You'd think in 16 years they'd have understood.. well.. anything, really.

The antenna on Pikachu is a nice detail.

It's always hard to find trustable mods to contribute with a community. It was like this already before Reddit started backstabbing its own userbase, a few years ago; recent events made it even worse. Nowadays I'm pretty sure that the only ones who might volunteer there are the people who should be far, far away from mod duties.

Spez when he fucks over his customer base and people just leaves instead of giving him more money

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 8 points 1 year ago

You're right that he's alienated (heh) his customer base. But remember, his customer base is the reddit advertisers.

On the downside- there will always be people wanting to accept the power of being a mod.

On the plus side- those new young, power-hungry moderators are likely to cause even more people to jump ship.

There's a finite number of people willing to do a bunch of unpaid labor. Pissing off the ones who were most devoted is not a good strategy.

Why don't people want to sacrifice their free time to administrate our business for free?!?

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Funny thing is they used to, because there was a time when it was enjoyable…

[-] 2D_@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

Out of the loop here. Are they just booting mods that don’t do what they want and “play nice”?

[-] fearout@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

Yep. And then opening threads in those communities looking for new mods. But the overwhelming majority of replies seem to be either trolling or giving them shit. Whatever few people volunteer are heavily downvoted, and a lot of those are either powermods moderating dozens or hundreds of subs, or people you do not want to have as mods anyway. So whatever thoughtful and insightful moderation there once was seems to be in heavy decline.

Yes. That exactly.

Reddit is doomed

[-] Gatopardo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Any real.ides of how is it developing? I feel like with Reddit's reach, there will be enough people wanting to mod.

[-] dpozinen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Understood what? There was always a bunch of mods waiting in line, wanting to make a fine addition to their sub collection. It's actually shocking to me this time too

[-] db2@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago

That when you betray trust you become untrusted.

I mean, duh.

[-] Bozicus@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think a lot of people who would be interested in moderating have taken a good look at how Reddit is treating existing mods, and gone, “nahhh.”
