Will Reddit get quality replacements? "Not a snowball's chance in hell."

    To be honest, I think that deposed Reddit mods should band together and start their own Lemmy instances.

    The moment Sync and Boost come out and offer a decent experience, Reddit is finished.

    I’m personally happy to discover that awkwardtheturtle is suspended from r/rant.

    I always keep feeling like that bitch is responsible for some of the shit there. Plus, they manage way too many subreddits. As do some other mods still clinging on there.

      The fact that there never was a limit of sub counts is part of why the turnover we expected never came. At some point, you have to be a deeply unwell narcissist to willingly mod hundreds of subs. I’m reminded of Laurelai.

    The fact that this is done under the name of an admin going by “ModCodeOfConduct” is added salt in the wound.

    Implying that it’s the code of conduct to blindly obey all bullshit from the admins, never protest any changes that they made, and the like… Fucking ridiculous

    Interesting feedback from the mods interviewed

    Child porn, dying animals, dying children, brutal 3rd world scenes of horror, and quite a lot of literal poop. So if anyone was bothered by graphic images, they should stay well away...

    And because your Reddit account can be permabanned at any time by Reddit’s Anti-Evil Operations bot with a modest amount of reporting from a number of sockpuppet accounts, you’re not able to tell these people to fuck off and go to hell when they inevitably ask why you’re discriminating against them and their sickening photos.

    You have to maintain a veneer of pleasantness for even the most vile photos and the most abusive Redditors because those are the people that can and will get you banned in retaliation.

    Yes, good luck with that, Spez.

      This is just the latest nail in the coffin of Reddit, in a long series. You don’t see those who stopped moderating and engaging before ultimatively leaving the decaying platform over the years.
