In the end, the good mods will leave Reddit one way or another. The admins can put as many bad mods as they want in charge of subs and it's not going to help.

Mod of /r/homeautomation and /r/homeimprovement here. Yeah we are all done. The subreddits are staying private until we are removed forcefully or reddit changes their stance on the API. Chances are it will be the former. It's really sad but we just cannot realistically moderate without third-party apps. And with the way spez has been acting it's likely more mod tools/bots will be on the chopping block making our "jobs" many times harder. It's hard, it's sucks, I've been on reddit for some 12 years now (under various accounts). We love our communities but just can't operate this way. :(

hi there. i'm sorry this has happened and their greedy actions have impacted your communities. i hope you find a home here on kbin or another alt and can grow your community again. keep up the good fight. <3

[-] 0110010001100010@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Thank you. It's been a rough 10 days or so. I don't know that I have it in me to pick up the pieces and do it again. At least not right now. I know much of the team feels the same way. For now I've found a home here at least as a regular user, lol.

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

thats perfectly understandable. either way, welcome!

[-] 0110010001100010@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks, really appreciate it! Still learning my way around but so far feel comfortable here.

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

that's great, be sure to check out all the dope userscripts and userstyles available 👀

[-] catagris@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

As a final middle finger why not a single sticky post linking people to a kbin magazine for each?

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

perhaps even have an automod respond with the link to every post and comment before dipping out (or rather, being forced out)

[-] EnglishMobster@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Do you have an alternative magazine/community here or on Lemmy? I followed both of those subs closely on Reddit.

I'm a mod on /r/Disneyland and our mod team set something up here on Kbin ( @Disneyland; if you're on Lemmy go to the search bar and search https://kbin.social/m/Disneyland).

We've been promoting it in our "we're private" message but it hasn't really gotten much activity yet.

I've been hoping to see a giant list of communities that have moved their mod teams to other services somewhere, but I've just seen some isolated comments here and there.

[-] 0110010001100010@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

We do not and at this time just can't do it again. Maybe in time that sentiment will change. I am very glad you enjoyed those subs though, we put a lot of hard work into them over the years. It's nice every once in a while to hear appreciation rather than obscenities and arguments. :)

So how would @'ing communities on other instances work? I presume the Fediverse syntax of @userorgroup@instance?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's !community@instance @username@instance is for pinging a user.

[-] discodoubloon@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

That sucks. /r/homeimprovement was starting to get really good too.

[-] Tyrannosauralisk@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thanks for your effort!

My one interaction with you or one of your colleagues was when somebody went on a big political rant at me after I described an engineer as "him" versus "they" (which was sloppy, but also unrelated to what I was explaining). You deleted their comment, then they deleted their account. I was amused.

[-] 0110010001100010@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

We do appreciate the kudos, I'll relay to the team on Discord! We take (probably now took) a REALLY hard-line against political BS regardless of party. We even use(d) automod to filter out political parties, big name politicians, etc. It really is a thankless job and it was common to get called names daily in modmail. We love the communities though and wanted to see them grow. Such a shame that one entitled CEO is willing to burn it to the ground for the sake of profit.

[-] Irrelevant_Elephant@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I just bought my first house a year ago and shortly after found /r/homeimprovement and loved how helpful it was. Is there any comparable community here yet? Both of those subs are huge misses in my list of communities.

[-] SlowNPC@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I used to comment occasionally on r/home improvement. Thanks for operating it. Sorry they broke it. Welcome home.

[-] RyanHakurei@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

The good mods are almost universally already gone, what was left until this point was powermods who didn't care about any of the communities they moderated to begin with.

[-] niktemadur@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

The GallowBoobs of the site.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The mrbabymen cometh...

[-] RyanHakurei@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Lol I actually got one of my Reddit accounts banned for reporting his content for spam, the reason was "false reporting" which I am sure is the only instance that TOS was cited for a ban.

[-] assbutt@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hey same lol

Fuck that dude

This might just be me, but arbitrary CAPSLOCK on words and Title Case on threads that aren't a link to a news article are clickbait patterns that I'd prefer to not see on kbin.

As for the object of the thread itself... I am thoroughly unsurprised. I have never seen IranianGenius involved in any positive manner with /r/tumblr whereas TayTay was singlehandedly responsible for making /r/tumblr into slightly less of a garbage heap. Removing the one mod that was actually improving things is perfectly in line with Reddit's recent behavior.

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

my bad, i just wanted to make sure people actually read it lol, annoying as it is, it is EFFECTIVE haha

[-] PrimordialSoup@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

pathetic really. not shocking. however it just makes me more determined each time i see/hear a report to stay away from reddit.

[-] DaGuys470@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

That seals it then. Deleting my account tomorrow.

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

don't yet. They are restoring deleted posts, rewrite with a script and then sit for a while to see what they do.

Until then we know how to make alts, we can just start submitting random nsfw to all the subs they have forced reopened.

They will have to start making subs approved content only.

[-] BrotherCod@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I think it's time we bring back surprise goatse! A new surprise for your inbox every day.

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

plus we can just go on a downvote binge, while upvoting shit that shouldn't be there

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

use redact to overwrite comments with random bullshit or a protest msg

[-] RyanHakurei@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Allegedly they're reverting/restoring comments.

[-] DaGuys470@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's the plan

[-] Spacecowboy@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

At this point,maybe we'll get lucky and it will be a container site for the toxic morons that will be left

[-] pilvlp@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Crazy they think they're doing the right thing when it incentivizes users to leave when they pull this shit.

[-] abff08f4813c@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

This is terrible. Similar thing happened to me - the only positive spin is that, unlike me, at least TayTay was given the reason.

[-] Spacecowboy@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago
