Reminder to y'all that @astroturfing is open for visiting.
When youtube published the dislike counter it was common knowledge that 3% was the threshold for good content, while 1% was excellent and 30% was garbage.
It’s funny how Reddit rarely if ever has stepped in to reign in actual problematic mods in the past, instead just encouraging people to create their own subreddit if they don’t like how it’s being run.
Because more subs and more ~~workers~~ mods means more content and more money.
Imagine the problems that it will cause if bots are used to map who downvoted you.
Thanks, I did it yesterday... and I crashed my hard drive. It's a 1.2TB archive and my ssd couldn't even handle the IO of the empty entries alone.
I was still able to count my posts in /r/linux, more than 1400. It goes fast.
On reddit if you were european you were basically missing the action since the posts were written by americans and already 8 hours old, and your replies would be buried under the hundreds of comments.
Most of the time there was no point if you weren't present like 1h after a post was made.
The only people who would read your comments would be an AI.
Honestly the best move now is to overwrite all your comments with replies from chatgpt, since AI's hate feeding from other AI answers. It's like poisoning the well.
That's not the attitude of someone who's confident that his flock will come back.
Create the subs you need and CREATE CONTENT FOR IT. People will come as long as you have useful information or interesting content. Ask to be given the control of a sub if needed.
Too many people around here create a sub without content just so they can run the place. This need to stop.
For the reddit thing I started browsing reddit without login a long time ago and I don't regret it. Just don't give them any content.
No, don't point redditors to our servers, let them find by themselves. It's a great filter. If someone is motivated enough to leave reddit then he will find us.
The reddit admins have an excuse for booting out the last mods, for stability reasons, since the blackout caused a downtime.
The last redditors will be modded by robots and what they say will be analysed by other robots for money. How fun.
