MODERATORS
I’m just glad some mods are smart enough now to realize that putting subs in nsfw mode is the way to go. The subreddit shutdown, John Oliver spam, etc, really didn’t accomplish anything. Like, why would Reddit admins even care you’re spamming John Oliver? You’re still getting them ad revenue.
apparently reddit has been cracking down hard on that measure, and lately they even unilaterally set every sub back to sfw, after threatening moderators with vague consequences if they start posting or approving nsfw to justify the label
Great, permanent nsfw worked. Their next move is to run an active campaign to get people out of Reddit and onto better alternatives. That’s all that’s left now.
The bot mods are going to do that for lemmy, banning anyone speaking across echo chambers.
Yet they don't do anything against Oliver. Almost like the nsfw thing works
The John Oliver thing is more of a long-game strategy. The less posts become interesting, the less engagement Reddit is going to have. Although what they didn't consider is that those subs are very unspecific and there are enough alternatives that people aren't going to miss them.
It's a passive protest, while the NSFW one is active and therefore more effective/dangerous even short-term.
Sounds like dictatorship... Am I using that right?
literally 1984
I mean, depending on the number of owners, a private company like Reddit (per Wikipedia) can function internally like a dictatorship or oligarchy. Occasionally they can be benevolent, but consider dictatorships in nations: how many of those are benevolent?
Ultimately, anything less than workplace democracy (like Mondragon) will likely devolve into rampant exploitation at some point in time, and even they aren't completely immune, just generally less bad than their alternatives.
That's when Cyberpunk 2077 decided to encourage people to take screenshots of fully nude models in the character creator and start posting them in the sub.
Super quick and low effort way to stay on topic and stay NSFW.
