MODERATORS
Exactly! Last I checked, sure there was a lot of activity BUT as you said, many subs are still dark. The major subs that reopened with new moderation have definitely had a major dip (imo) in quality. I was still seeing John Oliver everywhere. They did use quite a few users, maybe not enough for them to flinch too hard but, how active were those users? I consider my old account there a "power comment account" I rarely posted but was extremely active in the threads, spending hours each day replying to comments of my inbox, so much so that I rarely even viewed actual content. Makes me wonder, how many accounts like mine did they lose? Many just lurked. The comment sections were fueled by active commenters and imo it wouldn't take losing too many like me for the threads to take a noticeable hit.
Anyway I don't care much about how it is over there rn, just glad I have this place so I don't have to support that platform in any way. Plus now that I've found a cool app, jerboa or whatever it's quite enjoyable! Connect and liftoff are also great but my phone doesn't play well with many apps.
I occasionally open RIF just to see if it's still working which it is but it doesn't let me login, meaning I can only access the front page of /r/all and man, it is abysmal. The content there doesn't even motivate me to stay there any longer than for a quick glance, lol. Tbf, if I open old.reddit on PC while logged in (which I now almost never do and I haven't posted anything there since June 31), it is better but it still doesn't feel completely the same. Plenty of subs still missing, some other that I didn't use to see much are now more present instead, and then there's /r/videos which still requires profanity in titles but now also, hilariously, only allows text transcripts of videos with no link to them.
That was my favorite protest twist. I've only checked back to see that my ~2000 comments remained edited/deleted (they are). Otherwise, I am fine moving away just as I did with Digg. It's a new experience and it's just fine. I do agree that the niche subs are probably what keep drawing folks back there. It'll take time to curate those elsewhere.
I had no idea /r/videos was doing that. Hilarious.
