I feel like having people vote on moderators would be an improvement but how can you complain about the lack of democracy when you are literally Reddit.

Be the change and don't back down

Part of the issue is that we hardly have enough people to sustain one random community, let alone several semi-independent ones. That barrier alone will turn others away and the cycle of not having enough souls will repeat itself

They would rather you all be gone to be replaced with casuals who can be more profitable

fair

Yeah what they hell were those guys doing for years

true but then being told to move to a different "instance" like beehaw is going to have people scratching their heads

It's honestly crazy that these random ass mods had the power to actually influence the views of millions

yeah that post is probably the wrong post to have pinned because it's definitely a weird welcome message

Do we draft an intro doc right now?

I think donations can be sustainable considering wikipedia has done it for over a decade. People genuinely care about this fediverse project and donating a few dollars a month will probably keep this place growing and healthy. I also think we are too quick to predict the end of reddit. Millions will still use it while this place will remain almost unheard of to the average person for at least the next few years.

wish more would go out indefinitely, this is great
