I assume someone’s deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit’s woes front and center.

    The world through spez’s dead eyes:

    Spez is the King, appointed by God (the board). The mods are landed gentry, who rule small fiefdoms (subreddits) at the pleasure of the King. The King doesn’t pay them, but as long as they don’t upset the King they’re allowed to abuse the commoners (arbitrary bans, etc) and extract profit from them (sell out to companies that want control over the moderation of subreddits.)

    wonder how he’d feel if some rich fucks decided to destroy his hobbies

    To be fair, the jailbait sub is long gone.
