IAmA mods no longer willing to work for reddit for free

Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we'd be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.

Would you be interested in running a new version of iAMA on Lemmy?

No, thank you. I'm done with putting in volunteer effort for these kinds of things. I transitioned to mostly lurking on reddit, and I'm likely to remain that way here as well. Modding requires too much of a time and effort commitment for something that I'll have nothing to show for depending on the whim of others.

Completely understandable. Thanks for the mod work you previously did. It's a shame reddit happily took your good will, time and effort only to basically kick you in the nuts as reward.

I can be the first guest. I have many leather bound books and drive a Dodge Stratus.
