It is! It’s unfortunate that Duolingo killed the volunteer program.
I can’t even see comments on lessons anymore. There was one Brazilian dude named Paulenrique who would answer anyone’s questions about quirks of the language and now all his efforts to help people are just gone.
Yeah there were lots of people in the Italian comments who did the same thing. It was invaluable. Now all that work is gone. It’s frustrating. I cancelled my super Duolingo subscription over that.
Yeah, tons of helpful tips on actual natives chiming in, just gone. It’s a shame.
It’s because they didn’t connect for 7 days… A warning to the other students.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever moderated anything volunteer based but… honestly you can’t give the internet anything nice.
But then why did they get rid of the comments that were old, locked, and useful? Sometimes it feels like Duolingo cares less and less about whether or not people learn languages. It’s not surprising, but unfortunate.
I’m not saying it was the ideal thing, I’m saying people mostly suck and moderating something sucks a lot less when you can fire the person who decided to say “pinche tu madre” meant “have a nice day.”
