According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.

    One of the nails in the coffin for Digg was that users increasingly felt they didn’t have a voice on the site anymore because a few power users had games the system and taken control. The same thing has happened to Reddit, except now those users are able to hide behind bots and AI.

    I didn’t realize how bad it had become until I came to the Fediverse and saw more fresh content than I had seen on Reddit in years. No more timed reposts of the same memes or top posts, more organic conversations in the comments, meme formats I hadn’t seen in years.

      In a way I think this is part of why the old memos resurfaced. The humans were rebelling against the careful curating of contant they were exposed to previously by enjoying things that were organic and illogical.

      Reddit is worse than Digg in that respect. Imagine if MrBabyMan and other Digg power users were narcissistic power-tripping assholes with the power to ban people and remove content and you get Reddit.

      The beauty of the fediverse is that if you don’t like an instance or its admins, you can just make your own instance with blackjack and hookers. Digg and Reddit had no such recourse.
