Permaban one out of every ten revolting mods to teach them all a lesson. Surely they will then appreciate the sublime might of the Admins

Reddit got way better about it but there are so many cases of them doing nothing about rogue/hijacking/dead moderators on subreddits it's hilarious they're citing it now. It's one of the many complaints people who do mod have about the admins & tools available to them. Sometimes you get a good mod who will do what they can (reddit's mod powers are based on recency, if you weren't aware) from the lowest position to keep a sub running but sometimes you get 3 splinter reddits.

Lol. So, as someone said earlier, while this whole lil shindig might not immediately kill the site, it can certainly lead to brain drain , and talent loss. I mean, the overlap of a venn diagram of people that can moderate even half somewhat decent, and the people that would be willing to do it for free can NOT be very big.

"Shut up or we'll stop letting you give us free labor" isn't really a great threat anyway, even if the people doing it generally feel it's worth doing for free.

It was super common in subreddits which had some kind of standard for (top-level) comments, like requiring citations from academic sources. Redditors of course couldn't help but post pun chains and authoritatively written hot takes in response to questions in /r/askhistorians.

Honestly I’d be surprised if this doesn’t just lead to mods losing the ability to make a sub private if it’s above a certain follower size

"You have a duty to your community to make us money by working for us for free." Jesus Christ that is loving bleak, Winston Smith level reality distortion field poo poo right there. "Stop making us be such greedy loving dickholes, if you'd just get back to work, for free, there would be more money for us." Not sure this is the slam dunk persuasive argument envisioned by its author.

i predict they'll replace the mods easily because it's a site with millions of users so there will be plenty of people happy to mod that don't care about the API changes or whatever the site will then carry on as normal. maybe a minor quality hit but again it's a site with millions of users and at least 90% of them don't care about any of this and just want to look at cats or argue about politics. in a few weeks no one will be even talking about this except for the inevitable new subreddits that are dedicated to the topic.

But yeah Reddit can pretty easily ride this out I think. They’ll lose a bunch of mods and maybe some middling subs they never bother to force reopen and things will go on.

Ask MySpace. And Facebook the company hasn’t bought up a half dozen other social media companies because they think Facebook.com will be dominant forever. And Reddit has basically no integration into anything else like Facebook does to keep it relevant. A competitor that just plain did things better could drink their milkshake a lot faster than I think anyone realizes.

Recent interview from yesterday. The CEO genuinely thinks third-party apps deprive the platform of revenue directly somehow. https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/1669525672258338816 Here's some more important quotes from the article, bold parts are the CEO quote:I want to stop you for a second there. So you’re saying that Apollo, RIF, Sync, they don’t add value to Reddit?

I can handle not going on Reddit anymore though I do use it when I'm bored, or did- I doubt I will now, and have been off it since the strike. What I find less clear is if I/we can also handle Google being completely loving useless if you don't search Reddit for answers, that poo poo sucks. It's been like 3 days and I've already had several situations where Reddit had the only google answer...

I think I'm going to knock something up in Laravel, that just feeds directly from things I'm interested in. Something similar to http://www.jimmyr.com/ (has no SSL certificate installed, so you may not be able to see it) where it's just aggregating the same stuff but takes the clicks away from reddit and entirely removes the community aspect (read: the uppity, 12-or-40-year-old-looking manbabies, the bots and the right-wing plankton). Might be a good opportunity to take a crash-course in machine learning. quote:What I find less clear is if I/we can also handle Google being completely loving useless if you don't search Reddit for answers, that poo poo sucks.

Could Apollo / RIF pay Reddit's new API prices by carrying similar numbers of ads as reddit, and then passing along that revenue? My guess is no, since I see a fair number of ads on RIF and the creator said that they make nowhere near Reddit's asking price.
