    Good luck to them. I dislike Reddit as much as the next guy, but this whole thing doesn’t stand a chance. You do volunteer work nobody even asked you to do and then demand money? How does that make any sense at all?

      About as much sense as building a company off free volunteer labor and then acting like you own those volunteers and the money they helped you earn

      It doesn’t take a ton of effort to make a website and an app, Lemmy is already hockey-sticking off entirely volunteer everything.

      They are probably not gonna get backpay, but what this could achieve is to force reddit’s hand in legally recognizing mod’s work from that point on and giving the mods more standing than they have now.
      At the very worst, it sends a message and helps to continue bringing to light reddit’s shitty practices.
