It's not the full-time job of each member.
I wonder what the income from the positions are though - IE would they make minimum wage if that was the only position they had?

I'd rather not say. I happen to like it existing.
In other words, it's a place so filled with hate and racism that you're ashamed to admit being a part of.
“Cancel culture” has become absolutely mainstream, having now reached all the way into the NYT OpEd pages. One only has to look at the myriad firings and resignations of the last 7 days to understand that there is a real threat to diverse mindsets and the open marketplace of ideas which we once strived to support.

I don't think they're killing it. Anecdotally, all my friends prefer the app and the redesign to the old web client. I suspect this anecdata is supported by Reddit's metrics, otherwise they wouldn't be pushing so hard for it (barring some other long term goal) Not that I like the changes. I much prefer the old version.
If Reddit's metrics confirmed that people preferred the app, they wouldn't have to push so hard for it.
I am sorry for him. I know as a fact that he’s brilliant and fully deserves the position, but given the circumstances (Ohanian resigning and calling for someone black to replace him) he will always have to live with people having the reasonable doubt that he didn’t arrive there for merit alone.
I actually think reddit has fallen in to the opposite trap here. Because of the increased scrutiny that people of colour get when being put in these roles we see this trend that only massively over-qualified PoC are being put in these roles. As a result you end up in a situation where you aim for an increase in diversity but in reality you end up with a handful of people who are rotated through all the possible posit…
Dear Reddit, for the love of Mike .. PLEASE treat reddit as a web-first platform. You are killing the golden goose by trying to force people toward the app - by gradually removing features and usability from the mobile web site and constantly reminding people they "should" use the app. I don't want reddit as an 'app', I want reddit to be readable/scrollable on mobile and web without any form of coercion.
Moreover, if I relent and click "View on app" while on mobile, it directs me to the App Store instead of opening the app to the thread I was attempting to read. At least handoff correctly if you're going to force me to use your stupid app.

One, you can't use race, gender, etc unless it's relevant to the job, but here it could be seen as being relevant to the job. Two, a board director position is not a job, and so it's not covered by this law.
I’m sure they’ll argue whatever they can. AB5 makes it more difficult to not be an employee in California. And there are far more non-discrimination laws than “employee.”

>The payment processor I use to pay my ISP and registrar like...my bank account? Even if it's your bank account, you're still using a payment processor. Even if that's your bank, they can also decide not to do business with you. >To date I have never heard of anyone having their Internet cut off because their ISP did not like their political views. I am pretty sure neonazis are welcome to use all ISPs, from Comcast t…
What happened to Stormfront was due to them being involved in egging on mass shootings. You are free to say whatever you want but you cannot incite violence. Is that not the system working? They were not banned for being racists; they were banned for being killers.
Promotion of hatred is not egging on mass shootings. Inciting violence is indeed illegal, but they were not taken offline due to that.
>They were not banned for being racists; they were banned for being killers.
Incorrect. They were not taken offline due to a order/warrant/etc. They were taken offline because it was politically expedient for their services providers to.
Please influence the board to stop caving into censorship and let Reddit return to its free thinking roots. As ever expansive “hate speech” policies take root, the website is being co-opted to reflect just one worldview - that of the progressive left. This is dangerous and unwelcoming.
It would be great if conservative and progressive right wing could help to not let those communities devolve into prejudice, racism and eugenics. It is a problem when an ideology attracts the worst in human kind, as much as I hate the authoritarian left.
One subreddit I've seen which seems to allow decent political discussion regardless of side has come under attack because they don't censor certain positions. The attacks are done by very blatant new accounts spamming extremely offensive content in an attempt to get the sub flagged. I've had the displeasure of encountering such posts on multiple occasions before mods were able to remove them. It would not be difficult for those posting such content to determine what is the most offensive thing that won't be removed and then focus on posting that content until either mods have to start censoring it or the subreddit becomes overran with that specific content. In the former case they just repeat until they are happy with the new standards on what are allowed. In the latter case the reputation changes and begins to attract people who are primarily interested in the flooding content, effectively ending the sub as being a place of open discussion. The mods are handling it for now, but that is likely to only be for as long as the flood of the targeted attack doesn't overwhelm them.

I have quite an intricate system build up to get the most quality out of reddit as poossible —it’s still quite bad, but it’s better. I have been thinking of making a blog post or soemthing about it. - I have a multireddit with select magic the gathering subs - I have a multireddit with select tech subs - I have a multireddit with general high quality subs - My “all” feed has HUNDREDS of subs filtered off. This is a l…
Depending on what exactly you want, nitter.net is a fairly good twitter client, although you need to use an rss reader to follow particular accounts.
