Reddit acting as it they made these communities themselves, not that those mods came up with the concepts and then nurtured those communities over years
Spez said in an interview I saw a few minutes ago that they would not be forcing subs open. Do you mean to tell me Spez – Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit – is a liar? Who woulda thunk it?
This strikes me more as “this is literally what the rules say” rather than being targeted at anything specific. It would be insane to start actually ousting mods across the entire site for a couple days of a pre-planned, short-lived blackout. The community already seems to be angrily demanding the mods reopen, and most have reopened anyway, so there is nothing Reddit admins actually have to do.
really? i was part of the biggest wrestling forum on the planet and that’s gone, possibly for good. that’s a big deal for a niche interest but everyone i’ve seen or interacted with is fine migrating to discord and the kbin. the only issue is what to do about the archive.
It’s not getting as much discussion time around these parts but Discord seems like its gonna be the true reddit successor. Honestly, this makes me sad because Discord feels like jumping into a stream of consciousness.

Not disagreeing that the masses will likely flock to it due to brand recognition and such …
But man does that make me sad too… Really hate how locked down Discord is in comparison (like you can’t even browse content without a login and using from the browser is painful compared to using a client). Add in their past (and possibly present) privacy issues and the fact that like Reddit, they are also a centralized site run by another greedy company and I feel like this is yet another recipe for disaster (albeit one that might take awhile to fully materialize)
Meh. Anyone who continues to use reddit and browse those communities, many of which voted to go dark in the first place, deserves whatever reddit serves them.
hoping they don’t remove me. i temporary privated my sub for mental health reasons because people were getting mad at me for joining the protest when i was opening back up
i made my sub during a very rough time in my life and i’d rather not lose it. i’ve been thinking about alternate ways of protesting but idk right now.
That’s not the attitude of someone who’s confident that his flock will come back.
So the admins that were okay with u/awkwardtheturtle being a powermod are now just all of a sudden serious about quickly enforcing rules against protesting mods?
Well kbin, you’re stuck with me I suppose, using shreddit to delete my history and account…
Honestly the best move now is to overwrite all your comments with replies from chatgpt, since AI’s hate feeding from other AI answers. It’s like poisoning the well.
