If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users
That’s insane he really thinks the content and subreddit who were create by the community for the community and is being moderated by the community is his. Not only that, he basically say that mods are sucker’s and he will find new one to do his job for free.
I really hope reddit will die now so it will always be his legacy. What an idiot
Not just preparing, it’s happening. I’m sure everyone’s heard about r/pics and r/gifs opening but only posting John Oliver, but here are some links to other mod posts for some subreddits that have been forced to reopen (some of them make for fairly depressing reading):
- r/steam forced to reopen or lose their subreddit
- r/tall again forced to reopen under threat of being removed as mods, users are posting John Longiver pics
- r/watchpeopledieinside forced to reopen but will keep pushing for change
- r/piracy’s top mods have been demoted to force them to reopen
- r/theyknew forced to reopen but only if the first image in every post is a protest image
- r/horny is now a “christian minecraft server”
- r/scams forced to reopen but are changing their policies to deliberately mod more aggressively and slowly.
- r/iphone is posting only pics of Tim Cook “looking dashing”.
