This may be the place to talk about alternatives to reddit since discourse about that is banned there. So far I've heard only about Lemmy. Are there others sites redditors reading this could be redirected to?
It's interesting seeing this situation play out across different subreddits. There seems to be 2 kinds of subreddits - the "category" kind (simple, descriptive name) and the "community" kind (have a defined purpose, could exist under a whole range of names) The moderators of all of them see themselves as somehow owning the community, but I think that's less clear to the users. To most users, r/Celebrities is a catego…
reddit has some of the worst mods I’ve ever seen in any capacity. And they’re frequently in control of massive subreddits. I remember when hate speech was just discovered as a reason to ban people, and mods of major subreddits would find ways to use that either out of protest or complete incompetence to ban people. For example, banning users for disagreeing with a controversial decision because “I hate your take, thu…

You could not be more wrong. The work is mostly invisible to end users.
Not really. Sort by new and take a look yourself. Nonsense posts get downvoted before a moderator has to do anything. People who sort by top or whatever never see it.
Is there even value in 2023 in having a "subreddit" called /r/Celebrities ? (Or funny, pics, sports, all ... )
It feels like there should be a natural "cap" to a sub's "TAM" or a 100% conversion from catgeory to community subreddits, to limit the blast radius of spam, scams, etc and create clearer rules of engagement for the good faith participants.
Or maybe /r/Celebrities could just be a no-comment curation of top posts of actual celebrity subreddits, with a paid Redditor at the top.
Anyway just weird to me.

>I am glad that they are getting removed for the good of the community. And you trust the replacements, that in your words are "mostly power tripping and/or want to control the conversation?". Unless you yourself are taking over and trust yourself to not grow to be what you hate? This sounds more like a revolving door in your eyes than cleaning out the trash. why bother if you haven't addressed the core problem?
Just the fact that the new mods don't think they have the right to keep the entire community hostage makes them better than the replaced ones, yes. Although it would be better not to have any mods at all.

> Edit 2: I’ll also add, that I was never going to re-open the sub because I knew Reddit wasn’t going to yield. Thus, I was prepared for the outcome. I did hope to string them along for a bit longer and waste resources, but you can’t win them all.
I have no clue what moderates really do and I have not seen any difference yet on reddit.
Community subreddits are better off as cozy internet forums anyways, they don't need Reddit and vice versa.
Why can't mods be completely replaced by AI or bots? I wonder if a GPT-enabled AI mod would be better at serving mods functions. At the very least, it makes sense for the Reddit suits to try. Community subreddits are better off as cozy internet forums anyways, they don't need Reddit and vice versa.
