Well good for them, they can have a lot of fun paying reddit staff to be the mods now.
In all fairness, that’s how Twitter did things from what I can understand.
Of course, that can be quite the payroll expense, especially with a weird model with a panoply of interest-based domains.
I’m sure the Reddit employees will be up to it and has all the equipment necessary for it. That protest was about the amazing internal tooling the mods loved using, right?
If they think that their API costs were high imagine how expensive paid moderation is.
Pretty sure spez said it wasn’t the cost of running or maintaining the API that was the problem, but the opportunity cost of having users on third party apps. At least, that’s what I cleaned from Christian Selig’s post.
But man is he beating around the bush about that. Sprinkling “but Apollo won’t play ball :(” to shift the blame. Fuck Spez.
It is all about the data collection that they are missing from people using 3rd party apps.
That and reddit is a goldmine for training llm’s. It’s a perfect shitstorm.
What is llm’s?
What is llm’s?
Large language model, think ChatGPT.
Eh, that’s what India is for.
Thank you for doing the needful
My sysadmin brain just exploded
Duuuuuude they didn’t wait long did they? And they attack r/adviceanimals, one of the core subs, even though it isn’t one of the defaults anymore.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Steve Huffman brings back r/jailbait. The fucking dirty paedo.
This is informative and unfortunate.
Yes I don’t want reddit mods and admins taking over this place. When I left reddit I am leaving their mods too.
Weren’t they already in control of the subs? There’s 4k admins, apparently.
It was a matter of time before the admins started doing this. Fuck Spez, you piece of shit
That’s why we desperately need downvoting, making fake stories sink to the bottom.

Lemmy should make itself as much like Reddit as it possibly can except for the small handful of money-grubbing cunts who’d rather destroy communities than allow them to exist without profiting from them.
Anybody have a link to this post? I can’t find it in the user’s page.
I saw a lot of people predicting this before the blackout. I expect a lot of the mods will refuse to moderate.
Gee, what a surprise that everyone called last week. Of course Reddit admins are booting uncooperative mods in favor of those that will un-private their subs, they have zero reason to be loyal to mods protesting against them. And they’re actively losing advertising revenue for each sub that’s dark.
The real way to protest this is to delete your Reddit account and never look back. Monthly active users is the only statistic that will force them to backtrack on any of the API pricing changes, and loads of people that have moved to Lemmy are actively using both platforms.
Fuck Reddit. But honestly I’m less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and it’s already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.
Same. Im already within more communities than i ever had subreddits. Theres simply more to talk about here imo. The platform just needs to grow a little bigger and well have the ultra-niche communities not be complete ghost towns. Cant wait!
So much for all the “oh, it’s not hurting our revenue” dismissals.
Welp, I’m officially never going back to reddit, might as well start deleting my account now…

I can personally attest to the efficacy of this tool. It destroyed 12 years of typing in like 6 minutes.
Five stars, would nuke again.
i haven’t had that big sample, but it works. one thing to note, content from subs set to private is not affected, so running it once and deleting acct means that content from these places will become irreversibly visible when blackout ends. for example /privacy ended blackout a little bit later and so /privacy content was not deleted in first pass, in my case that is
