It seems the model where they encouraged volunteer moderators to be in charge of their own corner of reddit is coming back to haunt them. I assume this is why lemmy is so vibrant right now. Most internet users are sheep but the people fleeing reddit are the sub-section who actually do stuff on social media, not just consume. I wonder if reddit has realised this and is offering salaries to key people it has identified who were previously unpaid mods to stem the exodus.

I doubt that. They seem to be stern on that downward spiral path.

Steve Huffman just wants to sell the company and get that sweet sweet golden parachute. He probably knows his time as CEO is not long.

Definitely a money grab by incompetent leadership and staff

Imagine if they now lose more money from having to pay mods compared to the gains from forcing people onto their own datamining app...

Wouldn't that be a nice world to live in?
