That's the most wishy-washy weasel-word corporate PR professional bullshit post I've ever seen

"Here, let's give you more ways to give us feedback that we can then promptly ignore"

Here’s a condensed version:

“It’s not that mistakes were made, you just got angry. Spontaneously. Weird how that happened, when we love you just, like, so much.

Anyways, let’s move on. Fill out a form to become a member of an unpaid focus group.”

Thanks for the screenshot

Unlucky, didn't see this until after I clicked. The new default for posts about reddit here on Lemmy should be that any links are just screenshots or archived versions or something

I anticipate in the future that that mods will be required to fill out weekly TPS reports. However, if you only have one subreddit you're moderating, please use up the old cover sheets. If you're moderating two or more subreddits, please use the new cover sheet. Did you get the memo on this? I'll send you a copy of the memo.

At this point, I fully expect reddit to ask the mods to pay a subscription to maintain their mod status in the future.

Once the floodgate of bad decisions has started, it's not really possible to stop it.

Just came from Reddit. Still testing it out.

What a trainwreck of a thread

OP:

This community filters comments from anyone who isn’t a mod of an active community with more than 50 subscribers. [...]

Yep, you're right. It should be disclosed on the sidebar. We won't do it right now for obvious reasons, but will have this updated before the next post.

So we're witnessing a thread of angry mods being angry, OP is cherry picking comments and still can't manage to listen to them.

write me a tone deaf, mealy mouthed, corporate doublespeak screed that completely ignores everything that’s happened for the last month. Be sure and add lots of bullshit about how we will now “listen to mods” and have useless meetings every month.

LMAO I literally fed your prompt into ChatGPT adding only last month WITH REDDIT and the result is...well I'll let you decide for yourself:

I really thought I'd have a harder time leaving, it hasn't been bad at all. Maybe a day of habit and then poof, I'm free.

What are you upset about? $0/hr is a generous salary.

Right!? I strait up heard in my head:

Um, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9:00, that would be great. Mm-Kay?

I think Reddit got caught off guard by the mod issue, but were in too deep in trying to kill third party apps to do anything about it.

That we're in the third week of July and Reddit hasn't gotten back to normal must be hard for them to understand.
