minus-squareComment105@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·1 year agoAh yes, the best kind of charity work. Moderating r/funny
minus-squaremagnetosphere@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoYes. When volunteers work for free to filter the content that reddit owns, reddit’s product becomes more valuable.
