Nothing happend at Reddit Frontpage on June 12, 2023. The so called “protests” is a hoax invented by the Lemmy devs attempting to discredit our wonderful platform. The “purge of moderators” never happened, not one single moderator was purged. And those who did get purged are violent rioters internet vandals. Reddit is the greatest platform ever, and Lemmy is filled with racists and spammers and ads and evil developers trying censor posts and take away user freedom. Long live CEO Spaz! May his wisdom guide us towards a better future!
They’re replacing gold with “Community Points”, which are of course built on THE BLOCKCHAIN and are specific to the subreddit, but also if you get enough you can have more direct control over the subreddit or… something?
Mostly it sounds like a thinly veiled system designed to let people spend money to buy influence over a subreddit. But hey, it’s crypto-based so that makes it cool, right?
Holy shit… If people can buy influence, then the political nutbags that already influence social media through bot accounts will now be able to directly use their money to further push their agendas unfettered… I am so glad I jumped ship when I did.
Wait what? What happened?

Resigned former mod here. Just want to say I appreciate this lol.
You went Tiananmen Square on it.
What square? You mean the place where it’s famous for nothing ever happening? Just like nothing ever happened on Reddit. 😉
I wanna learn how to do this on the fly now. Perfect way to give TTRPG players info without telling them :D Thanks for the inspiration!

Likewise. Pretty sure it’s heading exactly where we think it’s heading.
