yep, the entire 22-account (i think) team at r/mildlyinteresting got booted about half an hour or so ago and now the sub has an advert to ask for it in redditrequest

https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65577/Entire-mod-team-on-r-mildlyinteresting-removed-and-locked-out-of

yep, looks like the admins are now overtly taking action and stamping their authoritah

exactly the same way that catman does

the r/modcoord people finally admitted that there's no use sticking around and have finally started saying to leave reddit

audacity. that shit was mature in the 1990s.

lol yeh they came after one of my subs ... that i had made public a few hours ago. i'm going to leave programming in automod that tells people where the sub's new home is

fucking glorious hahahahahahahahha

the only reasons i'm looking at my reddit window currently are to check modmail (one of my subs is currently restricted but i'm accepting requests for member status) or to check r/modcoord and r/Save3rdPartyApps and other protest subs. i made a promise to the subscribers there when i took control of it from being unmoderated, and i'll keep that promise to them until the end of the month, but i'm also going to leave quite a bit to remember me by, namely i'm going to configure automod to at least attempt to get rid of most of the spam as well as make the sub effectively unable to be monetized. would rather fly under the radar until that's in place tho

the r/modcoord subreddit finally admitted that there's no use trying to stay on reddit and are now recommending people migrate, and this was the top place on the list

@XxTriviumxX i'v left automod configured to remove most spam, anything that gets reported more than 5 times, and post a stickied comment onto every post telling people where the mod team has gone. those comments get downvoted to oblivion, and i give absolutely zero fucks whatsoever. my job is done.

lmao the claim that telegram is failing, and i'll admit right here that i don't use it and am not interested in doing so, but it's going stronger than ever now that the loudmouthed chuds that made it popular have gotten bored and the hardcore nerds are all who are left. telegram ain't dying any time soon, i'll say that much.

personally i'm loving the fact that they're laughing at us in the mistaken belief that this can't work and we'll be back there before the end of the month, yet after a bit of lag and a couple memory overruns combined with some utterly HILARIOUS glitches they still don't realise that the system survived its' stress test and is in the process of being upgraded and expanded so that it can take the rest of the load (i'v heard that 20% of traffic has moved over, which is enormous) by the end of next week, we're very easily capable of funding it entirely ourselves, and we know it

right now i'm having difficulty sitting still, waiting in eager anticipation for the horror to cross their faces when they realise that they have nobody left except for unironic trump voters. rekon it might even be the very last piece of entertainment i might get from the website

he'll get axed before the company goes public and they'll put some nameless suit in the role instead. i rekon calling out the entire corporate section might have been better, but then again huffman was one of the three founders so i dunno

what a clusterfuck. after the beehaw bullshit it really looks like "defederation" is going to be the battlecry of the popcorn consumer, huh? well, maybe not so much "battlecry" as "call to the decadence couch" but whatever

so it's more than just r/mildlyinteresting. there's also r/TIHI and r/interestingasfuck and r/shittylifeprotips and r/illegallifeprotips and r/self

looks like the admins have decided to start their campaign in what they seem to believe is a war

here's the kbin account

i disagree, and my counter-proposal is to keep going exactly how we are already with our existing plans. it's not like the reddit admins are going to notice anything different, but the users will.

the ability to dynamically filter search results, if that's at all possible (it's not with lemmy's interface currently)

yes

@ernest your achievements with this piece of software is going to go down in internet history, i hope you know that. you have already written your name into the history books. you deserve congratulations and very sincere thanks.

soooo what you're saying is that you want other people to do unpaid homework for your pleasure and you're not willing to lift a finger to help but would rather just whinge and moan? okay, got it. thanks.

@xuxebiko this is a decision of the entire board of directors

@Gamers_Mate

yikes, fuck that. i mod my subs because nobody else is willing to, not because i have any fucking desire to do so

sock-puppet here. this account is on kbin.social

oh nice, they're landing

i honestly don't give a fuck. no way i'm going back no matter who they put in charge

i'm fucking programming that shit into automod before i fuck outta there while flashing the bird behind me with both hands

personally, as one of the people who has come over from reddit very recently, i don't really see it as being my place to comment on it and at any rate there are many other people saying the exact same as me anyway. screw zuckerberg, he doesn't deserve to share in what other people have built here.

hahaha yeh i certainly have passion about maintaining places for other people to do stuff. it's something that runs in the family, so i suppose i can't help that. also one of the reasons i would like such a document is so that i can link to it on the subreddits that i currently moderate to attempt to convince more people to drop that fucking hellsite lol

you know what tho? that document will have much more value as a historic account than it will as a persuasion tool for exiting moderators. it's the sort of thing that the askhistorians magazine will be answering quesions about in a couple decades.

i have made a point of paying for music that i DJ with for over a decade. bandcamp as a website has been a huge part of that. it's bloody amazing.

not as far as i'm aware. i know about discord servers (that i'm not a member of) where discussions are happening, but as far as i'm aware the majority of planning is happening either in the protest-centric subreddits or in this magazine right here.

i gotta admit, there has been a lot of arrogance and a lack of consideration of consequences by lots of people involved in this on all sides

no, i think of a weird-shaped elephant with ginormous tusks that curl almost into a circle

nope. with the amount of time they've been down there so far and the volume of space inside the thing, they would have exhaled enough CO2 to have all at least lost consciousness if not suffocated

you mean, like, Australia? no, we're not.
