Reddit is the worst Lemmy alternative
Reddit is the worst Digg clone
We are all landed gentry on this blessed day.
Speak for yourself!

Ooh, do we have Ken M here yet?
Flashback of fallout 76 support ticket shitshow lmao
Fallout 76 is actually good now tho.
Aren’t there subreddits where everyone who joins is a mod by default?
Came here to say this as well. As funny as this would be if it were an accident, just prior to me going scorched earth on my accounts I saw several subreddits in protest that made everyone subscribed to their sub a mod, and confirmed it myself.
It’s very likely a subreddit that the person was subbed to and forgot/didn’t know they were doing that.
If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users’ behalf. I don’t think it’s practical to literally make every user a moderator.
On r/politicalhumor and r/madlads, the answer is yes. But you need subreddit karma to log mod actions. There is a bot running in those subs which facilitates it.
What they will do to get you on their app…
I’m tempted to install the app and mod myself a /r/u_username sub just to see what chaos I can cause over on the big subs.
… or is that what they EXPECT me to do…?
Nope. The only winning move is not to play.
Wish they had gone through with it. The app is just a front-end that sends requests to the server, presumably the server is where authentication happens (otherwise everyone could just pull up dev tools on their desktop and become insta-mods of any sub with a few tweaks). That being said, if it was a server-side bug, then they have a big problem; otherwise it’s just little more than a graphical error.
Broken authorization is absurdly common, especially if they involve graphQl. I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked.
They played themselves. I look forward to the slow motion train wreck, they deserve it.
Oh man I would have decimated that comment section.
I mentioned this on the crosspost thread (speaking of which, why crosspost? It just splits comments), but I digress:
This could be because some subreddits went nuclear and made all users mods.
why crosspost?
I’m new to Lemmy and trying to learn how everything works. Also yeah I made everyone on r/madlads and r/politicalhumor a mod via the Mod Democracy Bot.
Yet another example of why Reddit should’ve just let 3rd pose apps be
This is genius because you basically grew your mod count for certain subreddits by “borrowing” from other subreddit mods.

Fun times ahead
