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.

Welcome. I am enjoying the Connect app with AMOLED theme and small icons and text. Feels RIF-like.

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.

I’m starting to see the bad Reddit mods on Lemmy as well.

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.

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.

All moderators are, at best, sub-human.

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

I wouldn’t call it alpha, but man, does it have UI problems.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
