This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

Is this the best place for us though? @Zoe8338@lemmy.ml is the only mod and they don’t seem to be active.

The reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me.

Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum:

• “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens”
• “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?”
• “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such”
• “but there’s no users on lemmy”
• “but that would split the community!”

This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted

I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good.
