Last week Reddit proposed a program called Adopt-an-Admin where one of the suits joins your mod team to “build empathy” with the unpaid interns.
Just reading the details on this stuff is kind of fun, one of the only reasons I still go. r/modsupport, r/modnews, r/modhelp. The popcorn never really went away, it just evolves.
They’ve got insane persona non gratas blowing up their mod mail, moderator coups, their own posts get wacked by the automod. Fun stuff.
that’s actually pretty rich. I’m glad they leave these subs open and that there’s people who’ve seen how shitty it is inside. definitely alleviates my own angst for how bad it declined over the last decade
