They're clearly using shaming tactics. By calling it a "tantrum" they try to make those mods look childish. In reality the mods demanded something to make their jobs easier, the company refused, so they parted ways.

Not "job", these are "volunteering contributions", that are not only time consuming, mentally consuming, and unpaid as well.

Hello, I'm meep_launcher, and I'm a recovering moderator.

Not only did my tools get taken, after the mass exedus, my mod queue exploded. There were so many more racist reports than before, and I was mod of a political satire subreddit.

Turns out the exedus took all the left leaning redditors leaving behind real pieces of work.

Glad I made the switch, and I set up cartographyanarchy here, so maybe I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.

Shitpost maps with me!

One more edit, I want to get this community up and running, so if you post in the next 24 hours I will write your map a song and post the link in the comments.

Oh also DM if you want to be a mod! Definitely looking for folks skilled in the art of Lemmy, coding, or just being all around wholesome.

Dude the name alone sounds awesome

edit: I want to post this map but its complaining that the content type isn't html. I don't really see the purpose of linking a webpage when linking directly to the image will allow it to properly embed? Not sure if that's an instance limitation or a community limitation but it seems like not the right choice for meme communities

Finally, the rail system U.S. deserves, old, loud, slow, never on time, and is under maintenance EVERY! F**KING! WEEKEND!

I've just been uploading to imgur and then posting the direct link. Lemm.ee won't allow direct image uploads, so we kinda need to Jerry rig it for the time being. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

After Reddit, Xitter, and Duolingo, I start to feel like hosting our work on a proprietary and profit-driven service is not a great idea.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, what's a good alternative I can advertise on my community?
