MODERATORS
They have a new identity that they keep reinforcing with every new decision. They've lost their previous identity and become just another web service looking to get the most money possible out of the users they can still attract.
They've already lost their identity. The parties over, spez has turned it into corporate garbage no better than Instagram
Who cares. IT WILL BE MAKING PROFITS!
XD :D
"Risks" assumes it hasn't happened yet, the truth is this happened many years ago.
Reddit has changed more than once. But this is very different. Your comment struck me as cynically dishonest. Almost dismissive of what has brought me and many people to even hear about lemmy let alone discover it even exists.
Nothing like this has ever happened to reddit before. Full stop. To act otherwise shows both ignorance and also insensitivity to the millions of people who feel like they just got evicted from their portal to the rest of whats happening in the world.
Because i can still use reddit if i use it differently, that barrier of usability shows what a vast number of people who use reddit want. Perhaps it also shows how invasive our digital habits have skewed or affected our physical world behaviours.
And perhaps my bias is showing, i have been on reddit for longer than some, if not many, reddit users have been alive.
It was a place i learned a lot about the world around me and now have to try to figure out how to live without it. And im old now. To quote the simpsons "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
I think unfamiliar and confusing is more accuarate than weird and scary but it seems a strangely prohetic quote.
Fun fact. I can remember watching the simpsons on a black and white 12" CRT TV (KVOS TV 12)
Im 42
In summary this did NOT happen years ago your truth does not match my reality

It lost its identity a long time ago.
Whatever they've lost, they still retain their hard-earned reputation as being a cesspit of trolls and bigots.
