Some news, tidying up the sub and mod applications.

submitted by ulfw2019power tripper from self.WatchRedditDie

First - if you haven't heard, the ban wave has started over on Reddit, a list can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/hi43c3/list_of_subs_that_have_been_banned_today/

Second - I'd like to take on some new moderators in anticipation of the increase in traffic once WRD eventually gets banned. If you'd like to apply to become a mod, fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/GMng5GYwdY995cuu6

Thirdly - I'd like to promote active posting and discussion on here, as comments are not being filtered automatically like they are on r/WatchRedditDie.

thanks, u/ulfw2019

Hopefully this site can get some good traffic with the ban wave, seems to have potential as a good replacement.

Yeah hopefully, there's also WRD on Ruqqus, although it's crashed with all the traffic from Reddit. It has 3100 members, don't know if there are any mods there from the OG sub, or which sub will be the 'main' one going forward when the original gets banned.

Ruqqus has been down all day

I'm thinking I may have made a mistake putting my money on ruqqus with the r/WRD automod message and general promotion. This place seems more stable and well-positioned.

Ruqqus ended up abandoning free speech and then shutting down when the admins realized they weren't going to get away with doing a 180 that fast.

Maybe you can add SaidIt back to the automod comments, since Ruqqus can't keep it up. Or just link to /r/redditalternatives

I'm not a mod on the original sub, but I sent a message to u/ThomasJeffersonMod and he added it. I'm u/PowerfulUlf on Reddit.

I've reclaimed my original name here. I'm also going to update the WRD automod to push for saidit above ruqqus.

Is there an app for this site? Edit: Nevermind, found it.

I don't think we need more mods.

What makes you say that?

  1. Theres not much content on this subs /new/ to warrant more moderators.

  2. We don't have a bunch of rules imposed by the admins that we need moderators to enforce all the posts/comments to adhere to, like you did on Reddit.
