I’ll say it every time: it’s their platform, their servers, their choice. However, we owe them nothing. If they want to go it alone, we need to let them. Let them hire paid moderators and we should delete our content so they have to create their own.

We built the communities there, we can do it again elsewhere. We have the expertise and the desire.

You MUST re-open the community you helped build over the years for free so that we can earn BIG monies on teh ads!! Make us monies for FREE slave!! We pay you NUTHIN! You work hard for USSSS!!!! Work when WE tell you too!!!!!! foaming at the mouth with rage

Step 1: open the sub.

Step 2: make every member a moderator.

Step 3: watch the world burn.

Man Reddit is really trying to push a narrative of big bad mean mods, never mentioning they're unpaid and being ignored while doing a shitload of labor

Absolute garbage way to treat people. Foreshadowing for how reddit, and probably other places, plan to treat the communities they so love to claim credit for.

That Google exec's comments along with the Apple showcase of Apollo must have reddit leadership shitting their pants.

So much for the protest having "no effect".

I deleted 9 years worth of user content, across 5 different reddit accounts. Followed by CCPA "Delete My Data" demands, on each account.

It's almost as if, a large majority of reddit users are spineless, or consider their useless internet clout points more valuable than a small sense of morality...

A temporary blackout is not a protest compared to this method.

For those wondering... TamperMonkey browser add-on with RedditHistorySanitizer userscript (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code). It's kinda slow, but much faster than doing it manually!

I hope more communities think of migrating to other places instead of staying on reddit. It's getting worse with each passing day.

The sheer of panic in Snoo Platform, Inc. means that protest and blackout work.

IPO blackout looks even more good now.

Can't wait for Monday!

I'd like to kick Spez in the not stay privates.

The mods make the community. I have modded a few subs and it is a pain to do well, so I stopped doing it. I have definitely had issues with mods (who hasn't), but if large numbers of the good ones leave Reddit is screwed.

Whoa! Negative 1 comments!
