This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How is no one mentioning the abuse on r/conservative where spewing all kinds of falsehoods, and xenophobias and you are gold, but trying to provide factual information gets banned?
I think there are more things to worry about than the number of groups someone helps moderate.
And alsothere is no recourse against improper bans. I was banned from my corresponding country sub because a moderator misinterpreted something I said.
Hey, they chose to offer free labor for a company that has proven time and time again to not give a crap about the mods or the users. I get why they are complaining but I at least hope that they aren’t surprised or expect that their complaints will do anything.
Lol fuck reddit cuck mods anyways.
Working for free for a major company should be considered a mental illness. If your going to volunteer your time do it to an actual good cause.
Not fucking reddit.
It limits mods to 5 subs with over 100,000 monthly visits it seems reasonable to limit the mods reach they all have back deals going on to push agendas and ads it's pretty fucked.
I have negative respect for mods at this point.
I've seen too much unchecked mod abuse to ever take their decisions seriously again.
Site is already broken
MRW someone posts about Reddit still being a shit community tolerating abuse on a downward arc from Advance Publications, to Mods (fuck Spez), to users.
"Hey guys, I heard about a poppin' new club! The cover is only $10, but bouncers get to backhand anyone anytime they feel like it, and kick you out anytime that you advocate support for anything even slightly left of center." /s ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ
I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.
Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod.
Fuck Reddit basement dwelling mods and fuck Reddit in general, so glad I'm done with that shit app, I say something a little mean and I get perm banned, fucking losers
Allowing volunteer mods was dangerous enough. Allowing those mods to have unlimited subreddits was a magnet for agenda-driven operatives. The changes don't really do enough to get rid of mods with an agenda.
BTW, once a Reddit mod permabans you, there's no way to appeal their ban. The mods can simply ignore your request for a review. Also, after you are banned, Reddit doesn't automatically decrement the membership count. You must unjoin on your own. So its membership numbers are inflated for each subreddit.
average of over 60,000 daily active moderators” that month, which, at the time, would mean that 0.1 percent of all mods equals 600 people.
No, it equals 60 people.
Caught a permaban for calling someone a coward. No big loss, honestly. Reddit wasn't doing anything for me except raising my blood pressure.
Break it hahaha! Fuck that place!
the mods that arnt playing ball with reddit that is. the power mods, or the mods that have the admins ear wont be affected.
And yet they still shadowban. Fuck Reddit.
One the one hand I can understand the issue that one person wielding mod power in many subs is a problem, especially if that mod is prone to abuse of the mod position.
On the other hand, some subs, especially smaller ones, might go modless.
What I would have done differently is that I would not align this rule on the number of subs alone. The size of a sub should also be a factor, as well as overall number of mods in those groups. A good solution would be not as easy as what they propose.
moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.
I mean, that's clearly a rule that considers size of sub a factor, so, um, what?
Limiting the number of large subs a user can moderate is a good way to a) limit their power b) reduce misinformation campaigns.
