Will this undermine most of what makes IAmA special? Probably. But Reddit leadership has all the funds they need to hire people to perform those extra tasks we formerly undertook as volunteer moderators, and we’d be happy to collaborate with them if they choose to do so.
This is what makes Lemmy amazing. “You’re a mod who wants to get paid? Yeah join the club, we’re losing money on server costs.”
Yeah the unfortunate reality is that irl the system we live in still stucks. But as you said that’s precisely what makes the people willing to put all this together, in spite of the difficulties, so special. It’s like an anti profit motive lol.
