Comment on How social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit

• GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I modded multiple million user subs, and ended up replacing all of my posts with the same text before never logging in again. Wonder if I’ve been removed from any of them yet.

  Side note, my life has improved so much after not doing free work for reddit. The things I’d see everyday… looking back I’d never do it again.

    I learned the “Don’t be a mod for free” lesson back in the IRC days. It’s not worth the mental strain, even if it’s for a community you love.

    Smart man, I will hate you less in the future for being a fucking mod.

  I went from multiple comments per day and posts almost every day to a couple comments a week and I think I’ve made one post since the protests

  That place got hella toxic since the protests

    The official Reddit app pushes “recommended” stuff into your feed constantly, and the posts and comments both seem to be even more pervasively negative than before the 3rd party apps shut down. Scrolling on Reddit is even worse for your mental health and outward perspective than it used to be.

      I refuse to use the reddit app since they killed my favorite reddit app

      And browsing on a mobile browser has gotten even worse recently as well so I’m only using it on my desktop

      It’s gotten so bad over there

  I wish that was true for askhistorians. For some reason, there’s a lot of people with a huge amount of knowledge and potential that are attached at the hip to corporate platforms.

  I tried to wipe my comments but I during the protest I couldn’t access my user page, I could manually navigate to each of my comments via the posts but that would have been an impossible task. Soon after submitting a service ticket I was permabanned for a comment I’d made 2 years earlier… and even more bizarrely they message me a few weeks later saying they’d taken action against an account I’d reported for CP 4 years ago

  I didn’t wipe my old account, but I have not been back since everything went down. I’ve looked at it occasionally but contributed nothing. It seems pretty shit atm.
