Comment on Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.

I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.

But now, since early December I’m done-done.

My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.

Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.

Lol, first I hear about paid subreddits (I am not much on reddit since they ended 3rd party apps). This might actually be the end of reddit, if they are really that dumb.

  Here’s an article about the plan for paid sub-reddits, on arstechnica. It was reported about a month ago

    Haha, the chat system? That will be a shitshow. Oh my, thank you dessalines@lemmy.ml for creating an alternative. :)

As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting but thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.

  I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.
  
  But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?
  
  My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.

    I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it’s less fun.

  I find it hard to leave reddit all together just because of the historical knowledge and the actual presence of niche communities. I wish people wouldnt flip out about choosing a server when signing up for lemmy. They act like you have to have a computer science degree to make the switch.
