I modded a few subreddits but left it all behind
I mean, looking at trends of any company and the fact that Reddit is about to IPO it’s only a matter of time before they ban the ability for community members to mod subreddits.
Who else is going to do it though?
✨ AI ✨
Oh, I’d love to see that happen.
We need more clusterfucks caused by AI, until people shut the fuck up about it.
Crypto was more of a fiction than AI and it’s somehow still around. How many times can the same ponzi scheme collapse?
There are valid uses for cryptocurrency though, most notably buying illicit substances.
Eh, even then it’s more traceable than people think. If you’re average Joe, you’re fine. But I wouldn’t want to be a dealer or anything.

Why would anyone do free work for a corporation to profit off of?
I moderated a mid sized sub for a while. Around 100k users. It was a hobby I was into and I figured may as well moderate because I was spending a lot of time on the sub anyways. It also let me put together some community events which were always fun. Once it stopped being fun and started feeling like a job, I left. I never really thought about it as doing free work for reddit and more helping community building for a hobby I had. People do it for all sorts of reasons. The “power mods” are really the issue.
I understand back when Reddit was small and before they killed all their good will, but I don’t see why anyone would continue to be a mod now that Reddit has made it clear that they want to monetize their work.

Its a good thing the Moderators famously fumbled their one attempt at protesting for anything significant to reddit
They should’ve just stopped moderating in mass. If Reddit wants to replace them that’s fine, they’ll just need to replace all of them at once.
stopped moderating en* masse*
