Showing up as a blank page for me. Fascinating. https://i.imgur.com/NzFX5Cz.png

When did you go through the process? Reddit recently updated its top mod removal process (recently as in 5 days ago) and dramatically weakened requirements for removing top mods. M…

Reddit did not "force transfer" the community, the top moderator was convinced to hand it over. Reddit, for all its faults, goes to great lengths to give its moderators latitude an…

I cannot, as it was invite only. (Edit: As lrae said) The context is more around how communities should be able to naturally transition as opposed to only doing so during event-dri…

There's nothing to indicate they wanted to leave. They are still a mod there (without full perms). They handed over the subreddit under a promise that was immediately broken by the…

There is no mechanism to enable mods to edit user posts. If what you're saying is correct, it would be quite the controversy. Use https://camas.unddit.com/ to look at the original …

Yup, @dang is paid. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23810452

Unbelievable behavior from SD. The subreddit is currently an unmoderated mess, illustrating they have no clue how to run the community. I am unsurprised at Discord's behavior, hand…

The profit motive is being blamed here for optimizing for engagement. But how do you assess progress when you remove all desire to monetize? I run r/WallStreetBets and "quality" is…

I'm not sure if this counts compared to the other posts here, but for me, for many years, r/wallstreetbets. I think this actually falls in line with most subreddits. You build or s…

> The GME centered group left WSB because there was a new mod who didn't fit the WSB philosophy. There were some personal hypothesis about her(?). They even alleged I believe that …

I agree, I think there's definitely been a large cultural shift when it comes to retail investing. Lots of people these days want to find the one play that gets them to retirement.…

How so? It's a black box algorithm owned by Reddit Admins. Moderators only have the ability to set the threshold, with very vague terms (low, moderate, high, or something similar) …

That's a good point. The situation definitely has it's pros and cons. For example, in the voice chats, its great when users follow up with one another on their trades, or know each…

2020 was marked by a 10x increase in comment volume, largely coming from both incredible, pandemic driven, market volatility as well as stimulus checks and stay at home orders. It …

Nearly 7 years now, a casual before then. (For context, the sub just celebrated its 10th birthday last week)

What do you want to know? I think r/wallstreetbets is still a fantastic place and more or less true to its purpose of finding interesting and novel trades. Much of the discussion h…

I don't think most moderators don't know this option exists. It's located on a page that you only visit once to set up the subreddit, or to make large subreddit changes. (On old re…

The site itself leans left, I wouldn't call that manipulation, simply people voting on content they like. However, you are onto something. Almost every single post on r/MurderedByA…

Great writeup. A subreddit getting co-opted by the masses to change its intentions is a story as old as reddit. See my username for how I know that to be true. Hopefully more subre…

You should check it out again. We recently restricted memes to Friday afternoon to Sunday morning and the context is almost all text now.

Well yes, users do get banned for blatant self promotion. WSB is not, and has never been, the place to promote your art, especially when you're explicitly trying to raise awareness…

Jaime Rogozinski is a grifter who repeatedly abused community trust to profit off WSB. This is why he was removed by Reddit admins in January 2020, a full year before the GameStop …
