It’s getting old. I did the thing, I deleted my Reddit account and moved to Lemmy. So I kinda just want to remove Reddit from my mind for a while, I don’t see the need to let it live rent-free in my head.

I have fond memories of Slashdot’s mod system . Members randomly got 5 mod points to up or down vote sometime . Votes were categorized .And that was it . Then metamods would vote on the quality of the votes. I wrote in the past tense but I guess /dot is still around .
Slashdot was also incredibly strictly curated. The concept of subreddits back when it was THE website for nerds was completely alien.
Now it just doesn’t hold a candle to most social media in terms of the variety of content. When things are that much under the thumb of the website admins, almost any moderation system should be able to handle the commentary.

How many searches turn up Reddit results first. I have to live next to people who could poison or electrocute themselves because they paid attention to a Reddit post.
It’s everyone’s problem. We just can’t do anything about it anymore.

I don’t generally go with the “Oh no, anyways…” comment, but that’s truly how I feel about the whole Reddit drama at this point.
They made their bed, and now they have to lie in it. I have zero confidence they’ll change, and even on the remote chance they wanted to, its pretty much too late for that.

It’s pretty sad, though.
Reddit was a pretty good platform. Almost endless content, not only mainstream stuff, but also tiny niches.
I mean, which platform combines Obama AMAs, prolapse porn, hydroponics support and memes about Slovenia?
Soon, hopefully, Lemmy. I see it improve every day.

I am not a fan of that, but as long as it isn’t illegal, and people want it… Sure I guess.

I don’t.
There was a pretty big spike in activity after/during the blackout, but it settled down quite a lot. Especially if I look into my Everything feed, there’s just tons of low effort content and repetition.
There are at least three communities that are solely Hackernews reposts, completely automated, hardly any interaction, but somehow still “hot”.
Maybe it’s just a phase, but I’m slightly skeptical right now.

Interesting voices that are active did break off of Reddit and make their way to Lemmy. Spez did the communities here a favor by reminding people that their engaging content, moderated by volunteers, was the product he was holding hostage.

I sort by hot and there’s no comment activity. I sort by active and it’s the same posts for the entire day. Maybe you see improvement, but I see mostly a bunch of people yelling into the wind and a few groups huddled in the few interesting topics like this one, which is ironically bitching about reddit.
They made their bed, and now they have to lie in it.
Only the bed they made is fairly cushy.
While the quality of content may have decreased, that’s not how they make money. Like many modern tech companies, they make money from collecting data and serving ads, which they’re presumably doing in droves since forcing their users into their first-party app.

Like Lemmy, except with ads, and only one instance, so you can’t defederate if the owners are being asshats.

No offense but I never once went to a subreddit and thought that the mod might be qualified, except r/science.
So if I accidentally stumbled on canning, I wouldn’t have assumed that anything there was safe to do without reading the comments first to make sure the op wasn’t a c bomb.

There are now a bunch of advice subs now giving out incorrect misinformed opinions as factual advice… And there is now no one to hold them responsible or delete the misinformation . So people are getting advice that can harm them

Yeah we get it Verge.com you’re loving the reddit clicks
It’s not even their research/article. They have summarized the great article Scharon put together here: arstechnica.com/…/are-reddits-replacement-mods-fi…
She’s been working on that for weeks now, talking to previous and current mods.
Interesting, because it mostly reads as a feature-length version of what is already posted on /r/ModCoord

Reddit sucks.
Delete your comments, then delete your account.
