        Don’t forget their plan to allow users to kick out mods. Then imagine how people with monetary interests will conspire to kick out mods that stop them from maximising their profits…

            I hate it too. As much as I enjoy Lemmy, Reddit was my go-to social platform thing for a long time. I hate to see it being mismanaged by an incompetent fool like Spez.

              Same. It’s heartbreaking. But people were/are not ready/able to save it so we have to move on. As sad as it is.

                At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream “It’s not going to get better, folks!” at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.

                  I wonder would one reason be that if “the most” of the community is there, it’s just better to be there with the folks and the content rather than take a leap to a much smaller place and feel small or lonely or something like that…

                  (I haven’t used kbin/lemmy for more than an hour - seeing whether this is a new place to stay)

                    Yes, of course. The network effect is buoying up Reddit as it is and probably will be until a critical mess of users leave it for good. Besides the obvious truth that Lemmy/Kbin are slower and that’s not what Redditors are used to who have learned to expect something new every time they update their frontpage.

                  The issue that I have, both there and here is the amount of ignorance, thickheadedness and sheer lazyness people have when it comes to their opinions. I know the feeling. If someone challenges your opinion, it takes some guts to discuss and maybe even change it. And if people are being dicks, I won’t budge if I‘m 100 times proven wrong, just to make them suffer. But even trying politely gets you jumped by the biggest trolls and bullies. I hate it.

                  So, they can kick rocks imo.

                    I can see where you are coming from. At least partially - my desire to see people abandon Spez’ Reddit is due to me wanting to see it wither and die already. I am sure that it will at some point, but the sooner the better IMO.

          Somehow missed that and well… fuckin yikes. Reddit is incredibly easy to bot, this will get abused in short order.
