MODERATORS
I wonder how long it takes until admins take over the communities
I have a feeling all of the default subs will be taken over pretty quickly. The small subs will be forgotten about.
I don't think the subs should go private, but rather they should just get straight-up abandoned. The admins will have a much harder time dealing with all the unmoderated content that will inevitably show up, and it will look way worse to advertisers.
I think anarchychess is planning exactly that. They're private today (Sunday) and going unmoderated on Monday.
The chaos that's gonna ahppen is gonna be on the same level as Y2K and the miiverse last 30 minutes
That just give Reddit an out for taking over subs, saying they are unmoderated.
If they go private then Reddit would need to forcibly take over the subs without a proper reason for doing it.
Hm, I like this idea -- the content is what values Reddit.
That's what I expect to happen as well. Nothing stops them from kicking out the current mods / admins, replacing them with new mods willing to take over and continue as before (or even use AI moderation tools to minimize the efforts).
Who though? Who wants to mod a community that big, for a company that will throw mods under the bus, for a company that is burning bridges with developers instead of finding reasonable compensation, for a company that that is so bad at supporting mods mods have to rely on third parties to support (which they are also burning bridges with), for a company that is "not profitable", for a company that is laying people off, not hiring.
AI moderation? No way they will "meet increasing regulatory compliance" with that.
What a fucking shitshow. There are just no words for how big of a hole Reddit has dug itself.
Plenty of shills and ass kissers willing to do the deed. The roles will get filled quickly by them
gotdamn... that was an indictment. well said.
