The amusing thing is, either this works and Reddit gets screwed over, or it doesn't and the mods (who do Reddit's job for free) get screwed over. Win-win :D

To be fair, the current state of reddit IS mostly due the unpaid activism of the tranny jannies. But they were doing their masters' bidding, so I'm happy to see either side burn.

Sure, Reddit is worse but jannies on other commercial sites like Twitter and Facebook get paid. Meanwhile on Reddit they don't see a red cent of all that ad revenue and IPO money. That's gotta sting even the most tranniest of jannies.

Are we sure they're unpaid? I really think a lot of the activist powermods are on somebody's payroll, just not reddit's.

Reddit won't pay them. They can't. That would make them employees and beneficiaries to all sorts of things according to their country of residence. In my country, an employee is entitled to two extra months of salary per year and a month of paid vacations, among many other things. It's untenable. If worse came, reddit would have to ban them all and get ddos and maligned, but eventually things would go back to normal.

Reddit can afford to throw the jannies a few extra bannannies ;)

and a month of paid vacations

free month modding r/staycations or r/realcatladies gone wild

If we emphasize how many BILLIONS the owners are about to make, and insist that the mods deserve PAY and a UNION before the IPO, this could actually work. It might blow up their IPO.

Also, we need a hash tag. #RedditUnionNow or something.

If you still frequent any reddit subs, consider making a post about "What a great job the mods are doing for us and isn't it an outrage that they won't see a dime from the $15 BILLION IPO Reddit's about to have."

Edit 2: Changed it from #RedditEquityNow to #RedditUnionNow - the goal should be PAY and a UNION, not just equity, because reddit could just toss the top 1,000 mods a few million dollars in shares to split and actually get good publicity out of it. Paying unionized mods totally upends their business model.

It's a clever idea, but OP over there forgets that the left NEVER hold themselves to their own rules.

Ultimately this will go nowhere.

That's why this is such a perfect idea. Of course Spez and his troon harem don't practice what they preach. But the tranny jannies stand to benefit from trying to force him to follow those rules, and they've already shown a willingness to burn the whole thing to the ground if they don't get their way, like when NNN was nuked. Either Faggit burns to the ground or there's a mass purge of their pedophile jannies. It's a win either way.

Maybe, but they can always find more tranny jannies to replace the ones that won't goosestep in line.

Even better to make it about financially supporting the Trans movement. For Spez not to pay moderators is to not support Trans workers rights.

Another tactic is to advocate for porn being banned from reddit.

True lefties might like this, but I dont think the mods have been genuine users of reddit for a few years. Most of the subs I used to visit have all been astroturfed now. But op might still be funny to try.

Reddit is possible in the same situation where Blizzard/WoW was some years back in that the only thing that will ever kill it will be Reddit itself through something spectacularly stupid.

Then again they've already had several scandals such as paedo admins, mods, cp in various subs, and yet it still keeps going so at this point who knows what will be the final straw for the sheep.

The userbase that remains is motivated only by hatred and perversion, both of which they get plenty of from the troomer subs alone. They're not abandoning it unless Spez cleans up his act, which he'll never do because he shares their hatred and sexual deviancy.

The only way that shit hole site goes is if the money dries up or Uncle Sam finally gets around to dealing with their facilitation of sex crimes. The latter is unlikely since the FBI is more interested in persecuting Republican voters than stopping pedos. The former will only come about if the ad and investor money dries up, and left on left violence is probably the most likely way that would happen, which is why this idea is brilliant.

Wont work, reddit provides those broken people the power trip and dopamine feedback loop that they otherwise wouldn't get in their regular meaningless lives (I mean why else are they mods?)

If anything, those retards should be paying reddit.

Left on left violence is the most effective way to to cut off the flow of ad and investor money to the site, which is what is needed to bring it down since the FBI is more interested in keeping Trump out of office than stopping the pedos running the place. Even if that doesn't happen we should still encourage it, if only to watch Faggit burn.

Mods get paid by political and corporate interests to curate good opinions and suppress "ungood" views.

I don't see many jumping off that gravy train for a salary.

I don't want to support unions though, because they are communist plots.

Also Jannies don't deserve to be paid.

They're expected to essentially maintain 24 hour moderation of their subs, for free. I'd say they do. In fact, I'd say it should be a far more formal job than it is - then it would be easier to keep power hungry little activist shits away from it.

Well, they won't while there are basically no standards to prevent them abusing their positions.

If these people are going to get a pay check, they'll be held to standards.

permalink parent save report block reply

– FuckGenderPolitics 4 points 4 years ago +4 / -0

The problem is those standards won't be any better than what we get now. Twitter and Facebook both pay their jannies and they're still leftist shit holes because that's the agenda Zuckerberg and Dorsey want to promote. I also suspect trannies will infiltrate paid roles as well. You need that kind of mental illness to be a censorious janny and not go insane. Between the diversity box checking and experience ("I was a janny for over a decade!") these troons would a shoe in for any paid janny roles.

That wouldn't help. You'd have to go the other direction. People should have to pay to be moderators.

Paywalls tend to help gatekeep at least a little.

I think they overestimate this. Whilst the mods claim to be leftist, their actions show them all to be trannies. The idea that they would go for a leftist policy is kinda unrealistic because the jannies only show liberalism to destroy speech on a mostly leftist site.
