      I guess laziness and habit will lead to passiveness and desire to stick with the safety of “proven solutions”. The decisions of the mods would not matter if the normal users started leaving en mass. Sadly this would not happen, or maybe it’s a blessing in disguise, lemmy and kbin are much more reminiscent of the old Internet for me, which is something that I have missed.

      The important thing is that we are here, I really hope everyone of us will do their best to make of the fediverse something better, compated to the platforms of the big, greedy corporations.

      Makes me wonder what they are getting out of it. I mean if it is just volunteer work, the job goes to shit, the company you are volunteering your time with threatens you, why not drop it and take it to another platform where you would be appreciated.

      Maybe they have a good reason to cave. But I can’t see it and my naivety just makes me think they are getting kickbacks somewhere somehow.

    get back to unpaid work or else!!!

    Weak ass protest if mods just cave… I’d be like go for it fuckers… I mean you aren’t going to pay someone and just placing random folks in that position without the mod tools necessary to do the unpaid job is really going to implode.
