Funny how the platform still runs on their unpaid labor, isn’t it? This has a lot more to do with purging anyone that disagrees with them. They somehow can simultaneously denigrate unpaid labor and benefit from it in 2025. A shocking feat of cognitive dissonance.

    Funny how the platform still runs on their unpaid labor, isn’t it?

    Something I learned during the Vaxxhappened protest is just how many moderators are perfectly content to do these “jobs”. I found it honestly very sad how many of these what are ostensibly “community leaders” will happily acquiescence to the demands desires of the company as long as they can continue to do the job.

    Don’t get me wrong I have a lot of sympathy for many of the moderators there who care deeply about their communities and providing a welcoming experience and feel stuck to Reddit, but until more of them grow a spine and idk, move to Lemmy or something like the top r/startrek and r/daystrominstaitute mods did (not me to be clear) then nothing of substance will change there. There is a seeming endless supply of people willing to clean up Reddit for free.
