Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    Why any moderator is still giving that website their time I have no idea. Is it just an addiction at this point? Just leave, the reddit owners actively mock you and despise you.

      Some of us have built real communities over there, full of people we know and like. Those places have lasted years, and it’s like Cheers.

      I do not fault people for wanting to keep that alive. And no, moving hundreds or thousands of people to a new platform isn’t feasible, especially when some features like private communities don’t yet exist.

        you don’t need to move hundreds of thousands of people to a new platform, you just need to move the people you know and like.

        I’m super old, I’ve been around on the internet since the early days. we always did this, we always moved. reddit was a place we moved to once, Now i left that behind because it’s shit, its falling apart and its run by pricks. But it’s okay because you just move to the next thing. the idea of dying on a sinking ship for the addiction of not changing something is really quite new.

        In addition, it’s not like that community is going to vanish if some people move and some don’t. you just don’t have to prop up reddits bloated crappy website by actively supporting it with moderation.
