Reddit is too hostile to its users AND moderators. You join but can’t post anywhere because low karma… And nobody tells you that.
As for mods we had to deal with abuse every day (took admins years to introduce the mute feature) and we received news about site wide rules the same time you did. Then were left to enforce them despite not understanding them, as their rules are really loosely defined. But if you don’t enforce them, you could get your account or subreddit banned.
So yeah miss me with that shit. I’m not an employee of reddit, I’m a volunteer. It shouldn’t have to be a job.
I left some time last year after being suspended and never went back. Best decision I made - you don’t notice how negative that place is until you leave.
Also too many fascists on there that reddit still doesn’t ban after several blackouts and open letters. Guess there must be fash in the admin team.
I hear ya, former mod here too, and its the most stressful guessing game after reddit gives you a warning to try to not get your subreddit banned… you even end up having to censor posts with richard spencer getting punched.
Meanwhile every 3rd comment on the reddit mains is “nuke china!”, or “unpopular opinion here, I don’t want black ppl in my neighborhood” (10k upvotes and 50 flairs.)
