If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users
That’s insane he really thinks the content and subreddit who were create by the community for the community and is being moderated by the community is his. Not only that, he basically say that mods are sucker’s and he will find new one to do his job for free.
I really hope reddit will die now so it will always be his legacy. What an idiot
Not only that, but mods are not a “one size fits all” group. A mod for r/gaming is not going to automatically fit in on an arts and craft sub. Though I guess it make sense; CEOs behave the exact same way, jumping between industries without regard for what product or service they are actually selling.
Not just preparing, it’s happening. I’m sure everyone’s heard about r/pics and r/gifs opening but only posting John Oliver, but here are some links to other mod posts for some subreddits that have been forced to reopen (some of them make for fairly depressing reading):
- r/steam forced to reopen or lose their subreddit
- r/tall again forced to reopen under threat of being removed as mods, users are posting John Longiver pics
- r/watchpeopledieinside forced to reopen but will keep pushing for change
- r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen
- r/theyknew forced to reopen but only if the first image in every post is a protest image
- r/horny is now a “christian minecraft server”
- r/scams forced to reopen but are changing their policies to deliberately mod more aggressively and slowly.
- r/iphone is posting only pics of Tim Cook “looking dashing”.
- /r/steam is getting steamy. Some users are blowing their safeties, but the sub seems to be on board with posting things relating to steam, and steam engines.
And the crazy part is, that wasn’t even encouraged by the subreddit mods first. Users have taken it upon themselves to protest reopening in the only way that makes sense right now: malicious compliance.
r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen
So, reddit promotes piracy an child porn (u/spez mod of r/jailbait)
Next step mods should make their subreddits NSFW, so they don’t show on r/all and r/popular
/r/iPhone is posting pics of Tim Cook
Awesome, added
Huffman argued this week that Reddit is a business, telling NPR “it’s time we grow up and behave like an adult company.”
First sign to be a grown up company is to tackle major changes with an appropiate timeline and get feedback from the community that helped you get where you are now. Also, if you really want to kill 3rd party apps, be transparent and say it instead of setting ridicule high prices and pretending those are market numbers.
Huffman has also said that the protests have had little impact on the company financially.
Yet there he is, forcing subreddits to reopen and giving interviews to major tech outlets daily.
What a clown.
I encourage everyone to not give up, Reddit has started a war on the internet
abandon reason know only war
