Found me a new channel to subscribe to, thanks mate

I want the place to be just big enough that the real niche communities (mostly gaming) start blooming. After that, though, I'm good.

filling a hole

Such a little thing, but definitely welcome. I spent tons of time scoping out the Rimworld workshop, which has thousands of mods.

I think stuff like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199

is what's more provably worrying. Modlogs are public, and if I'm interpreting this information correctly, I think the devs are engaging in scummy practices.

Catharsis and Schadenfreude (two very, very good words)

Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven't left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.

I was also a mod on Reddit, for about six years.

There are people as you describe. The rest of us hated them, too, because not only did we have the same grievances as normal users but, on top of that, they made all mods look bad by association and started (or perpetuated) a lot of the stereotypes users across the internet still have about internet mods.

Those people weren't all mods, though. Even among those left at Reddit that won't leave, I think a lot of mods just don't care one way or the other and think they can keep moderating as they always have as the place starts to fracture. I think they're wrong, which is why I left. Certainly all the worst powermods and terminally online folk won't leave, for the reasons you do outline, but even now I don't think it's right to paint everyone with that broad a brush.

Not the point. Some mods bad, some mods good, and without mods entirely online spaces would be full of crap.

Given this community is General Discussion, I think it should be required for submitters to put forth their own text to start said discussion. I think allowing link posts is fine but OP must include text in the post describing what the link is and what they think about it.

You know what else is characteristic of Reddit?

Immediately launching into assuming any moderator is horrible and organizing some kind of conspiracy, not ever acknowledging that people could be acting for a reason other than malice.

Oh yes. I've played quite a few idler-like games, and I hate ones that just go on forever, or for an excessively long time. A good idler, to me, has more mechanics than just spam clicking and incrementing numbers (even though it should incorporate these as core mechanics) and has something that sets it apart from the others, whether that be novel mechanics or some sort of story.

Aw you're fine, I just wanted to let whoever ran the account know. There was an instance of a bot dev deliberately not marking their account as a bot to try and make it seem natural, didn't want you to get caught up in that - the development of an automod for lemmy will be a big step forward in moderation.

This script works as an app attached to your user, and rate limits itself so it doesn't break - that's why it takes so long, though. Took me 25 hours to shred a 6 year old account.

copied from elsewhere:

To do a full scrub of everything you've ever posted:

1. Request your GDPR data package here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
2. Wait for it to arrive
3. Use shreddit to fully delete everything: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

This will take a long time if you've posted and commented a lot. This works better than PowerDeleteSuite in my experience, as PDS missed a lot of stuff that was older than a certain point.

There is a way to make it not delete your comments and change what the edited message is, check the readme in the github link.

I wonder what the playercounts will look like? It'll only capture people launching the game through Steam, of course, but I figure they'll be decently high and score among the top concurrent players anyway.

Very nice bot! If it is a bot, it should be marked as a bot account though.

Garlic bread, I think

Then I think you've fundamentally misunderstood. If I have a community about baseball, and I don't allow non-baseball content, I would not have a rule stating "no non-baseball content and no LGBT content". That doesn't make any sense, and would only be included if I also wanted to remove baseball-and-lgbt content, which would be bigoted.

I don't think all of those people hate LGBT.

And, honestly, to think that deplatforming bigotry is just as dangerous as bigotry is absurd to the point where I don't think any reasonable discussion could be had here anymore.
