Hey all, /r/snackexchange is under new management. A rundown of what's happened and where things go from here. I'll tr

This is hilarious tbh. Please don’t get me wrong, I really feel for the mods who put so much time and energy into the sub (all subs for that matter). It sucks.
But god, watching reddit implode feels so fucking good. Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron, and it’s nice to see his web site fall from grace so publicly.
1I can't wait to see their IPO fail dismally, at least I hope so.

0If you elect me as head mod I promise to only ban people who I don't like (I hate everyone)
-1I'm afraid to say I'm a mod on FB lol, but it's a UK US based weather group that I'm very passionate about with 92k members.
Basically as a mod, never argue with a member, never show a member up to the rest of the group, there are better ways to deal with things other than flat out banning someone. Being a mod should be keeping things under control so the group remains a good place to go. That's all.
Our main problem is the fake accounts from the Military pilots wanting to speak to the lovely ladies or make you a killing with bitcoin lol.

Oof. I read a decent amount of comments, definitely getting shill/snitch/power seeking vibes, add to that the admins...what a shit show
0That dude is pathetic.
0It's like when they replace a character with a worse version in a show.

This is why their moderators' best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it'll go to hell fast. It's their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren't.
0Sadly people are quite dedicated to doing work for free for some reason
-1Well, it's not a huge mystery or anything...people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.
From the outside looking in, I can see it being "working for free", but by that measure wouldn't any instance of you contributing anything that benefits others to be "working for free"?
Half of the tech support knowledge I have comes from people "working for free".
I think the sad part about Reddit is that there's still a lot of people that want to hold on to what they've built up, and Reddit is banking on that to force them to change.
