Can someone do a ELI5 on this?

So you’re saying I should try Hot sort now? Hmm. Let’s see.

Ummm. I have a friend that has a 2nd NSFW account too.

I would be passing drive thru after eating there. But it looks so good though.

How much garbage post you have to weed through on Reddit? Some user suggest to do a silent protest where the mods don’t moderate and just remove the very bad ones. Letting the sub degrade over time. Is that a feasible action? Would that work on a small niche sub?

This is the time when volunteer mods finally get their paycheck!

Step 1: Use alt account to trash talk your mod account. Step 2: Apply to oust your mod account with a small compensation Step 3: Profit!!!

For the semi-lurker like me there’s nothing holding me back to Reddit. Some current news, sprinkle of meme, some draft comments that I will never submit and some meaningful discussion from community, fediverse has all those.

Isn’t this what happened to raspberry.social when they started telling everyone to unfollow them if they don’t agree. They got defederated. ilIt’s not child porn bad but it’s a swift action if an instance don’t play nice.

This is what I want to see. When admins forced a sub to reopen I would think the volunteer mods won’t maintain it, it will slowly crumble. Volunteer mods has a better motivation to maintain the sub they love than a paid employee.

I hope this will be our new Reddit.
