Four of those were posted three months ago, well before this whole thing kicked off.
Only means they were planning in advance.
Wooooosh
I am a mod of a dedicated niche Discord fanclub server. We run the server well enough that the actual creator of the thing we like & owner/admin of the official server pops in occasionally to say hi, interact, and give updates on events & future releases. Hell, even the mod team from the official server joined our server for a more casual experience.
If I wasn’t passionate about the subject, there’s no way I’d be helping to maintain it out of the “good of my heart”. The work of moderating something with an ultra-large fanbase? If you don’t truly and passionately care about it, forget it! And even if you did, it can still be too much of am endeavor to put up with for free!
To let just any rando moderate a community will lead to its downfall. I’m especially worried when it comes to things like mental health & recovery subs.
All of Hitler’s American youth are going to flock their and get their fascist dream job.
(My Hitler’s you I mostpy mean 45+ yo men)
No.
That is SAD.
Seasonal affective disorder hitting early this year.
No, this is an Arby’s
This is a Wendy’s, sir
(sigh) It’s both.
Just offer all the jobs to ChatGPT!
NEDA tried that with their eating disorder hotline: it didn’t end well…
Sadly, my local laws, consider volunteering for a company as illegal work. So I can’t help reddit. Of course there is dome exception, but none applies here.
Did the mods leave on their own or were they thrown out after the blackout?
We don’t need no water, let the motherfucker burn.
Timmy play your trumpet watch the people go berserk!
Reddit should have the top mod be an admin, for at least the majors. Kind of crazy that the don’t.
Then they’d have to pay them a salary.
I am so tempted to volunteer.
And then immediately go malicious compliance, turning everything NSFW and creating funky rules for whatever subreddit they give me.
- /r/Chrome would be exclusively about chromed-metal-centric DIY projects and car mods, everything else gets deleted and you get banned for repeat offenses.
- /r/therapy would just have a single stickied link to a how-to-delete-your-reddit-data-and-profile guide.
Etc, etc.
If you get assigned as a mod for one that they force removed the mods. You could just give control back to the old mods.
Apparently nylonfetish needs a mod. I feel like it’s your time to shine.
Curious to know if the comments are more “What’s the time commitment…expectations…etc?” Or “Bahahaha fuk /u/spez and fuk reddit lolz”
Yeah. Could you offer to do it for 100$/hour And if they pick you send bills to reddit?
Imagine they’re not reading comments and just pick a top level comment at random. And now you’re a mod because you commented something like “fuck u/spez - told you so”
More replies than I thought there would be. Are those volunteers?
Some trolling but there are always people who will jump at any opportunity to “take over” a community and it’s almost always for the wrong reasons.
Also just a heads up that your user icon isn’t loading from your home instance nor mine.
Huh. I wonder why. It’s loading in all of my clients - but, then, I was subscribed to a community on feddit.de, and it disappeared on me about a week later (I simply can’t get to it). I figured there were some defederation shenanigans going on, on one side or the other, but maybe midwest.social is having some issues instead.
I try to not care about problems with social networking; I find it’s easier to maintain my chill that way.
Thanks for the heads-up!
It looks like your instance is still federated with them: https://midwest.social/instances. The community might have just been deleted altogether. You can verify by checking the modlog, which is publicly accessible with Lemmy.
You probably uploaded your profile picture before a pictrs rollback, which would mean it appears for all of your clients and browsers that have cached it but if you pull up an incognito window it’ll likely be missing. You’ll have to re-upload it for them to show for anyone else. Cheers!
Thanks! I’ll check that.
Also, in case you’re wondering what it looks like (it’s the same from lemdro.id and midwest.social) :).
That is my avatar. Black, like my soul.
I need to re-upload it.
Interesting…
Oh dear and it’s some of their more vulnerable subreddits too like Anxietyhelp and Therapy.
Oh and need some for Chrome, lol.
become moderator for /r/Chrome
Recommend people switch to Firefox
