Wait...the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset...but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?
Yep. The idea that Reddit Admin did this to nullify the blackout was suspect from the start. Why would it only be on r/AdviceAnimals? Lol
People are mad at Reddit right now and we're looking for any reason to confirm their bias and run away with their narrative.
Well good for them, they can have a lot of fun paying reddit staff to be the mods now.
I'll watch spez digg this grave. I'm not shocked, we have all seen it happen before.
This place feels real, and personally that's all that matters. Reddit has been plastic for a while now. I'm happy to watch the ceo handle it like such a stooge, it almost seems like he wants to tank the company before tencent eats it all up.
Oof, not a good look. We'll have to watch more of the larger subs to see if this happens to them too.
It isn't surprising at all, it's about hard money not about communities and fuzzy warm feelings. It seems everyone is working hard down at Reddit to make as much money as they can out of an IPO for a zombified carcass.
It's a 2 day blackout for god's sake, and it's nearly at the end of it! Was it really necessary to do that?
Not going back. Disgusting behaviour.
The way things are going R*ddit is going to become what Digg is today - a minimalist editor run link agreggator
Welp, I'm officially never going back to reddit, might as well start deleting my account now...
Keep the blackout going. Even if they boot mods and reopen subs, donβt visit. I wonder how much traffic/revenue they have lost so far.
Have fun paying for moderation or have Spam running rampant. That won't get you out of the red numbers, spez. Just fuel for the fire.
Gee, what a surprise that everyone called last week. Of course Reddit admins are booting uncooperative mods in favor of those that will un-private their subs, they have zero reason to be loyal to mods protesting against them. And they're actively losing advertising revenue for each sub that's dark.
The real way to protest this is to delete your Reddit account and never look back. Monthly active users is the only statistic that will force them to backtrack on any of the API pricing changes, and loads of people that have moved to Lemmy are actively using both platforms.
Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.
Duuuuuude they didn't wait long did they? And they attack r/adviceanimals, one of the core subs, even though it isn't one of the defaults anymore.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Huffman brings back r/jailbait. The fucking dirty paedo.
And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.
So we can expect the mods of bigger subreddits to also lose their permissions? How will the admins manage to moderate 8k subs?
Fuck u/spez
Does that mean they're unmoderated now? r/worldpolotics here we come!
It was a matter of time before the admins started doing this. Fuck Spez, you piece of shit
