    I started a sub that had 400k users and was around for 10 years. /r/functionalprint

    After I made it read only, admins they just up and gave it to some rando mod that had no experience in that sub at all.
    So it doesn’t surprise me the mods of a lot of subs have absolutely NO experience in the subs they are modding.

    Screw Reddit.

    There are a ton of dangerous 3D printing happening. Especially people doing shit that’s pressurized.

      • To be fair, reading and writing feel more like a natural ability I was born with, over a skill I developed over many years. For context: I was reading single words and short phrases at age 3. By 8, I had read my parents entire encyclopedia library. While I can see pictures in my mind’s eye, my thoughts are generally visualizations of words themselves. I hope this doesn’t come off like a brag or anything… I’ve always just found it weird because most people I talk to do not experience this.

          You’re above average. Having a minimum of reading comprehension already qualifies you as a mod. You don’t need to know much about a given topic to mod the obvious trolls. But… you’re only one person, no matter how fast you read or write, you have a limit, and you shouldn’t go above it or you end up halfassing the job, or what users call “power tripping” (not taking context into account, blindly relying on user reports or votes just to get things out of the way, etc.).

          While I can see pictures in my mind’s eye, my thoughts are generally visualizations of words themselves.

          There were some interesting discussions about imagination, aphantasia, internal monologue, and different ways of internal perception on Reddit… they’re likely gone now (at least for my part).

    we hate that posts are removed for stupid reasons on reddit so we made lemmy and now we celebrate that posts aren’t removed from reddit for stupid reasons.

    god I hate redditors.
