Is there a list of subs that moved/duplicated the sub to Lemmy/Kbin/similar and run by the same mods?

If not, let us know in the comments!

        No, but that is not what they said, they said they were forced to reopen. That happened in such a way: they sent a message to the main mod and told him to reopen or be replaced. He didn‘t respond within an hour, so they removed him as main mod and made some other mod who was willing to play ball the main mod.

        Since there is always some sucker to be found on Reddit who enjoys taking orders and licking boots, no sub can really defend against this move by Reddit admins. Which is probably why some other mods decided to maliciously comply instead.

        Me, I think anyone with some dignity would go out like the r/piracy mod did, don‘t respond and get removed and rebuild elsewhere.

            Imagine being so douchey that, despite relying on free content and free moderation, you still whine about not being profitable being the users’ fault and then you demand from moderators that they are basically available 24/7 to take your call. This is not just a dumpster fire, this is throwing canisters of gasoline into a dumpster fire.

          Yeah, pretty much. To not reopen you have to have absolute confidence that no one on the mod team will succumb to the temptation to steal ownership of the sub. The fact that some subs have fallen prey to this (like /r/piracy) is why mods have been wringing their hands and reopening subs left and right.

          Honestly this shit is early IRC drama all over again; kick all the other ops from the channel and it belongs to you, provided those people aren’t registered in the ChanServ. /u/spez is the ChanServ, and he’s letting everyone know he’s willing to look the other way.

            Don’t worry even if any of your mods on the mod team don’t want to play ball they can just remove all the mods and install their own. They don’t need to be a current mod to be given ownership.

            I’ve got to think that Reddit is going to get a lot less and lower quality free moderator activity after this, reducing the quality of the site.

          Yeah. Also I remember when loveforlandlords went from a shitpost sub for making memes about landlords from the perspective of the landlords to a cringe sub about non-jokingly hating on landlords because some degenerate couldn’t fathom the existence of such a sub, even tho there’s a sub for serious hating on landlords already. He became the main mod, kicked everybody else and the others made loveforlandchads instead

          Just like this, Reddit kicked DB0 and he made the Lemmy server

          • LostCause

            Interesting, but I can‘t find sympathy for landlordlovers in myself, I filtered that out immediately when I discovered it. Bad enough I have to work so much and pay almost half of my income to one who just sits around and does nothing, I don’t need to be mocked for it online too.

            Anyway, the great thing about the fediverse is you can make this community as an instance too if you need it and then other instances who dislike that can defederate and we can hopefully all live in peace and harmony (at least online).

              The thing is, loveforlandlords wasn’t about actually loving landlords. It was stuff like “Oh single mother? Time to increase rent”, satire from the perspective of the landlord. Then the new mod came in and he was like “Nah fuck this” and turned it into landlordlove 2 electric boogaloo

              Loveforlandlords was like boozecruisers, satirising something a lot of people dislike. Now loveforlandchads is the good one and landlords is a dogshit sub

                I see, I misunderstood it then, but to be fair some subs say they are satire and then the people who actually believe this are there too, like with the_donald which I thought was funny satire in the beginning, until a point when it really wasn‘t.

          An hour? Bloody hell, what if they had wanted to but had been asleep or something?

          • @[email protected]

            A requirement to answer a message within the hour 24/7 seems very strict for a paid job, never mind a volunteer moderator doing this stuff for free.

          • LostCause
            3•2 years ago

            Yeah I had it a little bit wrong and someone else corrected it—the mod said he hadn‘t even seen it before he was removed, someone else alerted him to what had happened after the fact.

        Can’t force people to use Reddit but they can make mods open subs or else they get booted and replaced by good little lap dogs. That’s why DB0 opened up on Lemmy. But I’ll never know why they force opened PIRACY lol

        • @[email protected]
          1•2 years ago

          Forced to open. Will kill third-party apps which includes mod tools. I wonder what will be the malicious compliance here.

        • @[email protected]

          It must in some way be included in their profitability plan. Either the data of the users there or ads to those eyes are worth money to them

      • JustSomePerson

        Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.

            More reason to leave Reddit. My 17yr Reddit account is now dormant.

            • @[email protected]
              12•2 years ago

              You could also use the account to damage their value for when they go public lol; the more comments you’ve made the better. You’ll lose your account of course, so do it instead of deleting it.

              Copied from there:

              • [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist’s gen. Take off the line saying “ki|či”, and click “Generate”. You’ll get some random babble like “Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra”, copy it somewhere.
              • [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
              • [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
              • Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
              • [Optional] Check the box saying “prepare local backup of items”, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
              • Uncheck “remove comments”. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
              • [Optional] uncheck “remove posts”. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
              • Check “Edit comments / self posts”. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist’s gen there. Then click “process”.
              • Just wait!
              • [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

              You could also redirect lemmy over here when you get the chance, and go upvote when other people do the same

              At least for the time being, this is what I’m doing

            The term is “private company.” A dictatorship is a form of government.

    I think the mods here need to start removing off-topic posts. Otherwise people see them and keep perpetuating the trend…

    This is a community specifically for the lemmy.world instance; not reddit. Please post content like this on lemmy.world/c/reddit. These off-topic posts are strangling out relevant posts here.

    There’s also lemmy.world/c/general for just general discussion.

      Just take it slow. Migrations tend to happen in waves, and we’ve got several more ahead of us even in the most ideal scenario for a Reddit exodus. The next pivot point will be at the end of the month when the bulk of account deletions will hit the server. From there it depends on peer pressure, how the quality of the site continues to decline, and how many more times /u/spez throws tantrums in the public media.

      If you truly want to take your community with you, the best thing you can do is go cold turkey on Reddit yourself, regardless of whether you choose to self-delete or not. Deleting is better because it reduces temptation. From there, anyone who cares about timely updates from you will have to content themselves with waiting for others to repost, or they will need to follow you.

        You’ll have to wait for them to get tired of reddit’s antics, in the meantime all we can do is create and make content for lemmy and kbin so that more people join us

        Moderators are deeply invested in staying put. Sunk costs are incredibly difficult not to chase. The fact that any moved is kind of incredible.

      • masterspace
        1•2 years ago

        I’m guessing kbin doesn’t have the same level of mod tools as reddit yet

        • Kichae
          4•2 years ago

          Not yet. Most popular Fediverse platforms are a little light in mod tools. The space is dominated by Mastodon, which has an infamously stubborn “dictator for life” lead dev who has not taken moderation beyond server bans and defederation. The tools have leaned toward individual responsibility, which when you consider that the lead dev was the admin of the largest instance with zero mods for years makes a lot of sense.

          Most other platforms gaining traction are still trying to reach feature parity with Mastodon in some regard, as development had either slowed due to lack of community support and is just picking up steam again, or have suffered from similar “dictator” issues.

          We really need things like temp bans (which I think are available on lemmy, at least at then server level), higher granularity restrictions on posting, shadow bans, the ability to lock comment chains (and not just entire posts), and maybe something like comment disemvoweling to act as a middle ground between leaving a comment or post up and removing it entirely.

    I started the Lemmy.ml PS5 community

    I have onboarded one of the mods from r/PS5 to the mod team, and received an endorsement from them as an Alternate Community. They haven’t shut down though.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/14a5dsy/_/

    Note: my community source page should be https://lemmy.ml/c/ps5 but I’m currently afflicted with the remote moderator bug, so it is https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] until the next back end update rolls out. This unfortunately means we don’t show up on browse.feddit.de or on lemmyverse.net for the time being.
