After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment.
I'm leaving for two reasons:
-
Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote)
-
April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again.
Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor
EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you
You're viewing a single thread.
If you have it in you, please recreate your previous subreddit here in the fediverse. There's less tools, but also far less users, and plenty of room to make tools.
A ton of niche communities didn't make it over here during the "exodus". Any little bit helps.
Shameless plug: /c/Sekiro, /c/Bloodborne
Doing my part :)
Gotta actually link things if you want people to find them, my friend! 😉
I'm always too lazy to link properly. Thanks for helping out :D
We need auto conversion ao that c/communityname actually links to the community if it exists on the home sub of the user (for example as a suggestion)
Yes please
