Steve Huffman mad about blackout, wants to make it easier to remove moderators.

The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".

Today I made the jump and deleted my last account. I used Reddit one way or another for the last 16 years. It feels weird, but at the same time, I simply couldn't support the platform anymore. Being honest, it hasn't been like the platform I once loved using for a long time. Bots run rampant, the same two to three memes get regurgitated over and over and Spez has just been the idiot to break the camel's back.
I'm grateful for reddit. It was because of it that I found the fediverse.
yep, deleted my 11 year account today
Unless you purged your content before deleting you didn't really do much.
Since they are restoring deleted comments purging your content isn't doing much more. What a scum bag company. Lol
I think I will wait a bit to try and delete mine. Hopefully they get tired of cat and mouse delete game.
Same. I just deleted all my content, but not the account itself since they appear to be rolling back comment deletions. I'll delete my content as many times as I need to before I delete my account fully.
rewrite it first
doesn't help for me they rolled back posts, not that many, but still..
Kinda interesting to hear of that happening but at the end of the day, if they want to roll back my posts good luck to them, it will cost them more effort than it did for me to run a script to edit/delete
Welcome here! I also deleted all my accounts. First felt weird, but now I found Lemmy I don't look back. I don't want to support a business run by such a lunatic.
I'm actually impressed how active this place is
Going to be interesting to see how much more active it gets in the coming weeks
It's going to be a huge flood. We'll see if Ernest can keep this place running under the load
Yeah seriously. First the apps and next I'm sure they'll take old away. At that point I don't know how to use reddit with the fucking ads so better to make the cut now.
I'm grateful for reddit. It was because of them that I found the fediverse. And I too deleted a decade old history and account from reddit
I didn't have an account, but I ended up uninstalling the app I was using. I couldn't support it, even as an "outside' lurker. I'm happy to be here though!
