U-haul syndrome?
Why go back to a site that harvests your data, forces you to use its shitty app, astroturfs posts, engages in vote manipulation, uses constant ragebait to up engagement, forces constant ads at you, and has a CEO in charge who will lie about an innocent person to make them look bad?
Not to mention the state of the userbase, right now.
No thank you.
My ex-spouse actually did the “tighten all the lids in the house”–thing when he was angry with me.
I had very little issue opening them. He did, though, which is when he was forced to confess what he did.
If they’re allowed to work, they should be allowed to vote.
“I hate thinking!”
Like it’s something to brag about.
You have arms, you coward.
I’ve been wanting to learn German for years now, specifically because “ich_iel” looked really fun.
Guess now is as good of a time as any!
I am a mod of a dedicated niche Discord fanclub server. We run the server well enough that the actual creator of the thing we like & owner/admin of the official server pops in occasionally to say hi, interact, and give updates on events & future releases. Hell, even the mod team from the official server joined our server for a more casual experience.
If I wasn’t passionate about the subject, there’s no way I’d be helping to maintain it out of the “good of my heart”. The work of moderating something with an ultra-large fanbase? If you don’t truly and passionately care about it, forget it! And even if you did, it can still be too much of am endeavor to put up with for free!
To let just any rando moderate a community will lead to its downfall. I’m especially worried when it comes to things like mental health & recovery subs.
I want to be able to trust someone enough to allow them to give me a hug. 🫠
Kill?
I have no love for the guy, but jesus christ.
“The people we are making to feel unsafe & whose rights we are oppressing are showing that they will fight back!!! They are dangerous!!”

I will warn you right now: regardless of their claims to be LGBTQ+ inclusive, they mercilessly harass users and fracture communities. I have left a couple other instances over their federation with them because of the constant harassment for any kind of perceived slight (I was accosted because they thought I had implied something about autistic folks? When in fact I was trying to make myself understood as an autistic person!).
You are making a huge mistake with this decision. But, obviously, as a user, I can only wish you well if this is the direction you choose. You will be making so much more work for yourself by doing this and putting a lot of stress on users who did not sign up for what is to come.
Best of luck.
