Can’t have my tasty coffee becoming bitter due to the massive Reddit logo contaminating the drink, you know.
Reddit mods get a badge, a coffee mug and a blanket. The blanket is now getting destroyed by my cats.
I wonder where I can get a Lemmy mug made…
Ironically most people would of been fine doing the unpaid mod labor if reddit did not try to take tools way from them. All spez had to do was not do anything to screw over the unpaid mods but he failed.
Because it was never for the “privately owned company” that they were doing the work, it was for the communities. Reddit was just a site where people could go to talk about their favorite subjects or discuss news posted by the users, reddit the company never did anything to improve the site and often made it worse instead.
If reddit is going to make claim that the communities aren’t community-run and are instead owned and regulated by reddit, then mods deserve actual wages and employee status.
