This is not correct. I am a reddit mod, and none of our tools have been reinstated or are functional. And it’s not for lack of trying. I’m wondering how we’re “landed gentry” if we do all of this for the love of the topics we moderate—hours of work a week (sometimes hours a day) unpaid. Simply to have organized,…

It’s not the worst analogy if you’re just talking about power on Reddit, but it’s not the right one to use when the issue is literal money.

Landed gentry generally got money from what they did.

nothing says Democracy like a Authoritarian rolling-heads and installing his own lackys.

I haven’t seen anything that said they’ve acquiesced on anything. Is there a source on that? Also, the native Reddit app has many long standing flaws besides just the moderation tools.

Did I step on a nerve? Bothered by a moment of honesty? Social media is how my nieces and nephews find out about all the Republican bullshit being pulled in Florida, Texas and other third world locations.

Our children are experiencing all manner of harms via overexposure to digital platforms

Ah yes, let’s side with Jeff Bezos, Amazon and the corporate fascists, because some people dared to challenge the Powers That Be.

What do you mean by “their” data? It isn’t their data. It’s the users data. Reddit doesn’t actually create any content and is entirely dependent on the goodwill of its users to function. 

I mean, have you opened up a Gizmodo or AV Club article from 2012? None of those classic commenters are here anymore and a lowly article back then got 5x the number of total comments as in 2023.

Reddit is trying to charge an amount that is over 70 times the industry standard cost of API calls. It’s clearly an astronomically unreasonable amount that is the problem.

This wasn’t about letting 3rd party devs “do whatever they want.” Christian Selig, the dev who created Apollo, admitted that paying for API was something that he knew would eventually have to happen. It was Reddit’s outrageous pricing and accelerated implementation of the charges that wouldn’t allow him to adjust…

That reads like something a ChatBot or a teenager would lift from somewhere else when asked to describe the LC.

Me either. I scroll past ads like its nothing and didn’t have any issues.

I saw the CEOs AMA from last week.

Phew, that was close, you almost ran out of things to get upset about.

I don’t think anybody wants to live next to someone running a DIY junkyard.  Enough people around that to complain for sure, even if you can’t see it from the road.

I am. In Florida v Riley in 1989 the Supreme Court said:

Yeah I’m sure you know more than the actual stakeholders here, to the point where you’re calling them liars.

Stop with the maxed out carry on’s. Yes I know the airline would charge you to check it (Airlines please allow one checked bag for FREE!) but taking 3wks worth of clothes on board is freakin’ annoying and slows the whole boarding process down.
