MODERATORS
I guess laziness and habit will lead to passiveness and desire to stick with the safety of "proven solutions". The decisions of the mods would not matter if the normal users started leaving en mass. Sadly this would not happen, or maybe it's a blessing in disguise, lemmy and kbin are much more reminiscent of the old Internet for me, which is something that I have missed.
The important thing is that we are here, I really hope everyone of us will do their best to make of the fediverse something better, compated to the platforms of the big, greedy corporations.
Makes me wonder what they are getting out of it. I mean if it is just volunteer work, the job goes to shit, the company you are volunteering your time with threatens you, why not drop it and take it to another platform where you would be appreciated.
Maybe they have a good reason to cave. But I can’t see it and my naivety just makes me think they are getting kickbacks somewhere somehow.
it's surprising how many people will do things for free if you delude them into thinking they have power.
Those fuckers are undeleting my comments.
Why not delete your account? Heck link it to your email, use a VPN to show as being in Europe and tell them to delete all info related to your account.
GDPR FTW. It's a real and powerful tool to protect people from companies. Use it.
How did you know?
Because I deleted all my comments and logged in and my coments are coming back.
You know what? Options exist, alternatives have been literally plastered everywhere on reddit since one week before the blackout began. And everything the CEO has done since then very clearly shows he considers us shit.
Some people don't care? They're eager to be treated like that? They probably deserve to stay on reddit, it's up to them.
I mod a smaller sub and haven't received this, seems like they're negotiating with the biggest subs/mods only. I haven't gotten a single communication from Reddit about this outside of what's publicly posted or in the news.
So we’ll take the protest to the comments? Who’s gonna mod if they kick out the mods?
