You wouldn’t download a car more RAM would you?

Same, pittsburgh.

Between lemmy.world and sync having issues I almost went on reddit. Then I remembered this is the fediverse, jerboa and lemm.ee exist and I’m back and more active than ever.

One minute our content (through the API) is “very valuable” and “needs to be monetized”. The next we’re just “noise”.

Mostly I think it started as a show of how much reddit relies on the free labor while giving reddit an out, but as time goes on I’m inclined to believe it’s also because mods know that if they “abandon” the subreddit, the admins will just open the subreddit up to new moderators a la r/redditrequest

There are already subs that have had users request being put on as mod despite barely becoming inactive.

That’s pretty much been the entire conservative movement’s MO for 30 years now.
