Another article that's overly sympathetic to the mods. Reddit has been bad for years, not now just suddenly with the API changes when the bulk of you finally realized. The mods were horrible and HUGE part of the problem, to the point I think the mods (and other users) being so upset is hilarious. The API changes were a bad move, but they were just the latest in a years long string of nothing BUT bad moves. You guys are way late to the party and congratulating yourselves for being so punctual. Now the standard moving on from your ex joke and my comment is finished.
Let's be honest, if it wasn't for mods Reddit would be 4chan. I'm also not sure Lemmy solves your problem as it has basically the same system.
I don't agree at all. Mods are good at self-aggrandizing.....but I remember reddit before it was chock full o power mods and it wasn't really like that. Also I've been a mod and there wasn't that much objectionable content that needed to be removed. Seems like being a mod these days is setting up a bot, doing nothing, then complaining about how hard your "job" is. Oh, also making sure no posts that disagree with your personal politics are allowed to stay up.
