MODERATORS
"In a pinned message on r/funny, the biggest subreddit to go private before recently reopening, a moderator implored Reddit “to listen to its moderators, its contributors, and its everyday users” and asked it to “not tacitly enable bad actors by working against your volunteers.” r/Apple also recently reopened after being closed out of fears that it would be forcibly reopened. “We want the best for this community and have no choice but to open it back up — or have it opened for us,” a moderator wrote. Another r/Apple mod is resigning in protest of Reddit’s actions."
Imagine having no spine, except that 1 mod (kudos to that person).
Why even bother to blackout if you are gonna bulge after the first threat?
Do even the subs themselves thought that 48 hours was enough to do something? Can someone be that naive?
I thought the subs were actually gonna abide by what the community wants?
How is opening up helping the community when you voted to be down indefinitely just 1 day ago? It is actively screwing them because it shows Reddit is right.
Following it up with a pinned message telling how you still not agree, b*tch please.
Just stop with the posturing then and bend over for Reddit already.
It is like an abusive relationship. Just imagine how much time these mods spend on those subs. How much effort they've put in. I don't fault some of them for not being able to walk away or be unable to bear handing the keys over to a bad actor.
I fully understand that. Plus, there would be no way of organizing what I had mentioned anyway. I just sucks seeing this guy lie, and tear down these communities and quite frankly, escapes for a lot of people.
I saw a comment on r/eyebleach asking them not to go private again, because they like to browse it when they're feeling down... all because of greedy ass hats.
