“Protest is still allowed… If we approve it.”
As I mentioned in another thread, about the same link, whoever is left moderating that shithole lacks dignity and care about the userbase to do anything.
Their is one site-wide protest they can all implement…
Not like the privating protests ever had much in the way of teeth anyway. The overwhelming majority of mods weren’t willing to actually leave, so it was just puffery. Any mod who was on reddit during the API protests and is still there has proven they will cave to whatever rules reddit throws at them.
This is the stupid part. I left and didn’t go back. I still end up there searching the odd problem online, but I don’t necessarily need it. The one sub I modded, when I was last checking, has had quite a bit of spam and self-promotion “watch my new YouTube video” shit going on. I wasn’t the only one doing anything on the team, as it was like 30k+ members, but it was alow traffic sub. But they don’t do the weekly discussion threads, the repost bots were rampant.
All to make more money. I don’t know why people stayed. All that huffing and puffing, just to cower and fold.
It’s spez and his board’s site now, and they’re making that very clear. It’s kind of sad that everyone keeps contributing their time for free to a company that hates them.
Well duh, it hits their bottom line now when mods black-out major subs in protest.
But yall already know that…
Take your permanent ban and like it!
