Maybe mods will keep more subreddits down indefinitely then.

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Hopefully... there's another post on /c/lemmyworld stating that /r/adviceanimals forcibly removed the top moderator.

I'm guessing that they will replace all of the mod teams and forcibly re-open the subreddits.

[–] iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Called it.
Still he's going to end up with a site with lesser quality and mods that will have a harder time to moderate until the supposed new tools actually work (if they actually work).

Honestly? I think 4chan could have a field day trolling in there like they love to do.

Inb4 not your personal army...

But yeah. I feel like spez has earned the wrath of /b, and that's a lotta wrath

[–] iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, I agree they are unpredictable, I don't count on it but I don't doubt it would be an easy target

Oh I am sure they’re going to end up putting back a large number of subs. It’s going to happen. The place will fill up with trash if there aren’t good dedicated mods taking care of things but I’m sure the admins are going to force the major subs to reopen.

[–] hypnotoad@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

I think taking over subs will lead to a chain reaction of other subs blacking out again in protest ad nauseum. Good luck getting enough moderators to fill the void. He'll end up with a smaller number of generic large subs full of mediocre content for people he can more easily monetize; exactly what he wants.

Doubt that will go as well as they're expecting it to.

[–] IowaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck doing that for 8000 subs

that's about how many people work at the Disney World theme parks in FL.

[–] haelusnovak@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I guess I understand why subreddits cannot be deleted altogether, but BOY it'd be nice to see. Or at least delete all the content before leaving... πŸ‘€

"Hey guys I know we pissed off a lot of our user base, but don't worry they'll come crawling back despite our assholery!"

[–] StrangeWorrier@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best thing that can happen is development on Lemmy or other alternatives actually makes progress.

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed... I wish I knew Rust!

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I see you are a person of great culture as well! I miss the days of watching Datsyuk and Zetterberg... those were far better days for the Wings.

[–] thesilencenoise@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but I also feel like the general trend is upward right now. I've been excited to watch the kids play and see who's coming up next. So it's not all bad... But no, none of the kids are Datsyukian.

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely! The sun is shining, and so is Moritz!

Seider, Larkin, Raymond, Rasmussen (he took a huge step forward last season!), Edvinsson, Kasper, Walman... there's a lot to like on the team right now. Hopefully the playoff drought ends next year!

[–] chika@vlemmy.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, he's probably correct. I think a lot of people are just going to cave and download the official app eventually, if they haven't already.

[–] haelusnovak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and it's helpful to remember that I don't want the content of the lazy, even if I do hate that the company will still get the $$$.

[–] Cyder@lemmy.one 19 points 1 year ago

It's his self-assuredness that bothers me most. If his attitude towards his community (or product rather) are this bad pre-IPO just wait until after and they have to keep announcing revenue growth to Wallstreet every quarter.

[–] speedycat2014@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Like the world's largest kidney stone, hopefully.

[–] Rain3h 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he falls over and hurts his knee.

[–] zerosignal@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope he steps on some legos while barefoot.

[–] dimspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I hope he steps on a plug...

...In the UK

[–] BobKillsNinjas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I accidently ended up on Reddit twice today through Google searches, I'm now adding -Site:Reddit.com to all my searches.

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could also consider using uBlacklist to hide those results.

Add these lines to your blocklist to remove all Reddit results:

*://*.reddit.com/*
*://reddit.com/*
[–] MattyXarope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Could also just look at the cached version of the page, that's what I've been doing on Google

[–] timkmz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yea but theres so much info on reddit that isnt on lemmy yet. We're so far a pretty small community which is nice. But I think that using reddit to find info on specific topics is fine, but I wont create another account nor will I browse there.

The best revenge is living well.
