@pzmyers Did you know Glen Beck is still alive? Or at least wikipedia[citation needed] claims he still is. Technically speaking.
I'm told Lou Dobbs isn't dead yet either, although I haven't tried very hard to confirm it.
Turns out deplatforming works. Who knew?

Why do people take on moderation work for free at all?
There are good and bad reasons: A maniacal desire for power, caring about a community and wanting it to work, feeling important and useful, a desire to hurt or help people capriciously.
That all makes sense, but I think there is something more going on. Something fundamental to the way people form communities. It's like helping a neighbor, keeping an eye on local kids playing, cleaning trash from the park near your apartment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Atlanta, June 9, 2023] – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing a public health advisory urging individuals to remain vigilant and adopt preventive measures to protect themselves and their communities from the highly contagious woke mind virus, which has raised concerns regarding cognitive and intellectual well-being. Recent evidence suggests that this virus may also be transmitted through cat girl litter boxes, necessitating additional caution and awareness.
The CDC's primary mission is to safeguard public health and provide trustworthy guidance to promote well-being. The emergence of the highly contagious woke mind virus, which differs from traditional infectious diseases, requires prompt attention and proactive measures. The CDC strongly encourages individuals to incorporate the following preventive measures into their daily routines:
- Wear Masks: Properly wearing masks that cover the nose and mouth remains an effective barrier against the transmission of infectious agents. In addition to reducing the spread of COVID-19, masks can significantly mitigate the risk of exposure to the highly contagious woke mind virus. Wearing masks consistently in public settings offers an added layer of protection. 2. Practice Hand Hygiene: Thoroughly washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content is crucial to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. Regular hand hygiene reduces the likelihood of exposure to the woke mind virus, including potential contaminants from cat girl litter boxes. 3. Stay Informed: Stay updated on reliable sources of information related to public health. Misinformation and the spread of unfounded claims can contribute to the transmission of the woke mind virus. Rely on trusted sources such as the CDC, World Health Organization (WHO), and local health authorities to obtain accurate information.
While the woke mind virus is still being researched to better understand its nature and transmission, early indications suggest that critical thinking, open dialogue, and exposure to diverse perspectives may serve as effective countermeasures. Engaging in respectful conversations and promoting empathy can help combat the negative effects of this phenomenon.
Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, Director of the CDC, emphasizes the criticality of maintaining public health practices. "Protecting the health and well-being of individuals is our utmost priority. The highly contagious woke mind virus presents unique challenges that necessitate collective action and personal responsibility. By wearing masks, practicing hand hygiene, and staying informed, we can strengthen our communities against infectious diseases, including this novel phenomenon."
The CDC will continue to closely monitor the situation and collaborate with experts in various fields to better understand and address the potential risks associated with the highly contagious woke mind virus. Protecting public health remains the CDC's core mission, and the organization will continue providing evidence-based guidance to safeguard individuals and communities.
For more information, please visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov or contact the CDC Media Relations office at media@cdc.gov.

Dear language designers. Don't ever put "simplicity" as an explicit goal of your design. Because nobody deliberately designs their language to be complicated, right? So how simple (or not) it ends up to be is a side effect of all the compromises you took about your actual goals.

If you're wondering what, specifically, is in those documents, I've worked out what 7 (of 31) of them probably are here, and why Trump kept them (it's pretty bad).
Slowly going through the rest.

So, the inner loop of “What the Heck is happening with Reddit?” is this:
They appear to be getting all their ducks in a row to prepare for an IPO, which means shutting down all the 3rd parties that have (in Reddit’s view) been siphoning away advertisement eyeballs.
But
Reddit’s official app has been so garbage for so long for moderating, that many moderators relied on third party apps. For years.
The changes also rugpulled many other community developed anti-abuse efforts.
So, a boycott.
