Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

  It’s super easy, the main problem is no one will move. I still moderate a couple on reddit, but it was hard enough getting people even there, certainly no one will come here.

    I feel like internet users have become so lazy and stubborn. I’m pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo

      Companies have done this on purpose. They all want you to stay in their walled garden, their “ecosystem” of various products. So they make it easy to get into and get connected to people and things, and then make it hard to leave because you’re “invested.”

      In some respects it was somewhat easier to get them to be on multiple platforms instead of moving. Think of the original messenger proliferation, where sometimes people would be on IRC, XMPP, AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, or etc. so much so that you had software like Pidgin and Trillian to help consolidate server/chat rooms and friends lists to more easily chat with all your contacts.

      Even with Ventrilo, I remember being open to also switching to Mumble or vice versa if there was some hiccup with either.

      Gee, I sure wonder why…

      Eh, not everyone is fit to be a moderator.

      I don’t feel I have the time (this issue is made worse by my timezone not aligning up with the most active hours for communities), nor do I have the maturity and level-headedness to be a fair and impartial moderator.

      There have always been people like that, it’s just more noticeable now because the numbers are larger.

      People still use MySpace and Digg, and there are people on Bluesky, Mastodon, here, etc.

        It’s in its afterlife phase right now. Much of the comment sections on any given subreddit are full of newbies using colloquialisms from other platforms. e.g. Users call subreddits “groups” which I think originates from Facebook. Or users trying to “bump” posts. There’s a lot of signs that the core userbases are gone.
