Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts (www.macrumors.com)

As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

Build ~~Kbin~~ Fediverse.

I like Lemmy more than Kbin, personally, but we can federate together and build up the fediverse 😄

I think Lemmy looks a bit more manageable but the people running it seem slightly concerning. I don't want to get attached to a place just to leave again.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of them either so that's why I joined different instances. Beehaw has been a really good one but I was enjoying lemmy.world before this account too.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like the fact Lemmy seems to have a ton more instances, but I like the look of Kbin.

[–] Dee_Imaginarium@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm the opposite haha, I think Kbin has some cool communities and stuff but I way prefer the look of Lemmy. To each their own! Beauty of the fediverse is that we can choose our own platform but still interact 😄

Any mobile web apps for kbin I can use for iPhone? Like wefwef for Lemmy?

[–] Dee_Imaginarium@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Idk maybe, I implied I don't use Kbin with that comment from 25 days ago. Not sure why you'd ask me tbh.
