Wouldn't technically moving from hosting communities to having such a heavy involvement in their management be against the safe harbour protection?

Anecdotally, every interaction I or many friends had with IBM left a "is this the 90s" taste.
It feels super disorganized but it's still a big corp, "simple" dev position hard require a degree (like, their system just wouldn't let a friend submit their application because they didn't press the checkmark lol) - usually it's not a hard requirement in our local market. I'm still waiting 5 years later for the VP of the BU I was interviewing at to return from his vacation to "approve my hire" LOL (for all concerned I found work at a different company... But still amusing to think about that guy spending 5 years in vacation...).

Just examples, but feels like there's some internal process/management failures higher up the food chain. Their devs create pretty innovative things, then nothing is actually done with that lol.

Anecdotal: my neighbors entryway is recessed, and as so happens to be like 20 meters away from a window on the second floor of my house. There's a ton of vegetation between us, but even if people are whispering there - I can hear it like they are right next to me. Especially when they are screaming at their kids to "be quiet"🫠.
It's possible that your neighbor found some spot where sound from your house travels to. Do you normally take phone calls in a specific area of the house? Vs where you usually have guests over?

I've watched it 3 times, once me and friends watched the disaster artist and the room right after. (For the loorrrreee)

I can genuinely say that the room is much better than the disaster artist lol.

Cat: look at me, I'm the baby now

I... Don't think they realize how much work mods do, to both cultivate the community in their subs and to keep them from become a cesspool of society.

I say just let spez mod a spicy subreddit like WSB or dataisbeautiful. You haven't seen adult individuals decend to throwing feces at one another until they start arguing about the appropriate scale for a graph. Or one of the truecrime subs like TrueCrimeDiscussion, where every comment hidden 40 comments deep can be a dox. 🤣

An interesting point about this, is that previously when people would try to gain control over subs with inactive mods the admins would drag their feet as much as possible. (I'm part of a sub where it took almost a year via several requests for the group of new mods to gain ownership of the sub).
But now some fee-fees got hurt and admins go nuclear and removes mods at lightspeed...

I'd imagine that would be offset by all the people who are redditing much less because most of the subs they frequent are private?
