That bit at the start about addressing the people who want to see them fail... ehhh

I mean, people who actively want to see you fail just because shouldn't really be engaged with at all tbfh, and if he's referrring to who I think he's referring to, then bleah

Otherwise at least they're back, let's see how they improve

Yeah they're definitely tripling down on this and must expect that the community will blink first

With that said, the idea that r/buyitforlife is a good example for advertisers to sell their (in all likelihood) subpar quality products is a bit amusing

Did he really just do all of that just to turn back?

Wonder what Putin might do now, he should make sure Prigozhin pay big time otherwise he'll definitely be seen as feckless, but at the same time he can't really afford to eliminate what is still a significant arm of his invasion force

Por que no los dos?

Yeah I get that too, but it just shows we've been too reliant on others to generate content for us

If it's the news you need, there are RSS feeds from news sites, I've also subscribed to them after leaving Reddit

Have to admit that I've been lurking on Reddit much more (via Stealth, it scrapes from the old reddit api) and unfrotunately the lack of activity on here kinda made even lurking back on there a superior experience

I get that I should initiate discourse if I want that on here, but man it's really quiet on here either way

Thanks for bringing this up; it's an important conversation.

Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active.

Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection.

We regularly enforce our subreddit and moderator-level rules. As you point out, this means that we have policies and processes in place that address inactive moderation (Rule 4), mods vandalizing communities (Rule 2), and subreddit squatters (also Rule 4). When rules like these are broken, we remove the mods in violation of the Moderator Code of Conduct, and add new, active mods to the subreddits. We also step in to rearrange mod teams, so active mods are empowered to make decisions for their community. The Moderator Code of Conduct was launched in September 2022, and you’ll notice via post and comment history that this account has been used extensively to source new mod teams.

Leaving a community you deeply care for and have nurtured for years is a hard choice, but it is a choice some may need to make if they are no longer interested in moderating that community. If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

It's interesting how c/gunners has turned out to be one of the more active communities I'm a part of in Lemmy, looks like there's been enough of us who jumped ship (or at least tested the waters)

They what now? Wtf

We're coming to the point where online chat is half about trying to suss out an LLM bot lmfao

What a through ball good grief

Well I've found a Soccer sub, but that's about it

Ffs just realised just how many subs I've been participating in over there, would be a big loss

Hehehe, is there a rimjob_steve equivalent over on Lemmy?

After some googling... seems like he abdicated from being Emperor to take care of his vegetable garden

Sainz is a genius

What the fuck, half a decade of Lotito saying he's worth north of 100m and now this?

Is he out out? Maybe he'll be given the chance to do Zanvoort before it's official

Fortunately you were unexpectedly and spectacularly wrong about this eh

Lmao that logo, they really can't help themselves with the Illuminati allegations can they

Missing a friend I haven’t really spoken to since we had an argument a few months ago

Man, not sure what's the situation but go make peace when you can,
