Reddit removes moderators, calls for new volunteers
- brodouevencode 3y agoIf reddit wants reliable mods that will follow their policies they will have to pay them.
- pablok2 3y agoRename Reddit to Y instead
- WaffleIronMaker 3y agobut you're already on the Y website right now...
- egberts1 3y agoBest moderators are ones, who slowly over the sand of time, volunteered to descend into the void, have en masses and propelled Reddit to Internet stardom. What kind of CEO fires all those precious volunteers and their millions of manhours? Now he wants different volunteers this time, and fast. Good luck. Reddit CEO is going to have to pay (thru the nose) to get the same decent moderation from new moderators.
- cyanydeez 3y agoI'm sure he'll just ring up the internet net research agency and easily find volunteer
- egberts1 3y agoConexant, Facebook's behemoth moderation team? Those aren't cheap, or even stress-free. (at first, I misread as Internet Research Agency, that Russian's Wagner Group counterintelligence, right?)
- ncr100 3y agoAmazingly rebellious comments on this thread, pretty much all that I read there talk about restoring the original moderator and then mention an expletive in regards to the CEO of Reddit. Nice to see humanity at work rather than an algorithm.
- appleflaxen 3y agoConsider r/redditseppuku
- toomuchtodo 3y agoI admire your commitment to this
- smrtinsert 3y agoAll of my subreddits seem empty or lifeless. Seems like reddit dealt itself a mortal blow and is waiting to topple. Terrible year for tech.
- tzfld 3y agoDo you want this unpaid job, from which we can lay off you anytime regardless the effort put in it by you. Send us your resume and previous experience in the field. The arrogance of these tech companies has no limits.
- dbg31415 3y agoOn linked in, there are "about 2,900" people listed who work at Reddit. Want to see something shocking? My mind was blown. Click on this link. https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?currentCompany=["150573"]&keywords=ux+designer https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?currentCompa... 86 people work at Reddit with the title "UX Designer" -- 86 people. What on earth do these people do? Reddit has some of the worst UX, and moreover, it hasn't changed in years. Years. Nothing seems like it's quite designed to fit, or ever tested... they bolted on a chat feature, but it doesn't really work with "old" Reddit. A ton of settings seem... just 90's-era seems about the best way to put it. But seriously, 86 people do UX at Reddit. No possible way that's correct.
- throwawaymobule 3y agoWould trying to frustrate users into using the app by degrading the mobile site count as ux?
- dbg31415 3y agoHa. It’s so bad! And rather then let chat work on mobile it pushes you to download the app. But if you say, “Send the desktop site…” from your phone it sends a responsive site where chat works fine. They literally go out of their way to make it awful to use.
- replwoacause 3y agoI left Reddit when spez ruined it and haven’t looked back. Now I feel silly for letting myself spend so much time there in the first place.
