Had a brief look at r/WorldNews yesterday. Every comment was blatantly disgusting Islamaphobia that I couldn’t believe hadn’t been deleted yet. I don’t ever remember it being that bad over there
Comment on Reddit updates look after rough 6 months and ahead of reported IPO
Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 months agoA friend of mine was talking about how they had blatant homophobia sent their way on an LGBT subreddit, which was upvoted. Went to check r/ApolloApp and someone critical of Christian was being blatantly and casually homophobic.
Honestly, I’m glad I left that shithole.

Same, I remember r/worldnews not swinging that way whatsoever.

They did kick out a lot of mods during the protests and moderation has gone to utter shit since the api change
CluckN@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah new moderation didn’t stand a chance because the good mod tools were all 3rd party.
Mr_nutter_butter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So many good mod bots aswell all gone
Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 months ago
Yeah. I read an article (also on Ars Technica funnily enough) about how some moderators aren’t equipped to deal with things. I believe they singled out r/canning because of the potential for food poisoning, but r/ender3 had a sympathetic “mod” who only joined that subreddit as a moderator just to fuck with Reddit corporate when they were replacing the mods.
Reddit, predictably, did not respond, so whoever wrote that article did their job right.
