MODERATORS
 

That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

Good. I hope Reddit crashes and burns or turns even more into a cesspool than it is today so it gets abandoned by shareholders and dies.

Im a proponent of just hammering their servers with mass DDOS. Follow black cats example and keep compromising and ransoming their data. And dont stop.

True, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to become mods, even with no pay and awful administration.

Should have thought about that before you started treating them like serfs.

It's like they forgot what happened to Digg. They have forgotten the face of their father.

Reddit is too big to fail, they have achieved critical mass. Keep in mind facebook is still around despite being a reviled company, and instagram certainly hasn't had a mass migration off of the platform either.

At the end of the day Lemmy isn't a replacement to reddit yet. It depends entirely upon it getting traction which thus far still hasn't occurred - we are not at critical mass yet. I hope it happens but there are many reasons why this site could fail even after reddit's admin blunders. Too many people are apathetic to the changes and not all of them are lurkers who do not post or comment.

Today you can't just stop using reddit either, especially for google searches. Too much content is ONLY on reddit. It's a huge problem. We really need a wikipedia style reddit where it's not for profit and still moderated for content.
