Will Reddit get quality replacements? "Not a snowball's chance in hell."

    I’m still technically a mod for a small subreddit. I polled the users, they weren’t interested in moving over to Lemmy.

    (Edit because prematurely posted)

    I’m still hoping they’ll move over, but tbh it’s a good bunch of posters on a niche subject and the mod team has never had to be too active. The topic had a been literally unmodded for years before the current mod team fell into it, so I’m confident we’re not needed.

    We’re literally just a placeholder to keep someone power mad from becoming mod. (Long story long: founding mod abandoned sub, came back after years, was mad the subreddit didn’t agree with his crap opinions, made the sub private, I and a few other posters made a new subreddit.)

        The problem is that there just isn’t an alternative for some communities (yet). For some things there’s ONE space to talk about it and/or a nice little helpful community.

        IMO it’s up to each person how they want to move forwards, and staying on in a limited capacity is a fair compromise. Another advantage being the community can later be redirected when users are ready.
