People all over reddit have been removed about supermods and the concentration of power forever. This is what reddit wants, this is the way they become filled with qultists. Easily manipulated, stupid, profitable, and valuable to the next billionaire who wants their own media outlet.
That’s why the CEO was pushing the importance of shipping their own mod tools on deadline. My guess is that there will be more automated moderation like Facebook uses.
After r/antiwork blew itself up on Fox News, one guy started r/workreform. Many of the r/antiwork crowd of users moved over there, looking for a more rational take.
The sub was overrun, 500k new users in a handful of days, and admin were cracking down on rule breaking comments (which totally weren’t astroturfed). The admin demanded the sub creator appoint power mods. The admin would not let him run democratic elections to find mods from within the community.
The power mods talked the creator into giving them more and more power. Before he knew it, they had full access and kicked the creator from the sub’s mod team. They told him something along the lines of “I thought you understood, this sub is now a part of our projects”.
The sub creator went on to make r/workers_revolt, however that never really went anywhere. Meanwhile, r/workreform became another powermod curated garden.
