Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon." (kbin.social)

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

This was a few days back, but I think it's important to bring up for the moment. This is just completely convincing me that those running Reddit are entirely out of touch with their moderators and the well-being of their users. Does this make you want to leave or just rub you the wrong way? Have you already left for good or are you still open to using the platform now that more subreddits are reopening?

I've personally deleted the Reddit related apps off my phone and replaced them with the webapp for Kbin for now by adding the site to my home screen, until an app is developed and released.

/r/place is expected to come back on the 23rd of June, which is Reddit's 18th anniversary.

You'll note that this is also conveniently a week before the API changes go into effect, so I'm planning to, as spez would put it, make some more noise by putting a message right on the middle of the canvas highlighting their bad decision. Time will tell if I'm successful in this endeavor. So far, I have dragged a couple of hundred people and some change into this mess of a plan and The Swarm is going to be backing us up as well, in the manner you'd expect from the group behind the appearance of the black void in the previous iterations of /r/place.

Afterward, I'm torching my account.

I can try to get the green lattice in on that too, we've gotta make some noise if r/place comes back

Are you guys talking about gangs? Because it sounds like you're talking about gangs... 'The Green Lattice'

[–] artillect@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha I wish we were that cool, the Green Lattice is just a community that formed in r/place in 2017. We build a green and black grid pattern, hence "Green Lattice".

The Swarm (or as it's more commonly known, The Void) exists pretty much solely to destroy stuff, their goal is to cover everything in black.
