It's interesting how during numerous examples of users trying to fight mod teams over changing direction of the sub, new rules, unwanted new mods etc., and getting admins involved, the answer was ALWAYS the same "Subs are owned by their creators/mods. If you don't like it you can always create a new one".

Suddenly they belong to communieties? Communities that in numerous examples voted by themselves to stay closed? How absolutely full of shit they are...

Just start deleting every comment that isn’t hate speech.

I thought most mods asked their communities what they'd like to the mods to do. In which case they are already doing what the communities have asked.

I just deleted three of my reddit accounts. I am done. As an artist, I have more work to do on my primary current account. I feel I should delete my art from reddit so that they can not make money from my art and music.

What is reddit smoking? This message is so out of touch

It's pretty obvious that reddit needs these communities. But these communities don't need Reddit, clearly.

Can’t wait to see Reddit crash and burn

Honestly, mods should just force the issue and make Reddit replace them. It's going to be a big problem if Reddit needs to find new moderators for hundreds if not thousands of subreddits. And that's assuming all the new moderators will play along and not immediately join the protest, go on a tyrannical power trip, or just go dark after a few weeks.

Why would anyone even want to be a mod right now? It's like your boss threatening to fire you from a job you're not paid for while the building is actively on fire.

In short, you will be replaced.

I got the same one yesterday.

At this point I'm cheering for reddit to keep going as they are so the migration keeps on going too.

High five!! We got the exact same message at the exact same time!!🥳🥳

Yeah this type of stuff brought me Lemmy.

What short sighted assholes

Reddit admin seem to be under the very mistaken impression that the passive viewers are the source of Reddit's success. Creating and modding a sub is a labor of love, and people who have the love, time, and patience to do it well are a tiny minority of Reddit's users. When they alienate mods, Reddit dies.

Well good! They can pay to mod everything then! Should be easy when everyone is gone or posting the new Lemmy community that is taking overr.

It's ridiculous that they are referring to the protest as a "break". Are they that dilusional?

The only way to win is to not play (being a mod at reddit)

Also got one on the only sub I used to mod a couple of hours ago 🙃

Fuck Reddit

I got one too

"Subreddits belong to the community of users". Followed by "a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available... which is it?? lol

I really hope Reddit dies a slow painful death, it's already mostly bots talking with each other in the main subs. They got too greedy and think they're so large their sh* don't stink. Apologize for the crass, but man I just hope we get more major blunders and fuckups from spez&co
