Could they not replace the mods? In the end, don’t they own the subreddits? Who owns the intellectual property?

[–] stavigoodbye@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In a lot of ways we do. If I choose to delete my profile, there goes a ton of posts from one sub.

You have to manually delete your content, they don't delete themselves. Or use a script

Under EU GDPL they would have to erase everything upon request if they don't want to get fined into oblivion.

Good to know. If it comes to that I will. Anyone who spends any amount of time adding to a community though is like killing your own creation. I did this for us.

But they already sucked their sweet datasauce out of it when you posted it

They'd have to find people as enthusiastic. Quality would likely drop.

[–] Krka@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Quality would absolutely drop. Even if whoever replaced the mods was just as enthusiastic, losing that much institutional knowledge/inertia would be devastating for a while.

They'd also need to find a ridiculous amount of people (~28,000 mods according to Reddark?). Or have fewer people be insanely overworked, either way you're right; quality will drop.

I used Redact earlier for an old account, worked great
