Reddit - Dive into anything

Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    I love that everyone is mad in the thread

    I’m also confused why they’re still on Reddit and not over here. Join us, content creators and talented people.

      They’d rather gargle reddit balls and complain about the taste than to lose their mod status. Nothing else to it. Let them gargle, they have the platform they deserve.

        That’s a rather rude thing to say about people whilst they make an effort to help their communities.

          Cool, they can use their subreddits to reroute their communities to better platforms then.

          Yeah it was just a matter of time. Some of Reddit’s problems weren’t due to the corporation but due to human nature and the kind of people that seek out power.

          If we could figure out a way to reward good mods without encouraging overmoderation, I think that would make a huge difference. Also kinda hilarious if it’s financial, if Lemmy starts paying some of its mods while Reddit continues to exploit them for free, but it would require a revenue source.

      I keep my account so when I see things like this I can go shit on them from a great height.

      Because they can’t bring themselves to give up their mod status and “power” on there.

      As much as it would be amazing to move everyone over, reddit communities represent years of cultivation and community organizing. Trying to rebuild that again isn’t an easy task, and it shouldn’t have to be done at all. This site should belong to the people who put in all the unpaid volunteer hours, not money-grubbing shareholders and CEOs. I can see why some people are so reluctant to abandon the community efforts they have worked diligently on for years. That being said I hope they all decide to ditch reddit and come over here as well.

      The sad truth is that Lemmy is still a very buggy pile of alpha software that barely works.

            I disagree. I had to reload the page to post the previous comment. Because text box was not opening when pressing reply. And that happens regularly. And there are like shit loads of other bugs. And don’t get me started on Jerboa… You see, I have 20 years of software development experience. Lemmy as is today is great, but it’s a very very early alpha. Buggy as hell and completely unusable by anyone except for enthusiasts. It doesn’t even be publicly accessible in my opinion.

            I don’t care about bugs much myself, I have my workarounds. But your average Joe will be shocked by the state of Lemmy. And that will hurt Lemmy in the long run. The dev team should focus real hard on improving end user experience and fixing bugs. Nothing else matters at the moment.
