What tf is going on over there I’ve not been to Reddit since the 11th

[–] zedtronic@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Reddit is now filled with a bunch of people saying "we don't even NEED mods! they just make everything worse!", because this is apparently their first time on the Internet.

I had a Hacker News discussion where in separate comments, a guy said:

  • all the moderators should go away because they're not needed, and he doesn't agree with their decisions
  • but there should still be moderation
  • but he's not going to do it because he's not here to do unpaid labor
  • but of course he wouldn't pay for there to be moderators

Internet discourse in a nutshell

I think we talked to the same guy

@Raji_Lev @Casmael @zedtronic @JoeCoT

Chances are good that it was separate dudes. This is not an uncommon thought loop.

Aw.. I went and made myself sad.

@dismalnow do we have to tag people here for them to see replies?

[–] Raji_Lev@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been getting notified of replies even when I don't get tagged

@Raji_Lev

@Casmael @zedtronic @JoeCoT @NoIWontPickaName

Likewise. They pop in the notifications for kbin mags and lemmy, too.

@'s autopopulate in replies using kbin's webapp, though.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Weird, I am only getting tags on kbin right now

[–] dismalnow@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@zedtronic

@Raji_Lev @Casmael

Yeah. My tendencies are pretty tame anymore, and my inner troll just started salivating.

Right now some guy is typing "COMMENCE OPERATION ASS FUCK" into some fucked up window

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me either. It feels good.

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same. It really does

[–] wafer@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The people that cared distanced themselves already so a new majority of indifference starts to emerge. Those that are still active on Reddit are now more likely to just want things back to normal.

[–] Kleinbonum@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Well, yeah, there's definitely going to be a new "normal" for Reddit.

[–] claymedia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Either only the scabs are left, or there’s a concerted smear campaign against the mods who helped with the blackout. I lean towards the latter, but it’s probably both.

[–] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

There's a lot of upset users who had no idea that a protest had been planned for weeks ahead of time or that the protests made the news.

They just showed up looking for their content, and having it cut off is like when your heroin supplier leaves town.

I talked to some kid who was furious he couldn't see r/starwars.

And he blamed it all on the mods.

When I explained the whole history of what was happening, he said he supported the protest but wanted to subs to go public again.

:/

[–] Raji_Lev@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I only went over today cause a couple of the subs I frequent had temporarily opened to ask "Should we stay blacked out?"

Not planning to make that mistake again anytime soon
