Sadly, it's working.
The thing about reddit mods... they're power hungry.
I don't get the feeling that many have any self-worth outside outside of being reddit mods.
A job that pays nothing... and takes up your entire life... you kind of have to do it because you love it, or because you think it's important, or because you love the way it makes you feel.
I've seen mods take posts down they disagreed with, I've seen mods ban people on a whim, and I've even seen mods ask for money to un-ban people.
What I haven't seen mods do? Consistently behave like well-balanced adults.
Anyway the threats seem to be working, most of Reddit seems to be back online now.
So I guess Hoffman wins, and gets to lie about 3rd party devs, and nothing really happened. Hooray... the system works! =P
Except it really opened my eyes about how horrible a place Reddit is. I don't know, like I had a few communities I liked, but ever time I ventured out of one of those I seemed to find filth covered filth.
If we're training AI on how people behave on Reddit... I think we're fucked. Get ready for ChatGPT-5, now with 50% more dishonorable, deceitful, and anti-social tendencies!
- jackdawipper 3y agomods and admins are the core issue with reddit. it works right up until you discover you have a different political position to them both. at which point all your accounts get permanently suspended. they have excellent fingerprinting too so its hard to sneak back on. I gave up trying.
