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.

Maybe I'm already out of touch but who cares what reddit is doing?

It's dead to me.

I agree but on the other hand the schadenfreude is delicious

I wish I could have some less of it, at the moment though 90% of the posts on the fediverse are Reddit this, and Reddit that.

Post some other stuff please.

Please look at the community you are in right now :)

Switch to All and then sort by New Comments. You'll it's like All->New and you'll get a lot of interesting stuff.

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

I would imagine everyone subscribed to !reddit does.

Problem is that I'm browsing the All filter until I find the right communities for me, so people like me inadvertently see these unwanted Reddit topic posts too 😕

It's always a good idea to take a look at the community label to understand the context though

I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat as you as well. I know I am. I just meant to point out that a decent number of people do care considering how many people are subbed to !reddit.

I'll admit I'm at least somewhat interested though, else I would have kept scrolling.

It's like seeking drama about your Ex when you find out they're dating an uglier person
