After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment.
I'm leaving for two reasons:
-
Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote)
-
April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again.
Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor
EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you
I'm not the one with 'Reddit' in my username.
Yeah, Lemmy is shit, enjoy.
What does that have to do with anything? At least I'm not on reddit, or on lemmy whining about reddit.
Literally made that name the day I wandered away from Reddit, the day they killed 3rd party apps. And I didn't go back! Youre like gamers who whine but just keep preordering, youre ruining it for the rest of us.
Whoosh.
That's OP replying. It's not a whooosh, he is dead serious lmao
Deep breath Skippy, it’s just a website
Right, first i'm just plain wrong, then it's not that im wrong it's that i'm taking it too seriously. On a post of a guy crying about losing his little throne. Lmao
The ppl defending this guy and downvoting are taking what I said much more seriously than I am. They should chill out, it's just a website.
They should chill out, but it's you who is bringing all this intensity to the table and defining yourself by your past back there at Reddit.
It's an opinion like any other. Lemmy isnt your echo chamber.
My comment don't violate the rules, unlike the replies
Yeah, but chill down your crusade
Please define crusade? Do you know what crusade means? It's a thread, get over yourself. (And maybe open a dictionary)
