Nice strawman. Building your own enemy how you want it.

They have to control what you read and it’s always the same argument. ‘Dogwhistle’, ‘Groomer’, ‘Nazi’, ‘Pedo’, etc…
Funny thing is you never see this IRL and it’s only the terminally online who write like this. IRL discussions are much more mellow and you can talk with people about stuff, even controversial topics and you can always drop it and be good.
Every comment in this thread you could’ve found on reddit and copy pasted it here. Same quality of discourse.
This exact thread down to the comments could’ve been on reddit and no one would’ve noticed. It’s the same rehashed arguments and discussion ad nauseum. If you don’t like some instance/magazine/whatever just block it yourself and be done with it.
That’s always how it works out tho. If you work for anyone you never do it as an unspoken agreement as the rules will change later on. No matter the assurances.
imagine working for a corp for 15 years for free 💀
Perfect. ‘Downvote’ me too so you can really show it to me how WRONG I am.
If you want to see what happens if this culture permeates here just look at Mastodon. Negative growth, barely any interaction and it’s the same few people shouting into the void. I checked some mutuals who proudly announced they’d move to Mastodon and most haven’t posted anything this year. Still posting regularly on Twitter tho :clownface:
A lot of users here are the same, ‘move’ here to show they’re protesting and then stop posting in a few weeks or months and back to reddit.
Some clown mod made over 50 magazines/subs on kbin. Hasnt posted 1 comment since a little over a week. Bio reads: ‘Proud owner of xxx communities.’ lol
If there is no unique culture/point to this platform and it’s just reddit 2.0 then people will simply go back to reddit.
tbh the culture here is reddit in its purest form right now. once they start sanitizing everything here again I’m out. One opinion allowed ONLY and if you dont align you’re a NAZI and FAR RIGHT TROLL
Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he’s finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related
Powermod of over 1000 subs. Permanently online. Bans users for no reason and posts inflammatory comments and pins them in threads. One example - Do you remember the r/Art drama where the artist got her art removed by a mod who said it was AI art (it was not) and berated the artist for her style? Yep, that’s awkwardtheturtle.
Basically the worst of the WORST of reddit mods with no life outside of reddit.
reddit mods cant stand to lose their ‘power’ kek
its the only thing they have
dont we all know since Ellen Pao that it doesnt matter what the figurehead says? its all garble garble. see what they are doing instead
‘deny the right’ not sure the users had that in the first place
The loudest mods keep posting even amongst themselves when they closed ‘their’ subs. Check their post history. It’s performative.
There’s a reason reddit mods are reviled everywhere on the internet. Let them cry and piss and shit themselves. It’s free entertainment
Prob the same people who remade the subs here as magazines, squatting on the name but havent made a single comment since 4 or 5 days ago.
Not to be diminutive to your point, but reddit discussion weren’t high quality either and I have a feeling they won’t be here too. They might be friendlier on here, written more ‘eloquently’ to give them a sheen of informedness, but unless people start from similar knowledge bases on topics, then meaningful discussion will never materialize.
I predict any technical/political topic on here will be a dumpsterfire of uninformedness just like it was on reddit. You can already see reddit-tier responses to popular topics. In the end the same few talking points will be repeated over and over again, right or wrong (mostly wrong or incomplete).
It’s why I personally stay away from these completely and stick to sharing art/game stuff. It’s far more sane.
Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.
Although I guess people on here don’t want to hear this, he’s right on that one. Price to pay with the normiefication of reddit. No more community. Only consumers.
I thought the same thing today lol
Some /m/worldnews thread and the topics was ‘Texas installs panic buttons for classrooms’…yeah nice 'world’news. I guess when your whole world is the US
Juicy in what way? Pedo-admins like Aimee Chanellor or more vote manipulation?
I don’t think any of this matters much for reddit unless spez is me-too’d or somehow nuked on a smilar level.
This is delusional on multiple levels. Reddit owns the subs. They will simply replace mods of the biggest subs, smaller subs will falter and some will be replaced by other content if reddit allows them to stay shut down.
It’s funny seeing the meltdown of mods as if they’re holding it all together when there are hundreds of people in line to replace them - for free. Besides if a subs content goes to shit new ones spring up. Reddit is that big.
It was a nice but meaningless statement that won’t accomplish anything except shutting down some fan favorite subs.
Normies don’t care, normies probably didn’t even know the protest was happening or why it was happening until some of their subs went dark. And last I checked comments on reddit the most upvoted are making fun of mods and their shutdown.
‘When there is nothing to complain about just make up an enemy’
Whatever enemy you’re projecting doesn’t exist except in your head.
