They would want to test it on one subreddit first and see how it went. The quality will tank, but this is something they could get away with.
Yup. They only care about the ipo at this point. Money is far more important than ethics.
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.
That's insane. I honestly thought it was solely romours, like Spez editing messages on behalf of others (which I still don't believe in)
Edit: I believe it now though.
It happened live on Thanksgiving and he admitted to it shortly after. Believe it bud.
There's a verge article here talking about it. Unfortunately, the comment admitting it might be gone since it was in r/The_Donald. But yeah, it happened.
This is what we call scab behavior, Kids do not be like this mod, do not be a scabb, if you see a picket line do not cross it. If everyone else is striking join your fellows and strike with them.

Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"
It’s depressing that I’m not surprised one bit. At this point, I don’t even think it’s worth sticking around until 3PA shut down on the 30th.
Yeah, I'm out. I'm still learning this whole Lemmy thing, but it's scratching the same itch that Reddit did.
I think this killed reddit for me, even if they reverse their shit it's still the same company that desperately tried to push it in the first place. Only a matter of time before more of the things I liked about it are stripped away, might as well rip the band-aid off now.
I wonder if they saw a bunch of traffic trying to access advice animals and decided it was a good testing grounds for removing mods.
I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.
This makes more sense, and its awful.
Reddit? Are they new? Never heard of it 🤣 Probably won't get very big
Greedy people fuckin' nice things up. Nothing new under the sun.
They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.
This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
Definitely called this. All the right wing trolls on Reddit are salivating at the thought of turning this into a coup by hopping into top mod spots in exchange for licking boot tread. The outcome is pretty obvious.
Apparently, a heck of a lost of drama involving this.
