    So if r/gunners were to maliciously comply with the Reddit overlords as a protest, would the subreddit vote to post sexy Wenger pics instead of John Oliver? 🤔

        Yeah but I doubt our brethren would vote for it, “iT dOesN’t CoNceRn me AnD I nEeD the kArMa fRoM mY cLickbAit transfer post! This is stupid!”

        I actually think it’s pretty cool the other subs are doing it, spez isn’t going to do anything but at least it floods Reddit with stuff they can’t actually sell to data miners.

          Lemmy turned out to be a pretty good alternative. Reddit is only going to keep getting worse.

          I am actually enjoying the lack of a karma system on Lemmy and the absence of data miners too.

          Yea, I think this whole fiasco has shown which mods have the balls to stand up for what they believe in and which ones crumble because they want to hold on to their little Internet power. I think Moist Critical said it best in his YouTube video - some mods folded so quickly as soon as it seemed like their subs might get taken away.

            You’re deffo a shout for it, a day one user if I remember correctly.

            Also I remember you were saying something about developing bots once you’ve got the time!

              Thanks! I’ve never made a forum bot before so I’ve been reading a lot of documentation. Lemmy has some good resources. Don’t want to mess up my first one 😅

              I just like this community a lot and want to help whichever way I can :)

                Yea, 100% Roxamir I’d get you on board if you can figure out the bots, etc.

                As I mentioned yesterday, right now I’ve just given out the roles based on engagement needs rather than actual moderation. So decided to give it to the folks driving the daily threads.

                Next set of mods will definitely be around the more technical moderation tools like bots, etc.

                We’re fortunate enough that right now the mods don’t actually need to do moderation - partly because we’re a small community, partly because we’re not assholes.

                Eventually when we need a full mod team, we’ll probably involve the community in deciding who the mods are but I think we’re still a way from there.

        Just in the future as the community gets bigger.

    Changed the sidebar, let me know if y’all have suggestions for what to put there! Might put the Bergkamp quote back but I wanted it to be distinct from r/gunners
