Daily Bard Digest 2024-07-23

Live feed of the best moderator on the internet, straight into your veins.

Here's todays official post from the BARDCHIVE:

06/10/23 21:27:45 with a score of -1: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditForGrownups/comments/146godz/heads_up_that_reddit_is_possibly_looking_to_stop/jnqesh5/?context=8

While it's probably true that many employees knew that they were changing access terms for the Reddit API as of 40 days ago, it's also very true that many of those changes have plausible business cases for why they're necessary. Reddit can / has / will likely continue to justify that less than 2% of moderation activity was done via modqueues through third party apps.

What they cannot weasel away from is that they were simultaneously running usage experiments that blocked logged-in users — including moderators — from accessing their login sessions via mobile browser,

Because that's an admin saying flatly exactly that they were running an experiment to do just that

If it's in another subreddit, that's between them, the subreddit moderators, and the reddit admins — not you

Help them by directing them to the Reddit Moderator Code of Conduct, and tell them that if they reasonably believe the mods of the other subreddit are violating sitewide rules, the user agreement, or moderator code of conduct, they can file a complaint.

And then, very importantly,

thank them for their concern and wash your hands of the affair

Troll / chaos actor groups who spent 2015-2022 making moderators' lives miserable are still around, still finding ways to draw moderators into doing things as pretexts to get them mobbed / dogpiled / admin-actioned.

If it's a question about how another subreddit handles their moderation (short of "this subreddit is clearly asking people to harass my audience / me / break reddit") — that's beyond your power to know, your power to do anything about it.

If another mod team is perpetually muting one or a half dozen accounts — there may be a reason they do that.

If they're perpetually muting all banned accounts - that's probably just antagonistic trolling.

Either way, it's between the banned users, the mod team, and Reddit.

Don't touch the glue trap.
