Apparently the admins aren’t too happy with the new form of protest that Reddit moderators found, since NSFW subs don’t run ads. Brought to Reddit users by the zombie admin account u/ModCodeOfConduct!

The admins also removed the entire mod team of r/MildlyInteresting (original link) and replaced it with either employees or sycophants, while giving all mods a 7d suspension ban.

Reddit: “subs belong to the community!”

Also Reddit: “screw the community, this is MY PRECIOUS!”

I’m willing to bet that r/ModCoord will be eventually banned. And the ban message will say something cryptic, vague, and meaningless.

    When I started hearing about mods being replaced, I knew it was over. That platform simply has no future any more.

      Let’s be realistic. Reddit will probably be fine for a whole while. Tons of users are still using the platform normally and are annoyed about the protests.

        Also true. Some people will remain, and they are going to see lots of ads, spam, reposts, and unhinged individuals who should have been banned. What about actual good content though? The people who make that stuff were among the first to leave. This transition will take a while to have an impact, so I don’t expect the stock value to drop much during the first year. After that though, it’s probably going to be yet another tumblr repeating history.

      Frankly I knew that it was over when I created this comm. Now we’re just watching it 🔥burn and eating 🍿popcorn.

      Small niche communities will probably still exist there, but for anything over 10’000 subs it’s definitely over
