Bingo.

Few years ago I was invited to mod a small but growing community.
About a year later the sub founder (and other mods) just gradually disappeared.
When I brought this up, the top mod (a month later and without warning) removed everyone and asked to DM him if we wanted to continue being mods.

Every single person re-applied, but the inactivity continued.

When I looked at their profile, it turned out they were moderating dozens of subs, and according to the moderation log, I was the only one who actually performed any mod actions in the last 6 months.

This was when I took my leave.
Again, we're talking about a small ~20k community.
I can't even imagine the kind of clout chasing that goes around in large subs.

Just last week someone retorted to me with "I've been using the official app for 2 years and I'm happy".

I was thinking about asking them what alternatives they tried, but in the end decided it was not worth the effort.
It was either an AI, or I already knew the answer.

I feel your rant, I really do.
You have no idea how disappointed I was after the Wikipedia redesign until I found the full width button in the bottom corner.

Most sites are optimized for mobile and are completely asinine looking on a monitor.
Especially text heavy sites where even a single sentence is broken into 2 or more lines, meanwhile 70% of the screen is empty.
And it's not like it's hard to implement a button like Wikipedia did, web designers just don't give a crap.
I payed for a full monitor, let me use the full monitor!

Deleting my Reddit comments was a strange experience. ( kbin.social )

It wasn't the fact that there was a limit to see 1000 comments but what they were. The vast majority of my 12 years on Reddit I spent talking about dungeon and dragons 5th edition (DnD 5e) which I started playing early in is lifestyle. It was my first role playing game and I got sucked into the Internet to learn more. Before my...

The good news is that we are on the verge of building something that we own on Lemmy, where corporations won’t be able to fuck with us as much.

Yeah, about that...
Let's see what happens when Meta decides to federate Threads with the rest of us.

I really hope you're right because I love this place right now. It's much smaller than other platforms but there's enough content for hours of browsing and the community is leagues above the rest of the internet in terms of quality of discourse.

Outside of the fedi, I don't remember the last time I saw opposing views coexist in the same thread without one being brigaded.

It's a shitshow and everyone's done with it.
This is reddit employees discussing the current state of the company.
