Who cares
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
Tbh Aaron, if you stay you might still end up being biased. It’s only human. I’d be okay with you passing the mantle onto a new guy who can carry the weight, while sticking around as one of us plebs.
All the best for your bright future, fellow nerd.
I feel like “leave ASAP” is an overreaction, like in r/Shortcuts the moderators still build Shortcuts themselves along with participating in the discussion thread but without the mod flair while also using the mod flair if they’ve to take a disciplinary action including stating a rule in the comments.
The decision should be based upon if it’s taking up your time between a paid job and voluntary work unless you’re or being forced to abuse your position or power.
Stay!
Option 3: No MacRumor, 9to5apple, and other spam blogs. No conflict of interests and the forum will have higher SNR.
I think if you disclose it when needed (ie if you were to post a MacRumors article) and just don't act like a heel it's a complete non-issue.
edit: and congrats on the new job!
Terrible place you're headed to. Have 2nd thoughts.
Most people here or any subreddit don’t care who the moderators are. 99.9% won’t notice you ever left.
Macrumors has “researchers”? lol
You’re one of the best contributors to this community so I hope you stay involved regardless of your moderation position.
lol. As if this sub needed more Macrumours or 9to5 posts
Nobody cares. We don’t know you or care. Any mod who supported the protest despite the community not supporting it should lose their sub though.
Just do the megathreads, it’s not that big if a deal.
