user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.

    If he didn't say anything, this might very well have blown over.

    Instead he's inciting people to leave.

    Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular.

    We'll see how that goes. I can hear the foundry churning out the AI bots to outnumber the human users.

    He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable.

    Yeah right.

    Putting out the fire with gasoline.

    "reddit tikTok crowd" This is my distillation of what's going on too. They know what they are doing. They don't care. They will be fine. They are just changing their target audience and getting rid of the long-form text(!!!) boomers. :)
