Reddit invites mods to “feedback” conversations with the admins

This feels like one of two things;

1- Their threats aren't actually working, and they don't have enough quality mods to replace the ones they've overthrown (as evidenced by subs where the mod teams were nuked remaining frozen)

2- PR move to pretend like they're listening and reduce anger.

Seriously, what is the point of this attempt AFTER they've nuked so many mods and users?

Edit: I feel like this comment is right on the money

better yet, they will listen but only in "small groups" of people "they pick" as to curate the the overall mod "response" and then will claim that all mods across all communities will share this same slated opinion.

Watch.

I just wanted to leave this here

Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.

Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries

Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea considering the creator to lurker ratio?

Hawaii cannot ban guns on beaches, US judge rules

Instead of just flat out hating on them and calling them lazy, maybe do some research into why there are so many non-voters.

And yes, suppression IS a big enough reason to. Who the fuck on an hourly wage has the luxury of driving/transiting to a distant poll station and wait in line for 9+ hours to vote?

But hey, if it makes you feel better to dunk on them as "Lazy", keep at it, that's sure to convince them /s

Edit: Forgot to mention that you assume all these non-voters would vote for your party. Based on research, a very sizable portion would not.

Two years under Taliban rule in Afghanistan: ‘I never thought the world would forget about us so quickly’

Reply in thread

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I absolutely believe the IRS needs to be funded enough to go after these ghouls (aka the opposite of "Starve the Beast"), but the first thing they did after the last increase in funding was go after people that sold more than 600$ a YEAR online (Ebay, Mercari...etc.) despite "The IRS insists it will not be targeting low to middle-income households"

They only delayed it for one year after the outcry. So yeah, I'll believe it when I actually see it.
