    This is what is so frustrating to me as well! I have visited a few old subs to see where/if they were moving and the amount of people saying essentially “why would the mods do a useless protest” and “nobody cares about kbin/Lemmy nobody is going to switch” is so perplexing to me. I also get frustrated at “this change won’t affect me so I just want to sub opened” when I have seen it explained multiple times that a lot of the useful mod tools are built on these API calls so if you want to have well moderated subs, you want this to be worked out! And even without that, just the way that reddit is handling this whole situation sucks.

      I mean the part of the problem is people have this irrational hatred of moderators. Like obviously some of them are power tripping people but I think people sort of forget these at the end of the day volunteers who are making the place actually usable for its purpose. Obviously this isn’t to give them a free pass and they are as fallible as any other human and should be held accountable when they make mistakes but it feels so many people want a perfectly moderated space but without the mods.

        Hating stupidity, abusive behaviors, and hypocrisy isn’t irrational.

        i just want mods who aren’t shitty people who think they know better than everyone else. all they need to do is keep away the spam and bots.

          The irrational part that people miss is, as always, thinking of a subset as a unified whole.
