‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit::A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever
Not one mention of where said moderators who left went to…
Spend more time with my wife mostly
Is she spending time with all the former mods?
Hey! There’s a sign up sheet man, get in line
I also spend more time with OP’s wife wife. /s
Damn. I left Reddit to spend more time with your wife, too, but I’ve only been seeing your mom lately.
That poor woman.
The Granuiad has been pushing a lot of sideways shit lately. That’s a shame.
The what?
The Guardian used to be notorious for spelling mistakes so it’s jokingly referred to as the Grauniad
Haha, that’s awesome!
A lot of which were good mods too. I’ve noticed a lot more racism and otherwise right wing posting being left alone/unmoderated since the protest, in the subs I used to browse actively - nowadays I just check in with them every now and then without an account and the intentional or not lack of moderation is making me want to stop doing even that.
Probably depends on your subs. Most of mine have went far, far left and have become a tiresome dog pile of virtue signaling from behind keyboards and screens.
And I’m a leftist. There seems to be a huge difference these days in being a leftist and being a “this is now my only personality trait” leftist through which all views must be fundamentally filtered. Even non-political/non-social. It has made some subs unreadable for me, specifically my state and city subs.
Edit: I guess where I am going with it is that the extremes are becoming more extreme and seeking out new frontiers now that moderation is light.
I started an entire instance - https://lemdro.id - to provide a home to Reddit subreddits such as r/Android and r/Google Pixel (and other technical stuff)
