Anti-mod brigading going on within reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've been seeing a lot of pro-reddit, anti-mod comments, despite tens of thousands of up votes on Reddit blackout posts. Pro-reddit comments also have a ton of gold for some reason.

Is reddit trying to change the narrative towards hating on mods for "ruining everything" before they try and remove them?

Remember that in an interview, they mentioned that they used fake accounts early on to control the discourse on Reddit.

Not saying I have any proof they are doing that now, but it does show what they are willing to do to control the platform.

They are fighting for their life (whether they admit it, or just think they're minimizing the amount of damage to their ipo) and they have expansive resources. Surely they're doing all they can to limit the leak, likely many things we have no idea about.

We won't have any idea of how huge the impact is on reddit.

But we already know what it's doing for the Fediverse.
