I’ve deleted all my content I can across 3 accounts and a decade of posts and comments one thing though I have thousands of coins. I’ve never bought any before they are all rewards from posts. I kinda want to spend them on something.
I went through and gilded a bunch of posts telling people how to move to tildes/fediverse/etc, or who pointed out major flaws in reddit’s positions.
Oh, I also unsubbed from all the subreddits I was in, didn’t want me included as part of an inflated subscriber count.
I didn’t think of that! The inflated subscriber count!
Reddit seems so clunky compared to Lemmy now. I used the official ap anyway so the whole 3rd party thing didn’t actually affect my direct experience. But obviously their actions affect us all.
Anyway, I like using lemmy straight on the mobile browser, just looks so much nicer among other things
I’d like to see about implementing some sort of identity verification service for the sub. I’m an IT engineer/developer, so coding is absolutely my forte… Services like Stripe allow people in over 100 countries to match face to government-issued-ID to prove their identity (at a cost of about $1.50 per verification).
YIKES
Honestly though … with the disinformation campaigns at State scale, the botnets, the AI content, and whatever comes next, how do we not have to have a verified human user internet in the next 20 years?
Thats a really good question. The only options I can think of is better captchas or to straight up consider any output from a machine as inadmissible/unverifiable
It would be a shame if people posted about them on linkedin
Incoming revolving door of Mods who get burnt.
The line of people who want the authority but whom cannot handle the responsibility extends around the block.
Mod turnover will go through the roof. Make no mistake, this is not an untried strategy from Reddit. You get rid off those who can do the job well but are not on-board, you replace them with sycophants who cannot do the job but will tow the line. When shit goes south you hang them out to dry and get in the new batch. Very well known corporate strategy.
If you elect me as head mod I promise to only ban people who I don’t like (I hate everyone)
I’m afraid to say I’m a mod on FB lol, but it’s a UK US based weather group that I’m very passionate about with 92k members.
Basically as a mod, never argue with a member, never show a member up to the rest of the group, there are better ways to deal with things other than flat out banning someone. Being a mod should be keeping things under control so the group remains a good place to go. That’s all.
Our main problem is the fake accounts from the Military pilots wanting to speak to the lovely ladies or make you a killing with bitcoin lol.
aa
I have zero modding experience, but I know that doing the job well would be harder (and more time consuming) than it looks.
I’m guessing that most new mods that reddit will end up with just want the “power” but will fall on their faces when it comes to performance. I’m grateful to the good mods on every site/sub/instance who do it for free. Thanks, everyone!
I’ve modded a fair few subs. It’s difficult, boring and thankless work for no reward beyond the satisfaction of smoothly running a community you’re passionate about…or power tripping, for those who’re into that.
Most people who end up becoming mods will burn out pretty fucking quick. Not to mention, there’ll be cases where a sub requires a certain subject matter expert for mod work and…well, those ain’t easy to find.
I like the new mod’s comment about how modding will be easy because of the bots. Lol
O.M.G.
SnackExchange is a pretty light-touch subreddit. “Problem people” are a rarity here; the anti-scammer bot does an incredibly good job of keeping would-be scammers out, and you’ll find that cases of fraud/scam, while they do ever happen, are extremely rare. As such, I genuinely envision myself needing to do very little. I’m always nervous to use the “nah this community just runs itself!” phrasing, but… it really does come pretty close.
I can’t see any problems, therefore there must not be any problems!
Stupid bastard.

Seems like a great choice for head mod.
I really hope they leave with their bots, just to spite him. Too bad they won’t though, some mods are fools who care far too much about communities that couldn’t care less about them.
I don’t think they truly realize why “problem people” are so rare
Pretty much the same thing happened to /r/assholedesign. They made someone that’s been inactive for two years the lead mod and they reopened the sub. There’s like no chance ppl aren’t getting paid to backstab the other mods.
So he scabs as a total noob first time mod, AND his whole plan is rely on bots that won’t work in a few days and require govt id to mail someone some chips?
Fucking lulz
Shoutout to the mod who just bailed immediately 😂
Does the snack exchange now include gifs of popcorn?
Just let it burn down at this point. Shorting this stock is going to be easy easy money
I am not a broker, this is not financial advice, don’t sue me if this doesn’t work, etc
Can you short an IPO?
If you’re a mere mortal you have to wait for your broker to have a sufficient number of shares available for shorting. If you’re a giant hedge fund or other financial entity with a blatant disregard for the rules, then sure. You just short the stocks naked and issue a failure to deliver if you can’t locate enough shares to cover.
Remember kids, “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”.
Counter-point: just do it, pussy, you’ll be fiiiiine!
r/wallstreetbets has entered the fediverse
Grabbing popcorn 🍿
Insult to injury. What a smug usurping little scab.
lol Reddit’s death has finally started. Can’t wait to see spez’s asswipe shills bring the whole thing down with their incompetence.
EDIT: I went through the subredditdrama post, and looking at some of the comments made me glad I’m leaving that place.
Now that I have some distance from daily reddit, and time in what is really a much better community here, going back there makes me realize how poor quality so much of the content is, both posts and comments.
Yeah, much of Reddit is absolute trash. It’s really hard to find dedicated communities for anything, but most of ‘em are much better than Reddit for everything ‘cept reach.
Really, the only communities I’ll miss are niche hobby communities. The rest of the website could crash and burn for all I care.
WTF is this happy horseshit?
I’d like to see about implementing some sort of identity verification service for the sub.
Exactly my response too. Like this inexperienced mod takes the sub by playing nice with the admins and the first thing they want to implement is identity verification? Dafaq
Does he know he is a ‘Reddit’ mod?
Probs first time in his life he got some Power over something and instantly power trips.
Cool, now do AskHistorians
Did they migrate yet? I keep not logging in to reddit…
Damn, this subreddit will surely meet it’s demise
Having no mod is better than having a bad one
