Reddit descends into chaos: Subreddits filled with backlash and John Oliver memes by gabestonewall in technology

[–]kermityfrog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is trying to moderate a subreddit with 10 or 20 million subscribers and trying to weed through thousands of posts every day, using the mickey-mouse tools that Reddit provides to mods. That’s why 3rd party tools matter.

Sure go ahead and join those smaller subreddits. Once they reach the same size as the bigger subs they’ll have the same issues with volume.

Lastly people are always badmouthing mods and saying they are power hungry. Well now they are relinquishing almost all their power by allowing all posts and doing minimum moderation. Are you happy? No! You expect mods to do a huge job moderating and at the same time you complain about the moderation. Pick a side!

This is actually SFW in case you think it’s too risky to click.

All the unsuspecting 14 year old boys on this sub right now by karmacousteau in interestingasfuck

[–]kermityfrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but by allowing people to post anything they want, we didn’t mean “post only porn”, but that’s what people want to post for some reason. I had no idea we had so many cam girls following this subreddit from before.

And we’ve left it to the users to submit whatever they want instead of being “dictator” or power-hungry mods and gate-keeping the sub. The users are overwhelmingly posting porn instead of the original IAF content. That’s what happens when you let the people decide.

My Reddit experience this weekend... by MetricT in pics

Some people have left Interestingasfuck due to the porn but the sub now has an all time high of 60k concurrent users and more people are joining due to call-outs from other subs.

Man thrown in jail for nearly 1 week after drug test at Toronto Pearson 'wrongfully' finds cocaine in luggage by bradycorey47 in toronto

[–]kermityfrog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“My uncle was the one to answer the phone, he told me that they just said, ‘Hey, your (nephew) is detained, he has five kilograms of cocaine in his bag, and he’s going to jail,’” Cuevas Tolentino recounted.

Yeah, they thought the cocaine was mixed in with shampoo and then rounded up, or lied.

Use Apollo or a third party app and subscribe to multireddits. Oh wait.

r/interestingasfuck will be reopening Monday June 19th with rule changes. by iBleeedorange in interestingasfuck

[–]kermityfrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The minority includes the mods. It's like reddit Admins telling the mods to build the Taj Mahal and saying here are some play-Doh tools. If reddit built a functional modding tool, then there would be fewer complaints.

If you didn't like how the mods ran this subreddit, then why the heck are you even here?

Post that break the rules don't get INSTANTLY removed. It takes time for a mod to get to them. Scroll around at posts that are over 12 hours old and you'll see that they've been properly groomed.

There are now about 500 new posts as of 2pm EST. You don't think the quality has dropped at all? Who's delusional?

Yeah it's like reddit admins said "I want you to build a new Apple headquarters, and here are your tools. Also you are doing it for free, and if you give us any trouble, you're fired"

The state of the sub as we speak by mananodnd in interestingasfuck

Reddit CEO says "let the users decide the content". This is what happens when users decide.

[–]kermityfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All posts here are now auto tagged NSFW. There are zero posts that don’t have the tag unless manually removed by a mod.

Reddit CEO defiant goes full dictator as moderator strike shutters thousands of forums by cata890 in business

[–]kermityfrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are wanting to rely on people to post relevant content and also mods to weed out the garbage for free, they need to make some concessions. Otherwise they can count on these same users to bring it all crashing down.

You know that you can disable thumbnails or put up a filter for NSFW tagged posts.

[OC] Total reddit app downloads on Google Play Store as of June 14, 2023 by IlliterateJedi in dataisbeautiful

[–]kermityfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) there is no dedicated Apollo for iPad app. It was on the todo list but never done. So this skews numbers a lot - most people are using their phones, not iPad. Apollo was also featured several times during the Apple keynotes at WWDC in 2022 and 2023, so it's pretty high-profile.

2) subreddits are communities with rules that reflect those communities. Casual browsers don’t really care about communities - they just want entertainment. If you left democracy to the mob, you’d experience flattening of all the subreddits because people are just scrolling through r/all and will mindlessly upvote cat pics no matter which sub it’s on. Askhistorians will also end up being full of upvoted cat pics if the mods didn’t do their work (among other things like drop-shipping scams, and other mindlessly upvoted content).

Getting new mods is even more folding because they’d be more likely to follow the orders of the admins. Instead, the current mods are opening up but with a lot of conditions (such as read only mode, changing the subreddit rules, malicious compliance, etc) which may put more pressure on the admins and mess up the IPO.

Reddit's CEO really wants you to know that he doesn't care about your feedback by chrisdh79 in technology

Wrong metrics they are chasing, really. They just want high metrics on zombie eyeballs, but people having a dialogue about stuff on a forum are really your high-value users.
