Reddit is removing moderators that protest by taking their communities private -
1573 points, 12 hours ago, 915 comments
Also written up as a story by ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/underride-crashes-nhtsa-d...

Mods that were pushed out by other mods in the past

People with vendettas and power vacuum opportunists

People that want a different narrative on a subreddit

There are tons of people that have other causes and interests than API tooling or company drama

You know, this is all quite ignorable

This one demands I turn off adblocker, is there a difference in facts?
For my account, it restored to the actual original content, not the overwritten.
This was my thought as well. To answer your question, though, I imagine bad faith actors of various flavors will be flocking the site:

1. Corporate marketing departments

2. Unpopular political/religious factions seeking to surreptitiously "move the needle"

3. Those who wanted to become mods before but didn't make the cut for completely valid reasons. Now they have an opportunity, only the quality will decrease as a result

Falcon 9s are still too expensive, especially if you want to armor the spent fuel in case of launch failure.

Disposal of troublesome fission products and actinides, on the other hand, could be much easier. There are seven fission products with troublingly long half lives that would be difficult to retain in geological repositories. Extraction and space disposal of the elements of those isotopes could make sense.

In any case, space disposal can wait until launchers are mature and the technology has stopped improving. We have centuries before spent fuel stops being self-protecting against diversion due to its radioactivity, so stick the stuff in dry casks and wait.
can't wait to see u/BrooklynDadDefiant as the new powermod of the top 500 subs
PERFORMANCE

The app is so slow that it actually has loading screens and scrolls kind of janky sometimes on a 2021 phone.

LAYOUTS

Lots of wasted space as is fashionable these days. Layouts are very spread out and no compact mode is available. Top and bottom bar stick around at all times limiting space for actual content

FONTS

Font is weirdly bold, moderately large, and with lots of extra space as is fashionable these days, neither text nor layouts are customizable. In dark mode text below post titles is light grey making it hard to read.

ADS

Promoted posts with autoplaying videos even if you have gold (paid reddit).

AUTOPLAYING VIDEOS

No way to disable autoplaying videos.

NO MULTIREDDITS

Multireddits are user created mashups of multiple reddits allowing you to view a customized feed of a subsection of reddit here is an example.

This is not exhaustive apps generally have lots of knobs to configure your experience to your liking. Personally I use reddit is fun
> One thing I don't quite understand is how the CEO first claims that only 3% of the user base is using 3rd party apps, and then later claims that "And the opportunity cost of not having those users (3rd part app users) on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant"

People lie. It's really that simple. They give no data to back up their statistics, and we're expected to believe it as truth since they are in a position of power.
As someone who admired the old Google, I totally agree. It's terribly disappointing to see so much potential go to waste under the current leadership.

OpenAI was supposed to be a hedge against Google's monopoly of artificial intelligence. It's clear now that even if Google is sitting on the most powerful AI model on the planet, they have no idea what to do with it. They call it caution, but in fact it's indolence.
Inevitable that this was going to happen. I have no issue with it.

Most mods have an issue because they want to mod from their phones. There are mods like me who use desktop exclusively and don't care about third party apps in the slightest.

More importantly, most users seem to want the subs reopened, and it isn't fair or just to punish the users because the mods can't mod the way they want to anymore.

The mods that actually polled their communities and acted on those results are the only ones I have respect for out of those protesting.
It's just upset nerds on the internet review bombing the app because they're raging at their issue of the week, it's not really more complex than that IMO.

A practicing musician owning multiple instruments, some of which may be used only rarely, is a different situation from a non-musician collecting instruments for their decorative or monetary value.

(Sometimes, collectors who own valuable instruments lend them to accomplished musicians, perhaps even on a long-term basis. I think that's admirable!)

I'm thrilled to watch reddit burn itself down, but of course the mods of big subs were one of the main reasons it was so terrible. If reddit could clone dang a few dozen times, then sure, kick the old mods out and maybe the site could get a handle on itself and be mildly worthwhile. But in reality, whatever jabronis they end up putting in place are not going to be any better than what they had before, and probably even worse. And so the site is still going to be awful, but now with a worse UI.
The CEO of Reddit (and even the management team as a whole) can be fairly treated as a monolithic block. They generally speak with one official voice.

There are thousands of reddit moderators, most of whom have never met each other. You cannot possibly generalize across all of them.

See also: Comments about "black people", "white people", "tech bros", or any other large group of humans.
I got a $400 settlement from Facebook when they did facial recognition in violation of a similar law. IANAL but if / when they try it I will probably get another settlement.
And you think for those people this doesn't hold true?

> Most of them are doing it because they get off on having a tiny bit of power.

Are you willfully ignoring this point, or do you really think that magically it will work out?
First off, nobody made him raise $1.25bn. He traded his autonomy for money.

Secondly, people aren't necessarily mad about him charging for the API. In my experience, most users want Reddit to succeed financially. He could have easily figured out a way to roll this out in a better way.

People are mad he's been caught lying multiple times and has at this point decided to declare war on the thousands of people (the mods) who do free work for him, in order to pit users against the mods.
I voted on a few of those, so these were real, and the outcome was overwhelmingly voting for blackout.

I think the larger issue is now the blackout is still continuing the addicts are needing their fix.
I'll echo what other people have said about the UI. I've used it with a lot of family and friends, likewise there have been a lot of struggles.

I'm also still rectifying against the recent changes to a shared username. As an engineer I understand why they felt the need to do it, but it feels like it's started to bring my personal/casual persona and professional one closer than I'm comfortable with. But, maybe I'm just misunderstanding the interface.
Not what I've seen at all, which is why many subs are reopened with stickied posts saying it's what their communities wanted.
I made a website that uses a stable diffusion model to allow users to make image to image generations. It works by taking the original image and adding noise then produces 3 resulting variations. This allows people to make endless variations that resemble their original picture. The project is currently live on product hunt.

If this seems interesting to you I would really appreciate if you could try it out. Feedback is always welcome.
I hope the irony is not lost on you that you're telling someone to stop telling other people what to say.
There's quite a few, and most of them federate with one another.

What's interesting is that Reddit isn't really a single community - Each individual subreddit has it's own moderators, editorial voice, group of people, etc. They can each move independently.

For example, /r/startrek and the related startrek websites have all moved to
https://startrek.website

This federates with Lemmy, kbin, etc - So if a user posts to startrek.website it shows up everyone else's servers, and people can reply from whatever federated site they use
Sharp Decline in the Number of Foreigners in China Demands Serious Attention
I currently use xBrowserSync and I've had zero issues, it may not be your exact use-case, but it does allow tagging of bookmarks, searching, etc.
This is super frustrating when you see the same in colleagues. Specifically, when upper management starts asking why we should keep person X around, as they were involved in a ton of accomplishments, but don't seem to be the driver for any of them.
I'm sure the truth is a little more cloudy than that. Mods are the ones who can cut off a community (not plain users), no matter what the users think they should do. I bet most users don't give two thoughts either way. Mods in some of the communities I participate did the 48 hour thing, and now have the community set to read-only indefinitely. I don't remember there being voting for former - and certainly not the latter.
See, this is one of many reasons why I'm sad we still use usernames/passwords for so many sites.

I'm much more likely to register for a site if it supports 3rd-party auth instead of managing another password. It's too bad we don't have a properly open way to do that -- no "auth with this address" but instead a fixed hand-coded list of FB, Google, etc.
I'm not sure how meaningful stats are from the 20s to 40s given the forested vs populated area of the country was so massively different. There was simply more forest to burn.

FWIW my great-grandparents cleared their farm in Alberta (Innisfail area) from bush/forest in the 20s. Huge areas that are just wide open heavily settled farm fields now were aspen parkland and forest.

How do you think reddit works, my guy?
IMO, Reddit is valuable. It has the necessary scale in terms of footfall or eyeballs [whatever metric is appropriate]. Where they have failed is to evolve and deliver on customer promises. Not having sufficient mod tools, suboptimal experience on official apps are just few issues that get the majority of limelight. Inability to build enterprise products or tiered data API for businesses and education are also missing, that they could have leveraged.

I don’t blame them. Reddit owns the subreddits, not redditors.

I have no idea why someone would put the time required into moderating a large sub for no money just for Reddit’s benefit in the first place. A Reddit model where the mods share in profits (kind of how YouTube creators do) would be interesting.

But if you’re going to sign up for that, you can’t expect Reddit to just let you tank their site. It was never yours.

I’d do the same thing if I were Reddit, though I guess I’d also not be in this situation if I were them either because I’d just price the API reasonably.
"A gift is a burden" - I feel the same way about it.

I'm almost 40 years old and have barely bought any items of clothing in a decade -- my parents keep gifting me things (some I've finally started giving to Goodwill), but much of my clothes I care for well so it takes many years before they are bad enough to throw out. It's an unpleasant feeling - I feel pain buying more when I have so much, so I haven't been able to buy things I like (or clothing that I feel expresses my style) in years.
Let's face it. If there were any risk of penalties then employers would never have agreed to any permanent hybrid, WFH etc.
I would argue that you are placing misnamed choices. Both are different flavours of Justice:

A) Retributive Justice: Put them in Jail for long time.

B) Rehabilitative Justice: Put them in medical care for an year till their gambling addiction is cured. Then they are free to integrate back into society.

All else being equal, I would absolutely prefer B over A. However, there is also a third option C, which can be combined with either A or B:

C) Restorative Justice: Require them to do a certain type and amount of work for you or for the state to make up for an agreed amount of your lost money and moral damages.

Give me a mix of B and C any day, and throw A down the drain (in the sense of prison purely as punishment, I have nothing against using prison to protect society from certain criminals).
This applies just to Seattle and specifically:

> On its face, the Ordinance sweeps so broadly that it criminalizes innocuous drawings (from a child’s drawing of a mermaid to pro-police messages written by the Seattle Police Foundation) that can hardly be said to constitute 'visual blight' and which would naturally wash away in the next rain storm," Pechman wrote.

So basically the ordinance is poorly written.
Normally it's only possible when the top mod has been inactive for a long time.

The ability to remotely send commands that spoof the accelerator pedal should probably be considered a safety defect. Not just if Jake's Auto Repair can do it, but if Ford Motor Company can do it.
> We need to push positive solutions (nuclear power and carbon capture) that aren't thinly veiled religion and politics.

What if what we really need to do is wonder what we should do?
everyone always says this yet getting a mod to relinquish their position is nearly impossible. Reddit mods desperately want to be mods and will do everything in their power to hold on to it. I know its a stereotype, but for many it is literally the only semblance of power/control they have over their life.

Highly recommended. He even talks about things that never occurred to me, like how he tried to coach his artists into a flow by making sure they had everything from the start, like appropriate shoes!

Wish he’d been my mentor. Read it, if you are a creative, or a creative sympathizer!
You just called the board clueless so maybe they're just not strong willed as far as how to handle this sort of thing. Its hard to say who's pushing for what just from the actions alone.
> I deleted my 8yo account.

Then why even participate in this conversation about Reddit?

This is like me going on a Jeep forum to complain about the Jeep Wrangler I sold 9 years ago.
That is a good point. My understanding is that there are different types of producers, and some lean more technical, while others lean more consultative, and Rubin is falls in the latter camp. Contrast that to other more technical producers like Phil Spector, or Dave Fridmann whos productions have a very distinctive sound.

My observation is that it seems like his skill is helping the artist see their work in a different way, helping them make creative decisions, and just generally offering counsel around how to make the best possible work. This process doesn't manifest in a specific sound, and each production is different based on the needs of the artist.
There are two possibilities that I can see:

1) Spez is right, this is a tempest in a teapot that hasn't (yet) had a big impact on traffic, and won't once they seize control of the rebelling subreddits. A vocal minority cares of the public about the impact on the community, but stakeholders realize the business will be fine.

2) Spez is wrong, and is comfortable misrepresenting the situation to the public at minimum. Maybe he misrepresents it to internal stakeholders too. The situation will appear under control right up until the moment the wheels fly off.

Could be a little of column A, a little of column B.

I'm not sure no. 1 contradicts the post's main point, but it certainly complicates it. There are definitely many people who are rapidly flipping between task to task (my sense is that producers, production assistants, and personal assistants fall into this category).

There are also jobs like focus pullers and various techs who are working in a chaotic, changing environment, but are focused on one (difficult) task. It seems like a large film has people across varying both in how focused they are (few versus many tasks) and how responsive they have to be.
First labor strike, huh?

Ask yourself, who told you that was true? The strikers? Or the guy with the vested interest in breaking the strike and desperate to find anyone -- literally anyone -- to cross the line?
>The one in Orlando, he tried to target another place first but it had too much security. He wasn't targeting an LGBTQ establishment. It was a weak target with no security.

That doesn't excuse the fact that it WAS an LGBTQ establishment and some 40+ people were killed, most of whom were LGBTQ.

The one in Denver was very much a MAGA type and very anti LGBTQ.

>Regardless, LGBTQ have parades annually in almost every city for decades and many other events

Not every city. Every major blue city, in blue states, sure. But definitely not in some of the red states.

Thanks for the clarification, friend! I don’t think I’m an extreme left-winger (new fav term I’m gonna put that on my LinkedIn), and I don’t mind being “out of place” in a society that I think is immoral.

I’m also extremely anti-fascist, anti-monarchist, anti-authoritarian, anti-censorship, anti-discrimination, etc etc etc, and living in a country that embraced one or more of those things wouldn’t change my mind just so I could fit in. I imagine you’re much the same :)

I have a feeling they won't have a hard time finding deranged weirdos who want to mod and will remove anything that could in any way raise an eyebrow of advertisers/payment processors/etc

The worst mods for the community will be the best mods for reddit's bottom line. The power-tripping is payment in itself for those types.
I'm a Schwab customer & I've reached out to them to file a complaint about this new policy.

I've been using KeePassXC and Keepass2Android for many years.
"A user wears a glove-like device with sensors. These sensors collect biosignals from the hand to measure changes in muscle tone, heart rate, and skin conductance. In past research, all of these biosignals have been shown to change during the transition from wakefulness to sleep. When the biosignals signal the onset of sleep, a timer of a few minutes starts. At the end of the timer, an audio recording is played to ask the user for a dream report, bringing the wearer back into wakefulness, but ideally not into full wakefulness. We record everything the user says during their dream report, which could be useful for users to play back later to avoid forgetting a potentially useful idea. Following their dream report, the system then plays an audio cue, reminding the wearer to think of certain words (like "fork" or "rabbit"), in the hopes of integrating the cued topic into their next set of dreams. The user then drifts back to sleep, with the cue in mind. In our laboratory testing, we have found that the cued words reliably entered the hypnagogic dreams of our users. The system continues to track the state (awake or asleep) of the user, repeating the process described above of waking them up after a few minutes of sleep to collect a dream report. This protocol is carried out repeatedly to guide dreams and collect dream reports." https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/sleep-creativity/overview...

> I fully support those that are.

Fully supporting the blackout would mean continuing the blackout on your own subs, would it not? Just say you're "partially" supporting the blackout - like in ways that don't directly effect your direct, current use of the platform. I don't care either way, just be honest with yourself.
> I watched my own partner do it. She doesnt like the app or care for reddit at al

But did she leave a review? I dont mean to diminish your anecdote; I was strictly referring to public stats. Millions of people download and eventually ignore the app, but clearly enough are downloading it and having positive feelings about it. Thats how we got to this situation.

> has abandoned its once core userbase in favour of cheap eyeballs

I agree. It really sucks, but it is happening.
