This might just be me, but arbitrary CAPSLOCK on words and Title Case on threads that aren’t a link to a news article are clickbait patterns that I’d prefer to not see on kbin.
As for the object of the thread itself… I am thoroughly unsurprised. I have never seen IranianGenius involved in any positive manner with /r/tumblr whereas TayTay was singlehandedly responsible for making /r/tumblr into slightly less of a garbage heap. Removing the one mod that was actually improving things is perfectly in line with Reddit’s recent behavior.
my bad, i just wanted to make sure people actually read it lol, annoying as it is, it is EFFECTIVE haha
In the end, the good mods will leave Reddit one way or another. The admins can put as many bad mods as they want in charge of subs and it’s not going to help.
Mod of /r/homeautomation and /r/homeimprovement here. Yeah we are all done. The subreddits are staying private until we are removed forcefully or reddit changes their stance on the API. Chances are it will be the former. It’s really sad but we just cannot realistically moderate without third-party apps. And with the way spez has been acting it’s likely more mod tools/bots will be on the chopping block making our “jobs” many times harder. It’s hard, it’s sucks, I’ve been on reddit for some 12 years now (under various accounts). We love our communities but just can’t operate this way. :(
Do you have an alternative magazine/community here or on Lemmy? I followed both of those subs closely on Reddit.
I’m a mod on /r/Disneyland and our mod team set something up here on Kbin ( @Disneyland; if you’re on Lemmy go to the search bar and search
https://kbin.social/m/Disneyland).We’ve been promoting it in our “we’re private” message but it hasn’t really gotten much activity yet.
I’ve been hoping to see a giant list of communities that have moved their mod teams to other services somewhere, but I’ve just seen some isolated comments here and there.
you can just plain @ it like, @Disneyland :)
and yea, i wish mass migration was more talked about amongst mods of subreddits. imagine, mass migration + blackouts + advertiser campaign + shitty modding? powerhouse
So how would @'ing communities on other instances work? I presume the Fediverse syntax of @userorgroup@instance?
It’s !community@instance @username@instance is for pinging a user.
I just bought my first house a year ago and shortly after found /r/homeimprovement and loved how helpful it was. Is there any comparable community here yet? Both of those subs are huge misses in my list of communities.
The good mods are almost universally already gone, what was left until this point was powermods who didn’t care about any of the communities they moderated to begin with.
The GallowBoobs of the site.
Lol I actually got one of my Reddit accounts banned for reporting his content for spam, the reason was “false reporting” which I am sure is the only instance that TOS was cited for a ban.
Yup
