Really by the mods or admins posing as such?

[–] ilikegirlarmpits@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

This is the real question.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14dls1i/more_dialog_with_umodcodeofconduct/joqxb1x/

It got removed because you can’t insult your fellow protesters. It sows division in a movement and that’s the last thing we need right now.

We need to be working together. If experienced mods think the new mods aren’t making good decisions, it’s their job to educate and motivate them.

Not make fun of them.

Besides admins are already working on union busting (for lack of a better term in this context).

The whole point of Mod Coord is coordination.

I guess some "moderators from r/ModCoord" are Virgin Mods then...

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

"Virgin mods" aka paid admin shills.

pinned post on modcoord right now: "alternative forms of protest"
select one of these approved methods of protest to voice your dissent in a meaningful way! :)

That's for stuff like r/Ukraine which is important to keep people up to date on real life events.

They could still close down and post a link to lemmy like r/piracy did - people would still have a way to get their news

If all the unpaid moderators quit and get replaced by paid moderators - that would be a win for workers rights, yeah?

People joke about being addicted to reddit but imagine the mods. They are probably the most addicted/invested out of everyone to want to provide such services for from. Super proud of the mods who didn't crack but not surprised that so many either just protested for show or buckled under slight pressure.

Of note, old.reddit doesn't display the "this post has been removed" message while new.reddit does; in old the post appears to still be up and normal.

This is fairly standard, though, whether or not that message shows in old.reddit has always been wildly inconsistent.

[–] ENEMYGUNSHIP@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

yep I used old, because on new I don't see the image, only title + post removed message.

some of the comments are pretty good too, at least the ones with positive karma

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The only way to tell if a post was mod removed on old reddit when direct linked, if there is no mod removal message (itself a cowardly indicator), is if the thumbnail shown turns blank and shows the "snoo with ?". Reddit appears to purge thumbnails from removed posts.

Darn I really want freefolk in here

[–] riseupagainstthem@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

they're still going. 8 days private now

[–] Pilirin@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

fucking glorious hahahahahahahahha

Like .. why though? (Why remove it I mean to ask)

baddit is scrd lol

[–] LordBelphegor@vlemmy.net 5 points 2 years ago

I was the lone mod of a small sub. I did made the sub go private for 48 hrs. After that i made a poll asking whether i should close the sub indefinitely. 75% of the members said no. So then i asked people to step up to be mods so i can leave and i did just that after assigning 2 mods.

[–] brianshatchet@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

A bunch of big subs just got purged of all moderators

[–] Talaraine@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Epic post, brother. Your watch has ended.

I mean its not really effective to use a corporation's platform to coordinate a protest against the same corporation's policies. Kinda reminds me of an article that said that some Apple Employees are using Android devices due to fear of Apple spying on iPhones if they used to coordinate a unionization attempt.
