It's precisely what everyone said would happen. Spez and the Reddit team seem not to realise how important mods and users were to their business! The number of people who will do the thankless task of dealing with the internet's undercurrent of horrendous behaviour are few.
I don't disagree with your general point, but I remember that there were many people (on reddit, but also on lemmy) who said there would be lots of power-hungry redditors just waiting to take over and that the admins would thus have no trouble at all finding replacements.
Finding replacement is one thing. Finding good replacement an entirely different one.
Yup. The real test will be how these communities function in 6 months, since the effect probably won't show until then.
Let's see how many are willing to go through all that regurgitating shit and survive a month in their new profession.
It's never a good idea to set yourself up to be disappointed in humans because you're gonna be disappointed lol
Those were the same shit-stirrers, and they don't care if they're right or not as long as you can be wrong about something. They're just waiting for that something and they'll start hooting about how smart they are again.
