In a comment shared by r/Apple moderator @aaronp613, Reddit cited its Moderator Code of Conduct and said that it has a duty to keep communities "relied upon by thousands or even millions of users" operational. Mods who do not agree to reopen subreddits that have gone private will be removed.

If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

I'm gonna laugh my ass of in the end of these hostile mod removals, they end up paying them and their now reddit employees with a union..

Well, there you have it. The "we only care about money" we were waiting for /s. Expect changes to increase profit to affect users even more than this, reddit as we knew it is dead

I saw another post saying they vowed not to do that. I haven't read the interview, but I wonder how what he said could be interpreted in opposite ways by two different people.

The answer imo to this is to add people as approved posters and keep the subreddit going.

Imagine being the only mod in a large subreddit, leading an army of untrained recruits. What does that mean for the health of that community? The quality of the subjects and posts isn't going to be very good, particularly if people start birigading or something.

They are getting rid of their best volunteers.

They don't care, they just want the community to be open so that they can have the most content the users can scroll through while seeing their precious ads.

Value of the content doesn't really matter i guess...

They did say that they would do it, after all.

[-] Kaiser@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

We were all expecting that, I’m surprised that they didn’t do it earlier.
