Correction: a minimum of 25k non terrorists!
I think Perl is closer to Esperanto - the vast majority of people will never want to learn it and the people that know it won’t stfu about how everyone should use it! And they could all use a shower!
(I kid… Mostly)
At least in a bar people have the excuse of being drunk
Ahhh, right. I suck at geography
Wait, hold up, what? I assume they occupy a country adjacent to Brazil?
Oh, that’s clever for some painting practice!
Just keep it at 0 honestly
I really don’t understand why PolyMC forked… Multi MC still has several third party mod packs available
Wait, what happened to Multi MC? I still use it whenever the want to play modded Minecraft returns
Not ending a sentence with a preposition is a stupid and meaningless rule. Everyone does it. Language has moved on. Get over it.
Hell, I’d be surprised if he’s read more than the Berenstain Bear on audio book
Apologies,
Owners and managers have no empathy, morals, or brains.
Sorry, my US brain was assuming only US people again!
Though yalls owners class frequently does want to be exactly like the US owners class. Don’t think I haven’t noticed the sharp rise in barely-not-fascist and outright fascist parties in Europe! And the middle east has been run by fascists for decades thanks to the US and various European powers.
Basically we all suck, some just suck less and slower

Yeah, that’s going on my list of shit to maybe steal later…
See, you have morals and empathy.
Most managers and owners don’t.
As a former mod, in my experience it was more having a place to engage a community, and helping that community grow and improve. Reddit being a million dollar company when I started and a billion dollar company when I left didn’t really factor in. If you have a site split up into a million little communities, you need moderators that can have intimate knowledge of each community they oversee, and that’s unreasonable for a company of any size to do in house. Otherwise you have Facebook style moderation where it’s just plain dreadful no matter where you are.
Additionally, it really matters what sized sub you modded.
I modded mostly smaller subs, one big one for a while, and a default for 2 weeks. I put a lot of effort into the smaller subs, especially when it was just a few people whose usernames I recognized posting. I had little jokes hidden around, some cool CSS stuff, and some automated tasks. It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple hours a week. I didn’t mind it.
The big sub I was on mostly through mutuals. I was known to be pretty decent with automod scripting, so I got brought in to deal with never ending spam. I would update the automod and check queue every couple days, no biggie. Then the rest of the mods all drifted offline, leaving me alone to either let the sun die or to try and maintain the damned thing.
I maintained it near single handedly for like 2 years. It was mostly adding more and more to automod, but a lot was manual approvals and deletions. It sucked and sapped all the fun out of an activity I used to enjoy. Wasn’t the worst, but I wouldn’t have joined in the first place had I known why would happen.
Default subs are a different beast entirely. They don’t even use automod half the time. All of them have custom bots that link either a slack or discord, and everything is run externally through there. I decided to dip when I asked how tf all their tools worked and got refered to almost a damn knowledge base. That truly seemed awful and like it needed to be done by dedicated and paid employees.
Anyways, this comment spiraled, so sorry about that.
Oh man, I used to see you around constantly. I believe you posted about your methods at one point and I started following them. Hunted down quite a few bots as well!
For the subs I modded, my main strategy was to just ban any NameName or NameName## accounts that could post, and remove any comments from them that were super short or contained a link. That cut down on a ton of those assholes.
I actually got to talk in person with one of the admins at Reddit in charge of spam prevention. I basically gave the bastard a lecture in all the ways the spammers were spamming and scamming. Got told they’d follow up with me soon for more. Never got that follow up and I gave up caring once the API changes went through. I actually deleted all my anti bot code from the subs, but they’re still all private anyways
I’m gonna second Zenni here. Even my grandmother who wears glasses so thick we’re trying to take her license away can order her lenses from them for like $30 with shipping
