Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.
Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.
He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.
When the subreddits went private I visited reddit three times, then a couple of times the next day, then once the following day. I haven’t visited today and honestly I’m not missing it too much. If I get the urge to visit I just come here and it acts as my reddit nicotine patch.
Yeah I’ve been the same, and when I’ve browsed the comments there is so much aggro. Makes me wonder if it’s always been like that and I was just blind to it.
Overall, the experience here is 1000 times better than Reddit
I just wish it wasn’t always the first few results when you look up information on certain topics. Especially for really niche issues since it’s often the only place with answers right now. That’s basically that only time I visit reddit at this point.
Removing relay from my home screen has helped a lot. I’ve accidentally gone to old reddit a couple times and didn’t click on any links but most times I catch myself and come here instead.
