Reddit Migration

Site Admin have opposed "vote out" mechanics since debuting subreddits, entirely in the understanding that as bad as the current system is - reducing it to rank populism would be worse and far easier for malicious actors to exploit. I vague recall Spez being vocal about that issue, years ago - how convenient he forgets all those opinions once it doesn't serve Reddit's interests to just ignore flaws in their mod system.

The best irony in all this is that he's determined that even minority dissent to participation in the protests warrants sweeping changes to facilitate - citing the importance of accommodating those perspectives - but massive dissent against reddit changes is a perspective he'll do anything to avoid even acknowledging, much less accommodating. Dissent really matters when he agrees with it, and we have a laundry list of excuses for why dissent he doesn't like simply doesn't count.
