Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.

They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.

Not going back. Disgusting behaviour.

They can't just re-open subreddits and expect it to go over smoothly. These subs will collapse without moderators.

And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.

That's insane. I honestly thought it was solely romours, like Spez editing messages on behalf of others (which I still don't believe in)

Edit: I believe it now though.

Admins in /r/modsupport were breaking records last week to tell mods who had a dormant top mod come back and private the sub that they would “resolve the issue”. Then after saying that they didn’t do anything for a few days. Guess they are gonna start doing that to the big subs to reopen them.

Fuck Reddit. But honestly I’m less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and it’s already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.

Anybody have a link to this post? I can't find it in the user's page.

And of course the obligatory eff spez.

Keep the blackout going. Even if they boot mods and reopen subs, don’t visit. I wonder how much traffic/revenue they have lost so far.

"Memes are good formats for taking complex ideas, then condensing them into something that is easy to digest and distribute"

Wow... that guy actually thinks that you can use advice animals to convey complex ideas. I'm at a loss for words.

Definitely called this. All the right wing trolls on Reddit are salivating at the thought of turning this into a coup by hopping into top mod spots in exchange for licking boot tread. The outcome is pretty obvious.
