All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

They should move to a differwnt instance. Ohh wait they cant lol.
This boggles the mind on two levels:
- Who the hell pays for Reddit upmods?
- If the point is to convince other Redditors to pay for something scammy, who the hell parts with any amount of money on the basis of something posted on Reddit?
Mods should be paid through official channels, for the same reason legislators should be (and are) paid. It’s a lot easier to bribe someone who’s desperate.
That applies to Lemmy, too, although I don’t really know who’d pay them.
Honestly UBI would fix so much.
Legislators get paid really well but they still take “lobbying expenses” and “donations” in exchange for votes and bills. Getting rid of Citizens United and setting up a proper nonpartisan anti corruption enforcement agency is still absolutely necessary to prevent this from happening.
I used to sub to that community before had to jump ship. Because it devolved in ask how to fix this and that why is this not working shit. But I am kinda surprised that a person would pay another person to get their posts to the top… Kind of makes you wonder what other subs are doing the same thing and not getting caught or swept under the rug.
