Reddit invites mods to “feedback” conversations with the admins (www.theverge.com)

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."

pad the numbers

Which is exactly why they're running /r/place again tomorrow: they've lost traffic and the need to pad the numbers so they expect (probably rightfully) that /r/place will give them numbers to offset their losses.

Of course, they're going to totally ignore the image that comes out of /r/place, which is probably going to be "API - fuck /u/spez". Or maybe they'll invite xQc and his cult to grief the instance again. Or do the thing where admins can ignore the rate limits again.
