So basically, Reddit wants you to work for free, to moderate content provided to them for free by users and if you don't do it the specific way they want you to they'll kick you?

sounds like a recipe for success

It's funny how Reddit rarely if ever has stepped in to reign in actual problematic mods in the past, instead just encouraging people to create their own subreddit if they don't like how it's being run.

But now, they suddenly change their tune, and spout this sentimental blather about how mods are "stewards" and "in a position of trust", and now they will solemnly respond with "next steps" if mods don't open these important communities. Their arguments are totally incoherent.

Crazy to think Reddit subs used to be a built by the people, for the people, with the ones who created it governing decisions. And here we are with the head honchos saying "Nah, we're just gonna take the reigns now". Shame.

Fantastic reply btw lmfao.

I still can't believe it

We never needed big tech. Today we need it even less.

I'm excited to see what we build.

Been on Lemmy for like 20 minutes.. seems legit. Really hope it takes off!

But guys they have a DUTY.

Fuck them

Cheers to being on the right side of history (I hope). Someone has to have standards.

"sent from sync on android "

The cherry on top lol

Onward and upward lads

Oh well. Fuck Spez. <3

Hmm being one of the mods of a. minor sub (only 640 subscribers) I also got the threat message and considered what to do.

I opened the sub up again, and (as it's a quite unimportant sub) will probably try to be the worst mod possible, to make that sub as unattractive as possible.

I still have a GDPR information request running - and will probably also send a deletion request. (But I want a list of all my posts and comments first to be able to validate they don't show up again, over the next years)

So, until my account is deleted I'll try to let the sub rot and decay.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

What sub was this?
