I get why mods care about the unique spaces they've made, like askhistorians or something. But why tf would anyone at this point give free labor to mod funny or any of the other generic monster subs? Make the pigboy police the nazis on his platform to keep advertisers happy

Getting rid of old.reddit I guarantee it. It's only a matter of time

gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y (4 replies)

i always saw a ton of people saying they'd leave reddit if they took away old.reddit but i feel like that wont happen

Klear@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y

I was saying that. Ended up leaving ahead of schedule.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

It never happens. I remember how so many people said they were gonna leave Reddit with the API nonsense. Annnnddd they're still there. lol

gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

all the ''''protest''''' did was say 'if we dont use it for 3 days surely spez will freak out', they couldnt even boycott the site for a week lmfao. is reddit a severe addiction?

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -9 pts · 1y

Exactly! lol

breakingcups@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y

Given it was the only easy way to protest something as community moderators you bet!

Steve@startrek.website · 14 pts · 1y (1 reply)

All mods replaced with AI

rustyfish@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Almost certainly this. It’s on par with what Reddit has been doing the last few years.

Nah, something awful is long gone

His actual lizard skin, or the human costume he wears?

bluewing@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

Either way it's got to itch.

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Wait. I just saw another post about thousands of bot accounts joining new subs. Is this to ensure "le Reddit army" can still appear active?

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Ah, a fellow le gentlesir in the wild!

tips hat

Lol, if you don't get it, you're not a Redditor. ;)

Interesting to see if anyone will mention Lemmy

jballs@sh.itjust.works · 28 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez's bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?

Blaze@feddit.org · 18 pts · 1y

"everyone is there already" is a the reason I see the most

I am not on Reddit, but, would making a subreddit private lead to difficulty in training the AI and collecting data?

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 1y

sorta, by reducing or eliminating new activity on that sub.

Honestly I'm just waiting for for the other shoe to drop. This is the exploding pager before the ground offensive.

Old.Reddit.com is next to be killed..

Blaze@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

They should do it

Kbobabob@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

So even less people want to go to that site?

DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Yep! I love it. Remember not everyone used their phone for reddit but a fuckton still go to old reddit.

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world · -12 pts · 1y

I thought it already was, until I saw your post.

Kinda like that time the king of England took away Massachusetts' legislatures. But I have a feeling the king here will fair better this go around.

intensely_human@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

George’s problem was that he was merely a king, and not a god

redditrassholes9344@discuss.online · 3 pts · 1y

Hopefully he won't, Reddit may seem more powerful in this scenario, but they aren't invulnerable to threats or attacks. Hopefully enough angry people decide to do what's necessary when the time comes.
