods, like r/conservatives.
I got a lifetime ban after 12 years on Reddit. I still have no clue why, and I really, really don't care.

Reddit has been dead since February, when Spez met with The Goblin, and then permabanned thousands, maybe millions of highly active accounts, including me. I was permabanned for repeating a post I had made many times with no issues. After 12 years, and almost a million Karma, I was suddenly too dangerous to allow on the platform, along with thousands of others.
We high volume posters built Reddit, but we shifted from being assets to problems after Trump was elected again.

Being a bass aggregator myself, its less likely they'll bite the hand that feeds them first,The exposure for my friend's accounts have been phenomenal though.
Still waiting for the Reddit purge of Wincest, Rape, and Zoo subs. There's a whole little toxic corner they allow to continue. I used to think they were honey pots. Now I'm not so sure.
