What about bots to talk to the bots thought?

syntax error, malformed JSON.

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

The reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me.

Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum:

• “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens”
• “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?”
• “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such”
• “but there’s no users on lemmy”
• “but that would split the community!”

This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted

I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good.
