I'm sure there's the odd mod that gets paid or allowed to monetize, but the vast majority of them are unpaid.

The great thing with Lemmy though, is you can leave instances. I could get banned into the 6th dimension and I just have to start a different account on a different instance. Often can find whatever kind of sub I'm looking for on different instances too.

The cost of this will be less users but I mean if you can get a couple hundred, that largely eliminates that issue. Lemmy will keep getting bigger, we'll have to deal with the nutsack mods at some point, but there's no big daddy reddit for them to hide behind here. They are on their own.

Everything is baseless and politically motivated. Everything. Well at least it is according to the UCP. Who are baseless and politically motivated.

I think we've all suffered through a mod lecture or two. Nothing I love more than being lectured by people that are just absolute wastes of resources. There are starving children in the world, yet someone insists on keeping the insufferable and miserable mods of our cities subreddit fed and housed.

It's the mods that are killing it. Absolute 1 dimensional neckbeard thinking, and the bots. I mean who the fuck in their right mind volunteers to work for a multi billion dollar tech company, right? Absolute neck beard degenerates, that's who.

Modding probably sucks ass, don't get me wrong, but expel your efforts on modding something like a Lemmy instance, where it's for good and not just efforts that go to buying another yacht for some billionaire laughing all the way to the bank

I just got a three day account ban, for threatening violence, by commenting that I hope someone got charged for running a red light. This is the second time this has happened in two months, all thanks to maniacs on our community subs.

It took me awhile to go back to that shit hole, and I'm getting a good reminder why. I just wish Lemmy would get a bit more active, and I can finally put Reddit to bed.

This actually sounds like vacation to me. I wish someone would banish me to my house, even with the curfew. I could use it as an excuse to get out of, well, everything.

Guess it's time for me to put myself up for a bid at a four year paid holiday as a counselor then. Anyone wanna party after I win!? Steak on me!

I wish them the best of luck at these prices though. I get that the enthusiasts will clamor for it. There's a couple million people that would buy a half eaten shoe for hundreds of dollars, if only Nintendo stamped their logo on it. Once the dust clears though (and this is a personal opinion and hunch), I bet Joe Public scoffs and it's the WiiU#2.

What smells like pee...do you see pee? I see pee...

There's no justice anymore

This has been an issue for 15-20 years at this point. Pretty minor effort, that will net zero long term results. Problems bigger than enforcement, it's time for these politicians to really step up and start figuring out longer term strategies here. Because the zombie apocalypse is at all of our doorsteps at this point.
