Comment on and they wonder why reddit stock is tanking
GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 6 days agoIt’s definitely an alternative thing to volunteer your time on. I’m not throwing shade at any decent mods, but they are far and few between and it doesn’t take much imagination to see the sort of people and the sort of personalities that are going to be attracted to such a thing. Like who the fuck normal, is going to volunteer their time, for a billion dollar corporation? No one normal is the answer, Alex.

I’m convinced there has to be a way to make moderation crowdsourced where you can build up groups of curators whose upvotes, downvotes, reports, and blocks can be used as a form of moderation.

Might be better, but holy shit do people on social media brigade, which is where I’m not sure that idea would work so well. Some topics just heat people up, and it turns into basically a runaway reaction. I’ve seen folks say like you know this sucks, but maybe we should think about x and y, and the brigade just jumps all over them like a bunch of zombies.
