it’s surprising how many people will do things for free if you delude them into thinking they have power.
sad seeing how many of them folded straight away
I guess laziness and habit will lead to passiveness and desire to stick with the safety of “proven solutions”. The decisions of the mods would not matter if the normal users started leaving en mass. Sadly this would not happen, or maybe it’s a blessing in disguise, lemmy and kbin are much more reminiscent of the old Internet for me, which is something that I have missed.
The important thing is that we are here, I really hope everyone of us will do their best to make of the fediverse something better, compated to the platforms of the big, greedy corporations.
Those fuckers are undeleting my comments.
Why not delete your account? Heck link it to your email, use a VPN to show as being in Europe and tell them to delete all info related to your account.
GDPR FTW. It’s a real and powerful tool to protect people from companies. Use it.
I mod a smaller sub and haven’t received this, seems like they’re negotiating with the biggest subs/mods only. I haven’t gotten a single communication from Reddit about this outside of what’s publicly posted or in the news.
I don’t like many things about reddit.
Having said that - this article is bullshit. Let me draw you a picture. You run a company that has a product. You give the users of your product a lot of freedom. That is naive, wishful thinking, goodwill, whatever. Your users start having an issue with the direction of the company. Your users start sabotaging your company. You find yourself between a rock and a hard place.
No matter what you do or do not do - bullshit articles like this will pop up.
Switch users to creators of said product and it is not bullshit at all. Reddit is only what it is due to the users contributions. The site itself is nothing but a medium.
You know what? Options exist, alternatives have been literally plastered everywhere on reddit since one week before the blackout began. And everything the CEO has done since then very clearly shows he considers us shit.
Some people don’t care? They’re eager to be treated like that? They probably deserve to stay on reddit, it’s up to them.
get back to unpaid work or else!!!
Weak ass protest if mods just cave… I’d be like go for it fuckers… I mean you aren’t going to pay someone and just placing random folks in that position without the mod tools necessary to do the unpaid job is really going to implode.
