This honestly sucks. Other subs reached out to their members to get feedback. Why is it that the mods simply decide what to do and make the rest of us no longer have a permanent place for discussions, memes, and everything PoE? This site is hardly a replacement, as not only does the UI suck but the number of participants is almost non-existent.
Represent?
Were they ever elected by the subs for the position? Were they working for us? Did they ever speak for us?
You seem to be mistaking a internet forum for a… democratic government, I guess?
Mods were just applying a set of rules to maintain order and a (minimum) of civility. It was up to reddit to maintain communities if they really wanted, and they simply gave everyone the finger.
You might want to read more about the whole afair, as the fact that all the blackouts seem to be “just a nuisance” made up by mods, and you had to come here to complain show that you did not really understand it.
Removed by mod
Your last sentence proves you don’t actually understand what’s going on.
The 3rd party developers actually agree that Reddit should charge for their API calls. What they, and many others, don’t agree with is the exorbitant pricing and timeframe they announced. They’re actions don’t speak of a company who actually cares for the community that the reason for it’s existence.
It’s a for-profit company. Again, I see no issues with their changes.
The way you react here just makes me more confident that its a good idea to close the subreddit permanently and make a new instance with less user here. you have zero issues with all those changes because you don’t spend volunteer hours for moderation and hence you definitely have less to say on that particular topic imo. Also it would be kind of cool to show some kind of cohesion instead of removed around here.
