  • Unfortunately, Reddit has learned from their mistakes and restricted the ability for moderators to lock down their own subreddits. So any protest actions will not be as effective as 2023.

    And just recently, Reddit announced that you can no longer generate your own API keys and will need to request permission from Reddit themselves. This is the final nail in the coffin for 3rd party apps, as back in 2023 you could still generate your own API keys and continue using 3rd party apps. The silence in the public outrage against this is deafening.

    Instead of taking drastic actions affecting the most amount of people, Reddit is taking smaller actions that will slowly kill off things they don’t like. This will limit the outrage, and at the same time, they get to achieve what they want.









  • The last action by a moderator on that c/ was from 27 days ago according to their mod log.

    It’s really unfortunate that the largest anime community on Lemmy is operated by a person who currently “moderates” 292 subreddits on Reddit. And if any reasonable moderator can tell you, there’s no way you can possibly be able to split your time across that many subreddits.

    In my honest opinion, literally any other anime community is better than the one owned by a subreddit hoarder. This entire idea of hoarding subreddits/communities goes against the single most important principle of Lemmy, which is federation.

    But I can’t change your opinion. What you do next is up to you.
