For those that don’t want to go to reddit: https://i.imgur.com/1Rk2FqQ.jpeg

You have to use the imgur app to look at that link, unfortunately (on mobile). They make it super low res if you try to look at it in a web browser.

        There are sadly a few scabs down towards the bottom. A couple of mega-mods who only care about how many subreddits they have under their belts.

          imgur makes you open it in their app otherwise it’s blurry, unfortunately. If you have another image hosting site you recommend, I don’t mind uploading it again

            Pixelfed is the federated image hosting service. I wouldn’t spam it full of stuff unless you’re hosting your own instance, but it’s good for small things like this that don’t necessarily need to have permanent availability.

              Kbin does image-hosting when you attach an image to a comment, and I assume that Lemmy does too. I don’t know if either has size restrictions (though if they don’t, I assume that they’re going to have to have some level of constraints to avoid abuse).

            Apps used to be good and helped the web. Now it’s just an advertising nightmare for us. I know this is drastic for just this comment but the Web was a big part of my life growing up, building a career in it and meeting loads of great people but recently with everything going on I feel like we’ve lost it to the corporations very very quickly.

            I’m definitely going to de corporate as much as possibly can.

    Slow motion suicide.

    This is almost as funny as when Drew Curtis killed Fark.com, or when Digg killed themselves.

    They all forgot that they only thing keeping them successful was that users liked them better than the alternatives.

        Fark was the first aggregator of its kind. The headlines were hilarious and the curated content was really great.

        Unfortunately Drew’s ego killed the place. Digg arrived and was allowing a true democracy of content. Instead of Fark empowering its users the same way, they continued to control the content from the top. So, people went to where THEY had the power.

          So Drew didn’t really kill Fark, he just didn’t change it to be something that wasn’t Fark and lost users to people that wanted something different.

          I don’t think that’s what Spez is doing to Reddit at all. Spez is actively trying to make Reddit into a cookie cutter social media platform, which it is (was) not.

    Even the people that haven’t left Reddit seem seem to be pretty hostile toward Reddit. It’s like why are you still here? You can make more of a statement by leaving.

    BTW, thanks for the Reddit free link, don’t want to even give them my traffic.

      Kind of bummed that the r/LifeProTips mod team seems to have submitted a real request to take over. Just kind of disappointed in the team over there.

    I nominate ChatGPT to moderate every one of their shitty subs. Obligatory fuck you spez.

    I deleted all my comments and years old accounts a month ago and haven’t been back since. Reddit is dead to me, just like Digg before.

    Yeah they’re fucked. New moderation will never work if the users don’t support it. And judging from the comments, they definitely don’t support it.

      I want to be a mod because I just fucking love bootlicking. Can’t get enough of that sweet sweet leather. I don’t have any mod experience, but I once smeared my own shit on the wall of a bathroom in a truck stop in kentucky, if that helps.

      Those comments are gold.

      NGL I considered applying and then just not using reddit like I’m doing now if I was selected but as the mod of a small niche subreddit (which I’m not actually moderating, but also never needed to) I figured they would probably look at it and see the stickied post with the link to the Lemmy community I made and I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the effort to try that troll.

    Reading the mod volunteer replies makes me thankful I don’t work in an HR office having to review résumés.
