"Ok guys, if we take the site down they can't have a blackout: It's brilliant!"

We did it, reddit!

...wait, fuck. Lemmy!

Thanks for your good punctuation.

we are reddit in some ways

[–] min0nim@aussie.zone 11 points 2 years ago

In all the ways that matter, the users and quality content are its heart. Take that away and it’s more like UnDeadit.

We're more reddit than reddit

Lemmy for president!!

Who the fuck is Lemmy?

They're likely changing the mod structure during the blackout. A lot of low-paid, repurposed bangladeshi click-farm mods coming in.

[–] roboticide@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Reddit? Paying mods? As if.

They've gone 15 years not paying mods for their work. They're not about to start now, especially if they're concerned about costs.

Replacing them all with automod

u/Spez-autoGPT joined to the thread.

Hopefully they culled his comments from before roughly 2014 or they're gonna have a whole new problem on their hands.

Not paying mods gave them an out to not be a publisher.

If your company is the one doing the moderation, then you become responsible for what is on your website, and that means spez would have to get rid of the Nazis :(.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago

That would not surprise me in the least.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Id bet their brand new API has a few horrible bugs or the system charging accounts is too slow for the real world.

[–] spez@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check. and. mate.
