Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Caught a permaban for calling someone a coward. No big loss, honestly. Reddit wasn't doing anything for me except raising my blood pressure.

Reddit users, as have Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc., have all demonstrated that you can do whatever the fuck you want to them and they'll just keep coming back for more, no matter what.

Even after decades of abuse, you can open up a brand new platform (Threads) and they'll join by the millions.

Its like almost like the sites are drugs and the users are junkies that will do anything for a hit.

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.

There's a saying in my language that fits this situation perfectly: "Tja."

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.

I have negative respect for mods at this point.

I've seen too much unchecked mod abuse to ever take their decisions seriously again.

Limiting the number of large subs a user can moderate is a good way to a) limit their power b) reduce misinformation campaigns.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Literally another attempt to appear legit by putting in place an easily circumventable rule.

So first they don't even check if mods are using alt accounts to moderate other subs but even if they do force it, it's so easy to click a button on your VPN and you are free to be anyone you want according to "Reddit Corps Super Advanced Security System."

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

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.
