MODERATORS
Well good! They can pay to mod everything then! Should be easy when everyone is gone or posting the new Lemmy community that is taking overr.
Owners of reddit seem like tin pot dictators.
What short sighted assholes
Translation: we rely on you to make money give me more money, money now .
What's crazy is since last year the admins have been asking mods to step up their free labor or lose their subreddits. Now they want to micromanage mod decisions too? Coupled with the admins trying to turn communities against their mods, there's a serious loss of trust at this point, and I don't think the admins are going to get it back.
OMG, can you play a reverse uno card on this? So much of this argument is the problem with the changes they are making. So frustrating.
this is so desperate. they write this stuff to make up an excuse for take away its creators and in the name of the "users". it's just so they can keep up their advertisement revenue im agry
Reddit admin seem to be under the very mistaken impression that the passive viewers are the source of Reddit's success. Creating and modding a sub is a labor of love, and people who have the love, time, and patience to do it well are a tiny minority of Reddit's users. When they alienate mods, Reddit dies.

Just start deleting every comment that isn’t hate speech.
Love how this is a full 180° from the "Create your own subreddit…for ___" messaging that appeared in the sidebar for more than a decade.
Yeah, I just got one of those too lol.
Honestly, mods should just force the issue and make Reddit replace them. It's going to be a big problem if Reddit needs to find new moderators for hundreds if not thousands of subreddits. And that's assuming all the new moderators will play along and not immediately join the protest, go on a tyrannical power trip, or just go dark after a few weeks.
Why would anyone even want to be a mod right now? It's like your boss threatening to fire you from a job you're not paid for while the building is actively on fire.
Mod of /r/homeimprovement here, that's exactly what we are doing. We are staying dark and forcing them to replace us if that's what they want to do at this point. We are at least going to make them work for it, lol.

Fuck Reddit
This must be an automated post right? When did it get written up initially? If this is actually from someone its at a whole new level of bullishness.
I thought most mods asked their communities what they'd like to the mods to do. In which case they are already doing what the communities have asked.
At this point I'm cheering for reddit to keep going as they are so the migration keeps on going too.
