MODERATORS
Of course they are. That is why I am here, Reddit in my eyes is done for either way and once it is on the stock market, it’ll only get worse.
I'm surprised they even waited this long. Of course, unprivatizing subs is one thing, but let's see them try to moderate all of that content without the unpaid workforce that they've been used to. If a mod team is willing to take a sub private, it's a pretty clear sign that they're not going to give up and get back to work if their sub is forcibly made active again.
The shit show is only going to get worse from here.
Good point, reminds me of other attempts to break strikes, you can shoot people dead, but you can‘t shoot them to work. Well, you can attempt the threat of it and maybe some will half-assed pretend to work and others will turn to sabotage, so more accurate would be you can‘t force them to do good work. Even more so for volunteers.
Well fucking put.
Yep. Spez and the reddit admins have gone full mask-off, realpolitik, "do what we say or get the fuck out".
The platform still functions, for now, but this is genuinely the beginning of the end as far as I can tell.
I genuinely hope so. Hopefully this serves as a great example of why you should not offer your free work to a centralized company.
