Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"
This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
Does that mean they're unmoderated now? r/worldpolotics here we come!
If someone were angry about what they're doing (not me, I've been through this so many times on so many sites that I'm apathetic) they could definitely put a coordinated effort into filling the subs that admins take over with anime titties to prove a point.
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.
This was inevitable, unfortunately.
So we can expect the mods of bigger subreddits to also lose their permissions? How will the admins manage to moderate 8k subs?
Its more probably. Some will collapse as soon as the third party tools shut down, because they are basically unmoderated, but the tools and bots are so well managed that they keep shit from going downhill, that's especially true for a lot of smaller subs.
The fact that they need to work their asses to accomplish this makes me happy... Not the part of recovering control for sure.
