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.
This is extremely short-sighted on reddits part, elevating lower mods to leads can cause so much drama in a community particularly when the lower mods don't have experience, the lower mods will probably make basic mistakes that'll turn the average base away from the subreddit.
this is really going to bite reddit in the ass if they try it more its like trying to fix a leak by sticking random objects in the hole
Fuck Reddit. But honestly Iβm less and less invested with each passing day. I re-opened Apollo today and itβs already starting to feel old, foreign. I guess that means Lemmy is home now.
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.
Well good for them, they can have a lot of fun paying reddit staff to be the mods now.
It was a matter of time before the admins started doing this. Fuck Spez, you piece of shit
So we can expect the mods of bigger subreddits to also lose their permissions? How will the admins manage to moderate 8k subs?
The way things are going R*ddit is going to become what Digg is today - a minimalist editor run link agreggator
Not going back. Disgusting behaviour.
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.
Lemmy should make itself as much like Reddit as it possibly can except for the small handful of money-grubbing cunts who'd rather destroy communities than allow them to exist without profiting from them.
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.
This is informative and unfortunate.
Does that mean they're unmoderated now? r/worldpolotics here we come!
That's why we desperately need downvoting, making fake stories sink to the bottom.
my 2 'cents
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.
this is how reddit dies. not with a whimper, but with a greedy CEO.
get fucked spez!
Fuck u/spez
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.
