It's easy for them to attack the remaining subreddits when half of reddit, bent the knee at the slightest threat of having mod powers removed. Imagine how hard it would have been to do this if a majority of subreddits had stuck together.
Yes there’s an element of people not wanting to lose their power. But for every dickhead powermod there are dozens of small subreddits with a handful of people working hard to establish and maintain a community, largely altruistically and thanklessly.
Modding, when it’s done well by dedicated people with a passion for their subject, can be incredibly powerful. There are some communities (eg legaladvice, askhistorians) that are unique and just couldn’t exist without those people dedicating untold hours to tending to them to prevent them from descending into chaos. Not to mention the custom tools almost all of them rely on.
Have a read of Legaladviceuk announcement.
More than half the subs are modded by the same handful of power mods. No way they would give that up, they’re probably government run accounts anyway.
That was some weak ass protest anyway. Let's protest for just 2 days! No wonder Steve Huffman just gloated about it all over and even called the mods "landed gentry"
Reddit: "we will make up whatever rules we want, whenever we want, so that we can keep funding the payments on our BMWs"
Normally, companies try and implement changes in their product in a diplomatic way, but I guess Reddit never got that memo.
Since when they have a rule to prevent SFW subs from turning into NSFW subs? Did they add the clause just recently?
spez and his jackbooted thugs are doing everything they can to burn reddit to the ground before July 1.
I like how you're in trouble for allowing NSFW posts in a sfw community, oh but also you're not allowed to mark things NSFW.
Typical dogshit from Reddit admins, holy shit it gets worse every day
This subreddit is unmoderated. Visit /r/redditrequest to request it.
Holly shit! I'm going to get some popcorn.
As one of the former mods, I am REALLY hoping someone turns it into a hate sub for Steven Kings acclaimed book and the not so acclaimed films.
You are free to do whatever you want with your subreddit as long as do do exactly the things we tell you to do
Stop giving them content for free, they are milking you like cows. That's why they are restoring your deleted content, because they are making cash out of your messages. Leave reddit behind and enter the fediverse.
This is becoming dystopian
All the more reason to never use reddit again, even if they revert the API pricing
What was the TIHI subreddit about? (I don't want to even go to reddit to find out. Blocked that site).
This is bullshit
A user on tildes describes how to go scorched earth for mods:
- Turn off all spam filtering
- Disable minimum karma requirements
- Allow all posts, disable all rules
- Unban all banned users
- Purge all allowed submitters
- Turn off AutoModerator, Scrub all configs
- Delete all CSS and uploaded images/maps
- Blank all sidebars, Delete all flairs
- Allow NSFW content, Enable sub's content on /all
- Set the sub's color scheme on mobile to something vomit-inducing
- Blank all of the text options such as the sub's topic listing
- Grab a copy of anything in the wikis worth saving
- Disable and permanently remove all third party mod tools and bots
- Invite all users to the moderation team with full comment/submission privs
- GDPR request for their own account data and then
- Use it to delete their accounts and all of their content
The options in bold, they have no defense for. That's where the pressure points lie. The rest they can cope with, but not those options, not if lots of subs and users go that route.
