(media.kbin.social)
📢EDIT: a_knife just removed ALL OTHER MODS!
Original starbucks post by accused inactive mod a_knife
Post about what ACTUALLY happened
Proof of only active mods agreeing to go private
Proof that a_knife doesn't even MOD the sub they made the unilateral decision to reopen
Proof of a_knife removing a mod
Funny thing is, Reddit will likely boot the 3 of them, and make a_knife top mod, which is DIRECTLY AGAINST their claims to remove any mods making unilateral decisions, because of course, it only applies if that unilateral decision is to go private. Spread the word
The thin veneer of deniability that it's not Admin themselves acting unilaterally to sabotage protest actions.
Sure, they can. But they're also trying to posture like they "wouldn't" do that. Reddit is wanting to present themselves to users and to the press as if they're being noble and reasonable and definitely support the right of protestors to protest, they want the optics of being a platform that supports autonomy for their communities and members in that way.
If they're openly going around interfering and telling everyone upset to pound sand, they're buying more terrible press.
