Two IMO on-point excerpts of the article:

The highest-ranked replies are very critical of the post. “What good is our feedback when reddit seems perfectly happy to ignore all of it?” wrote one user. “What’s the point?” Another pointed out that Huffman called mods “landed gentry.” “Show, don’t tell,” wrote another user — to which the admin replied, “Agreed.”

“A beginning of what?” replied one user. “This solves nothing, and just wastes everybody’s time.”

Reddit's administration is sounding more and more like an abusive SO trying to gaslight you into staying in the relationship. "Baby I'll listen to you, I swear."

So, we’ve all had a... time on Reddit lately,” said the admin. “And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been tested, and begin the ‘now what?’ conversation.”

I love how they're just acting like they've just had an argument and now it's over and they're ready to move on after changing absolutely nothing.

It's like being verbally abused at home and you walk out, come back the next day and your partner is like "glad you got that out of your system" and expecting you to go back to "normal" without any sort of apology.

Argument with who even? We all are over here, having already left!? :-P

There comes a point where those that choose to remain are just asking for it, maybe?

The 95% of people who didn't have the good sense to leave

Because admins can see that that is exactly how it works. The mods who are angry in that thread (as well as the majority mods who weren't even participating in it) all still continue to let themselves be abused by continuing their mod services on reddit.

At this point there really isn't any excuse for continuing being a mod on reddit, no matter how angry their posts in that particular thread are.
