It's fine to do that kind of work for free for the sake of creating and maintaining a nice community for something you enjoy. It's like charity work.

The problem is that there's a big company that's profiting massively from this 'charity work'.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 74 points 1 year ago

You saying a for profit business cannot have volunteers because it’s akin to labor without pay? That’s anti capitalist and pro workers.

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not get all political on the Marxist Leninist meme community.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Even then, doing charity work while forcing your wife to earn all the money and do all the chores around the house is questionable

[-] Matomo@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

No arguing there, the specific situation is shit either way

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the best kind of charity work.

Moderating r/funny

Yes. When volunteers work for free to filter the content that reddit owns, reddit’s product becomes more valuable.

[-] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Even using Reddit by commenting or creating posts is doing free work to the financial benefit of Reddit the corporation.

At the same time, this is realistically the only way to gain/maintain community for really niche topics. Unfortunately, lemmy is not a thriving place for things like nonograms, low-poly artwork, the artist C418, or Pokemon GO research/infographics.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nonogram sounds like a euphemism lol

"Dude, stop touching your nonogram at work."

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Exactly. But the moderators get a taste of that juice and suck that reddit nectar.

[-] MufinMcFlufin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

In retrospect that reminds me of the big controversy with Minecraft back in the day when Mojang just casually revealed they owned bukkit.

Moderating a subreddit is a choice, not a personal characteristic. Attempting to dilute the meaning of the word by pretending that criticism of moderators is "bigotry" is itself abusive reactionary rhetoric.

[-] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 39 points 1 year ago

I used to moderate several subs with over 2M subscribers and while being a Digital Janitor can take a lot of time and effort at the end of the day its just volunteer labor and with Reddit in particular it's volunteer labor to help a commercial entity.

Society would be better off if these kinds of mods would use the time to volunteer at a soup kitchen or something.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

If it's a community you're passionate about, I don't see the issue myself.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Seems like many are doing it for the sake of modding though

[-] IzzyData@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 year ago

Working for free for a large corporation is just sad. What's even weirder is that this person acknowledges that it is basically a job, but doesn't mind not getting paid for it. I think most people that spend ridiculous amounts of time working for a big corporation for free don't have the understanding that it is basically a job.

I hope he seeks help of some kind.

[-] kambusha@feddit.ch 4 points 1 year ago

I hear FIFA is accepting volunteers

Only do moderation in moderation.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

The mod is a lazy POS. He will continue to contribute nothing to the household for as long as it’s tolerated. I hope he sees that post. Maybe that was the intent all along.

Also, I can see how “fake job” could be taken as rude, but why is it bannable to say mods “do it for free”? To me, that just seems like a statement of fact. They are unpaid volunteers, after all. Am I missing something?

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 year ago

Lemmy chads actually doing something(self hosting) while reddit mods wank for the 15th time to childs in a day while banning a few people.

Someone complaining about Reddit and Reddit mods on Reddit. That’ll show ‘em.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

I'm already seeing lemmy mods starting to act exactly like reddit mods so it's not that ill-fitting.

We shouldn't be surprised that the reddit-like website made as an alternative to reddit becomes more like reddit as more redditors leave reddit for reddit alternatives.

did i say reddit enough yet? reddit.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mods acting like mods everywhere else in response to users acting like users everywhere else.

No, we shouldn’t be surprised when we think we reinvented the wheel only to act surprised that it’s still round and rolls.

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I do like that moderation log feature on at least one lemmy instance. It allows you to see what the mods are doing and helps avoid communities with bad moderators. Or at least it would if you could search by community.

No need to block out the username, we know it's powermod.

Why pay human moderators when hydrogen atoms do it naturally and for free?

Seeing the guys alot of women choose to be with sometimes makes me proud to be single lmao.

[-] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

There's being a mod on many levels. From a mod on 4chan to a mod in facebook groups. Being a reddit mod these days is like naming your herpes and showing coworkers "pictures of the kids"

stammering under the pressure Post spez reddit and the humanitarian... then..... i just can't. Holy jesus fucks on wednesdays this shit screams "reddit mod" which is a whole new level of stupid. Seriously guy? You think you're that important?

And then a reddit mod steps in. And bigorty... bans..... society???? post spez reddit mod activate. Mother fucker.

And there's the awards......

That poor fucking Snoo.

[-] Boggy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The mods of r/sumo need to be shown this
