Reddit admin doesn’t need an explanation, or justification. They’ll do it anyway.
In case you missed what happened to r/MildlyInteresting, Reddit has declared war on the mods.
I know, but I want them see justifying taking their mod privileges away because it has became an NSFW sub. It just sounds extremely rediculus to be doing that to a sub literally named "r/anime_titties"
That’s the thing they’re already stopped trying to justify. Why bother with that when you can lock a mod out of their mod account?
Or they could ignore the sub. It's just one sub going NSFW, they don't have to deal with them all equally
Sure, absolutely that they COULD, just like they could have made an exception for Apollo/rif/etc with the API pricing (even for just one year).
@zekiz if you read the modcoord message sent by admins, they argue that if users are used to seeing sfw there and suddenly see nsfw it's bad. Which could mean that a_t would not be complying with these guidelines I assume.
Look at those goalposts go!
sure is nice to be an admin in a corpo site where the rules of social ethics don't apply, bet they're glad they can screw over everyone, knowingly and openly, and not even get a scratch, but even raises and promotions
What happened to r/MildlyInteresting? Haven't opened Reddit since June 12th
They're removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.
Maybe they will replace the volunteer mods with people who get paid for their labor.
/s
Legit that would depend on how cheap the labor was and how long they need to pay them. Like shitty pay outsource labor to keep up appearances for a week or two could be a thing.
The plan could be to get IPO then dump stock before anyone realizes the entire mod team depends on Google translate.
Would be hilarious if Google charged them for the use of their translating services.
Shells, Shills and Boughts
Shells, Shills, Boughts, and Bots
They forcibly removed (and banned, at least in some cases) the mods. It's really wild.

They are free to cut off their nose to spite their own face
They are going to burn their house to the ground before they IPO and then get crushed at the open.
