I hope it all burns down.
Curious to know if the comments are more “What’s the time commitment…expectations…etc?” Or “Bahahaha fuk /u/spez and fuk reddit lolz”
Yeah. Could you offer to do it for 100$/hour And if they pick you send bills to reddit?
Imagine they’re not reading comments and just pick a top level comment at random. And now you’re a mod because you commented something like “fuck u/spez - told you so”
More replies than I thought there would be. Are those volunteers?
People that have so little going on in life that moderating a community on reddit is fun
I would have loved to be a mod of a reddit community when I was 16 years old
That is SAD.
No, this is an Arby’s
This is a Wendy’s, sir
I find it especially concerning that subreddits dedicated to mental health like r/Anxietyhelp or r/therapy are just thrown into the mix to have some randoms be mods. They could easily come with bad intentions and even well intentioned individuals could inadvertently cause a lot of harm.The job of managing any community dedicated to helping those suffering from mental health issues is by no means an easy task just anyone can do. A lot of knowledge about mental health and certain subtle/not easily recognizable problems (i.e. covert incitement of suicide) is required. This is not something any responsible admin would just give away to just about anyone like this.
Did the mods leave on their own or were they thrown out after the blackout?
From what I gathered, a lot of mods were simply kicked out by the admins. Some others left voluntarily. Then some stayed and complied with reddit, since they didn’t want to leave their community behind, as it’s a passionate hobby for them or they see some kind of importance in their subs and also feel responisble, e.g., subs about some (rare) diseases.
