minus-squaresimple@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up87·2 years agoThey can’t just re-open subreddits and expect it to go over smoothly. These subs will collapse without moderators.
minus-squareGaryPonderosa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up37·2 years agoSure they can. They’ll outsource moderation to Bangladesh, pay mods like $0.20 a day, and double the number of ads shown.
minus-squareMint@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49arrow-down1·2 years agoConsidering they didn’t pay any of the moderators as is, I don’t think they would pay for them now.
minus-squareGaryPonderosa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years agoYou don’t think they would pay a pittance for mods they can control and who will quell dissent like the blackout before it ever gets off the ground?
minus-squareprimordial_chowder@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21arrow-down1·2 years agoWhy would they when you can find plenty of power-hungry bootlickers who’ll do it for free?
minus-squareIninewCrow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·2 years agoLol … All you have to do is give moderators permissions to a teenager with an axe to grind and they’ll work for free for years I hate Reddit because of all this stupidity … I’ve jumped ship not looking back and I’m staying on Lemmy
minus-squareCookieJarObserver@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down2·2 years agoThey didn’t pay anyone anything so far and if they do that they are doomed for a different reason.
minus-squareArtemZ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·2 years agoTbh $0.20 a day won’t get you very far even in Bangladesh nowadays. Moderation costs will be quite high in the end for them.
