Reddit’s approach to replacement mod appointments has further damaged community trust in Reddit
Interesting that an article owned by the holding company of reddit (Arstechnica and reddit are both owned by Conde Nast) would be so critical of reddit.
The one thing I never understood is why did the Oliver subs go back to normal instead of sticking with Oliver. Finally, interest was lost in the Oliver jokes and traffic was going down. So it would have been the perfect time to enforce Oliver and cut into the ads traffic that way. News articles at the time didn’t show any indication that this was another moved forced by reddit admins so why did the mods seemingly cave in without cause?
Following. Would love to get some peertube recommendations.

Thank you @ernest for all you do and all you have done!
Absolutely do not want to see you run yourself into the ground over kbin matters, your family and your health come first.
I don’t question your judgement, but I think the “step down” bit is a bit extreme, even if you fail to meet the deadline. Worst case, maybe let the community appoint a second-in-command temporarily to get some things moving along while you take a well deserved break?
If you check out the modlog, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/modlog you can see that @Shortcake last did some moderation activity six days ago, deleting and blocking stuff from federated user imona at kbin.melroy.org
I think the admins like @ernest wouldn’t do anything at this point, since the mod reappeared somewhat recently to reclaim the mantle. Instead, we need to figure out how to reach out to Shortcake and figure out how to get moderation more active here again.
Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet
I’m actually happy to give a vote of confidence in @Shortcake who did a great job moderating this magazine in the beginning.
If that individual would just return to checking this magazine more frequently, I’m happy to leave things as-is.
But if that’s not possible, hopefully Shortcake will appoint someone as a third mod soon so this magazine can get cleaned up. (Speak of - any volunteers?)
Actually, @Shortcake got back to me two days ago and took care of the spam - or so we thought. I’m sending another message now since we’re getting more spam.
I’m wondering if an email was sent out as part of the updates that @ernest and @admin are doing to kbin, which might have grabbed the mods attention here. The lack of email notifications makes it hard to keep up, I’m thinking.
I was hoping that perhaps the folks behind @admin could help out here as a stopgap measure (at least to clean up spam in unmodded magazines) - but then I realized that the admin hasn’t been online in over a month :/
A lot of spam seems to be coming from one-off instances via federation. Makes it easier to stop (the admins can just defederate once an instance is identified as a spammer w/o having to get into the tricky question of getting involved with the moderation of other magazines) but it also means new user restrictions aren’t enough by themselves.
Any updates on this general mechanism? Another, larger magazine now needs help: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/377620/Seems-like-m-RedditMigration-is-currently-unmoderated
Btw - really appreciate everything you’ve done. I know how hard it can be to keep up with all the requests and tags, you must be utter swamped.
Should be available for all moderators, owners should atleast have an optional option to enable that.
Seems like a feature request for codeberg, I suppose.
And what happened to the requesting subs function? When is that coming out?
I thought this would have been covered by an existing feature request but I can’t find it on codeberg.
What’s really odd is that I am sub’d to this magazine but I didn’t see this post until I searched for @TheArstaInventor (for an unrelated thing). Getting worried that this magazine is effectively unmoderated, but would be happy to see someone like @TheArstaInventor get added as a third mod here.
This magazine is filling up with spam pretty quick so it is kind of urgent.
Did you ever hear back about this? I was asking about this for /m/RedditMigration, see https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/377620/Seems-like-m-RedditMigration-is-currently-unmoderated - it’s pretty bad that we have such a large magazine that’s effectively unmoderated right now.
The first time this happened for that sub, we were able to directly appeal to Ernest and he added an extra moderator, but that was before he took a step back, and I wasn’t sure how the new system was supposed to work.
moderator pruning.
In this specific case I’m not advocating for removing any of the existing mods - there was a time period when the original owner of the magazine was active, and then a time gap when the other moderator was around. Just currently we have a gap where neither seems active.
But who’s to say that in a few months time, a new third mod would not be inactive, while the first two mods would have returned?
I think it’d help to start emailing notifications if they’re not checked within a certain period of time.
Agreed.
Thanks! I still can’t see it in mine, but confirmed it does show up when logged out from incognito. I guess it’s the same issue as reported in https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/364055/Unable-to-post-Thread-or-Photo
Posting as a link didn’t work for me.
I tried that with https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/377620/Seems-like-m-RedditMigration-is-currently-unmoderated but got the same 50x error and the link topic is still not showing up in kbinMeta
Not sure, but account deletion is a manual process here. I suspect what actually happens is that the magazine is tranferred to the default owner / first admin account. On kbin.social that would be ernest.
See for example https://kbin.social/m/trans - a sub with few threads. I think the original owner successfully requested account deletion which is why that sub is owned by ernest now.

Not sure of the historical average time. It’s a manual process though so it will take some time for the admins to get to it.
I saw an example of this some months ago. It seems like the posts do get nuked, though with recent updates I’m not 100% certain that this is still the case. Again see /m/trans - most likely it was one of those subs where most of the threads were started by the owner posting, so when the owner’s account was deleted, so to did those threads and posts.
Actually it’s worse than this - as the entire thread is gone, including other commenters’ replies.
