Will Reddit get quality replacements? “Not a snowball’s chance in hell.”
This is like an incel posting on a dating site after calling all women whores.
That’s a pretty good analogy, only he would have to specify that he still considers all women to be whores in his bio to be completely accurate.
Honestly though, it’s desperate. I don’t even want to know what’s become of Accidental Renaissance ‘Under New Management’, I’m glad the original team are here though
The solution is super simple… PAY THEM. You want volunteers that act like employees in your billion dollar IPO? Pony up the cash or GTFO.
Are you telling me that moderating is a shitton of work, and that the only people crazy enough to put in that much effort are simultaneously gonna be pissed off about Reddit crippling their ability to do that work?
And that new fresh faced moderators are suddenly being faced with a pile of trash and told to have at it, totally unequipped for what faces them?
Shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
The final straw on my reddit use was getting banned for a week, from some innocuous semi sarcastic comment I made. Had to reread it like 12 times to make sure that is what I got banned for. The mods are clearly overwhelmed. I almost want to make some burner accounts and go report a bunch of people, say some nasty stuff just to ad to the shit show. It’s super obvious over there how much worse the mod situation is if you just read some comments.
Reddit is destroying itself slowly, painfully, and publicly. Anyone with a grudge against reddit should be delighted by how things are going.
[Reddit spokesman Tim] Rathschmidt added that Reddit’s Moderator Code of Conduct “isn’t just about what mods can and cannot do; it’s also about protecting our users’ right to assemble and discuss topics they’re passionate about.”
You do not have a right to assemble on a privately owned platform, regardless of what the mods do.
