    So if r/gunners were to maliciously comply with the Reddit overlords as a protest, would the subreddit vote to post sexy Wenger pics instead of John Oliver? 🤔

        Yeah but I doubt our brethren would vote for it, “iT dOesN’t CoNceRn me AnD I nEeD the kArMa fRoM mY cLickbAit transfer post! This is stupid!”

        I actually think it’s pretty cool the other subs are doing it, spez isn’t going to do anything but at least it floods Reddit with stuff they can’t actually sell to data miners.

          Lemmy turned out to be a pretty good alternative. Reddit is only going to keep getting worse.

          I am actually enjoying the lack of a karma system on Lemmy and the absence of data miners too.

          Yea, I think this whole fiasco has shown which mods have the balls to stand up for what they believe in and which ones crumble because they want to hold on to their little Internet power. I think Moist Critical said it best in his YouTube video - some mods folded so quickly as soon as it seemed like their subs might get taken away.

          @Astrealix I believe it’s their username followed by @ and then the instance they are on. Not going to actually tag them but I think it would be @ EFG @ Lemmy.world

            Yea, it’s a bit janky on the apps but in desktop it auto fills it for you hence why you see inconsistent tagging.

            You’re deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.

            Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you’ve got the time!

              Thanks! I’ve never made a forum bot before so I’ve been reading a lot of documentation. Lemmy has some good resources. Don’t want to mess up my first one 😅

              I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)

                Yea, 100% Roxamir I’d get you on board if you can figure out the bots, etc.

                As I mentioned yesterday, right now I’ve just given out the roles based on engagement needs rather than actual moderation. So decided to give it to the folks driving the daily threads.

                Next set of mods will definitely be around the more technical moderation tools like bots, etc.

                We’re fortunate enough that right now the mods don’t actually need to do moderation - partly because we’re a small community, partly because we’re not assholes.

                Eventually when we need a full mod team, we’ll probably involve the community in deciding who the mods are but I think we’re still a way from there.

      Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D’Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.

          As someone from Hong Kong, where our best clubs are finally doing something in Asian competition, fuck that lol. The most famous person we’ve ever had play for us was a washed up Diego Forlán.

              I remember seeing him on TV doing ads, it was wild. And now Kitchee are winning matches in the AFC CL while my club (South China) are languishing in the second tier cuz of money…

                Aren’t there like match fixing scandals every 2-3 years as well? I occasionally see the news reports if I happen to catch HK news.

                  There was one recently yeah lol. I honestly don’t pay attention to the local leagues as much as I would like cuz I’m an overseas student now and cuz have you tried? It’s not on Fotmob or Onefootball or any app, and my club isn’t even on pay-per-view TV lol cuz first division league.

            Balogun is looking to be a starter somewhere…

            But on a serious note, I’m curious to see what kind of selling fee Chelsea will get and whether they can squeeze it into this fiscal year or not. Poch has his work cut out for him and I don’t think he is going to get the patience that the Chelsea rebuild needs. There are just too many issues to address all at once but they dug themselves a 500m grave they will have troubles getting out of, whether the Saudi’s help much or not.

      I’m glad to see players getting real money, instead of that money flowing to team owners etc.

      It’s too bad that to do it they need to go move to silly league without fans, but hopefully it will trickle back into the real leagues.
