Good job! A mod with integrity.

Don't you have to delete the comments as well? Or does juts deleting the account delete everything. I'm considering this as well. The CEO is a creep.
scab mods... here they come! Good luck!
These last three days have been a lot more calm for me. I think social media in great quantities is bad. The normies that will continue using reddit are the ones that probably use Instagram as well. I am definitely not one of those. So reddit making this change was its final gift to me after 15 years of teachable moments.
Worse test none of it is memorable. At least not to me.
After reddit my needs from a social book marking website are simple:
- Completely open source
- Moderators can be recalled by the communities they mod.
- Not for profit (ads are not the primary source of funding)
The internet needs to have something like reddit as core infrastructure. A digital public square. This requirement is incompatible with profit motive. This is why time and time again social media sites fail.
I'm personally ok with multiple technology instances. It was weird at first, but I think that is by design.
I do agree that user management needs a redesign. I have three fediverse usernames that I created because I was a noob and everytime it asked me to login I would get denied and create an account. This would be absolutely awful for the normies.
This is where IPFS might actually be useful. Also this might help fight the trolls.
