The moderators in many forums are now discussing malicious compliance. Moderating only using Reddit tools and letting the system go to hell as a result. There is no way I would invest in this because without those tools Reddit is going to degrade into a cesspool very quickly. Apparently Reddit plans to use AI moderation to "solve" the problem and based on seeing AI moderation in other places .... that will be a disaster.

@eliaspanayi3465 Those moderators don't lord power over people. They held votes and overwhelmingly their communities decided ton being part of the blackout and the moderators implemented it.

@Gandhi_Physique It is called malicious compliance. It is like when your boss tells you to do something a certain way and you know it won't work so you make sure to get the orders on the record an dthen do it exactly the way your boss said. Sometimes with the consequence of getting your boss fired.

Reddit is already losing money. This action is causing them to lose users. This action is also going to cause many communities to become cesspools without the ability to actually moderate a lot of the content. Why would this be a good investment? Why would anyone invest in a company that is losing money and users?

@oldtools I don't see how the first amendment applies here at all. Reddit is not the government and then moderating or not has nothing to do with your first amendment rights.

@PublicWifi If we are lucky it will be that advanced.

@tachobrenner And that is why some of these companies are bragging about how they are making more money than ever before and talking about further raising prices in their earnings calls? This stuff is not hard to find.

@oldtools The first amendment is ONLY about the government interfering in your freedom of expression and preventing them from regulating the establishment of a religion. It has nothing to do with private companies giving you a platform or not. There are some laws that govern private companies and platforms but it has nothign to do with the first amendment.

@oldtools I don't want a free speech platform. From experience very quickly you have no almost no speech left in them. You end up with very toxic people taking over for their own entertainment, everyone else, leaves, the toxic people are bored and they move on to the next location. I want moderated and topic specific areas to discuss things and I want stuff that does not belong there removed.

I read recently that after some extensive studying about 90% of all of the inflation is just companies increasing their profits. It is not about the cost of workers, materials, etc. Those are just excuses to raise the prices. The people at the top have decided they don't have enough and they want more. Sure they already have hundred million dollar yachts and some of their own space programs but it is clearly not enough. sigh what a bad world we live in.
