For those that don’t want to go to reddit: https://i.imgur.com/1Rk2FqQ.jpeg
You have to use the imgur app to look at that link, unfortunately (on mobile). They make it super low res if you try to look at it in a web browser.
That sub gave me some good chuckles. Big sad.
Somebody said they wanted to leave for a Reddit like Threads. Wtf. Anyway, isn’t that just mastadon.
Yeah they’re fucked. New moderation will never work if the users don’t support it. And judging from the comments, they definitely don’t support it.
I want to be a mod because I just fucking love bootlicking. Can’t get enough of that sweet sweet leather. I don’t have any mod experience, but I once smeared my own shit on the wall of a bathroom in a truck stop in kentucky, if that helps.
Those comments are gold.
That one is so good, lol.
Every day they make it more and more unattractive for me to want to go back there lmao.
If you want people who do what you want, PAY THEM. Seems pretty simple.
Slow motion suicide.
This is almost as funny as when Drew Curtis killed Fark.com, or when Digg killed themselves.
They all forgot that they only thing keeping them successful was that users liked them better than the alternatives.
What did Drew do to Fark?
Fark was the first aggregator of its kind. The headlines were hilarious and the curated content was really great.
Unfortunately Drew’s ego killed the place. Digg arrived and was allowing a true democracy of content. Instead of Fark empowering its users the same way, they continued to control the content from the top. So, people went to where THEY had the power.
So Drew didn’t really kill Fark, he just didn’t change it to be something that wasn’t Fark and lost users to people that wanted something different.
I don’t think that’s what Spez is doing to Reddit at all. Spez is actively trying to make Reddit into a cookie cutter social media platform, which it is (was) not.

Jeez, doesn’t that sound familiar.
Ahhh, yes, FARK. The diconomy of mods posting right-wing bullshit and more sane posters calling out said bullshit was interesting, to say the least.
Didn’t really bother with Digg. Just went from FARK straight to Reddit.
This thread is full on glorious
Any screenshots for those not wanting to muddy their feet?
For those comments you can make exception.
It’s marked nsfw so you need the app to view it on mobile.
Yes. App opens automatically on my phone.
I can’t view it because it says “NSFW”. Why? Wtf!
If you add “.i” to the very end of the URL it’ll load the classic mobile site that bypasses all of the stupid popups, NSFW blocks, massive ads etc.

Do you mean old.reddit? You change it to that or you can change it in your preferences.

Those were advantages, not drawbacks.

Here’s the actual image link instead of imgurs front end crap. (skips the ‘are you 18??’ check too)

Open the non direct link, select ‘show desktop site’ if your on mobile, then right click/long press on the image and select ‘open image in new tab’ to get the image link.
Thanks!

Baby needs a new Lambo.
Tries to force me to read it on the Reddit app. No.
- request it
- close it back down
1: request it
2: turn it into a scat fetish page
NGL I considered applying and then just not using reddit like I’m doing now if I was selected but as the mod of a small niche subreddit (which I’m not actually moderating, but also never needed to) I figured they would probably look at it and see the stickied post with the link to the Lemmy community I made and I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the effort to try that troll.
Love all the mod volunteer comments…lmao.
Kind of bummed that the r/LifeProTips mod team seems to have submitted a real request to take over. Just kind of disappointed in the team over there.
I would like to be a mod to help ensure a safe and civil environment for good-faith discussions and knowledge sharing within the community. Unfortunately as an AI system I do not have any direct moderation experience, but I have vast language knowledge, am good at identifying toxic content and common negative speech patterns, and aim to provide unbiased and fair responses which I believe could help me moderate effectively with human oversight. Overall, I want to use my abilities to have a positive impact and help make the community a better place.

I vote for this guy. Seems like they’d have a very chill approach that’s open to hearing out their users, unlike most mods who just swing their flaccid dick at the ban button. Consider it:
You have been banned for participating in X Sub for Behavior.
Imagine that I’m not tho.
For those who don’t want to have to open Reddit:
New moderators needed - comment on this post to volunteer to become a moderator of this community. Hello everyone - this community is in need of a few new mods and you can use the comments on this post to volunteer and let us know why you’d like to be a mod.
Please use at least 3 sentences to explain why you’d like to be a mod and what moderation experience you have (it’s okay if you don’t have any! But do tell us why you believe you’d be able to help here)
I don’t think there’s a single serious response. Good.
There are sadly a few scabs down towards the bottom. A couple of mega-mods who only care about how many subreddits they have under their belts.
“Please use at least 3 sentences”. I can’t even.
I cannot read that
imgur makes you open it in their app otherwise it’s blurry, unfortunately. If you have another image hosting site you recommend, I don’t mind uploading it again
Request the desktop site to find the nearly full resolution picture.
That worked, thanks!
I have seen catbox.moe used a lot, you could try that.
Pixelfed is the federated image hosting service. I wouldn’t spam it full of stuff unless you’re hosting your own instance, but it’s good for small things like this that don’t necessarily need to have permanent availability.
Kbin does image-hosting when you attach an image to a comment, and I assume that Lemmy does too. I don’t know if either has size restrictions (though if they don’t, I assume that they’re going to have to have some level of constraints to avoid abuse).
Apps used to be good and helped the web. Now it’s just an advertising nightmare for us. I know this is drastic for just this comment but the Web was a big part of my life growing up, building a career in it and meeting loads of great people but recently with everything going on I feel like we’ve lost it to the corporations very very quickly.
I’m definitely going to de corporate as much as possibly can.
Needs moar artifacts!
Looking forward to them getting a bunch of people who immediately take it NSFW again
They’re definitely going to look at comment history
“This 1 hour old account seems like the perfect mod.”
Delete all historical comments.
You honestly believe reddits admins can’t see your deleted comments…?
Good point. I’d then just create a new account and if having a new account precludes anyone from being an Admin, then the talent pool just becomes shallower.
Ironic
Since this thing has image support:
