"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

Voting out mods is a TERRIBLE idea. It means a very active minority can effectively control a large subreddit, and politically oriented / minority spaces are going to have constant campaigns trying to take them over.

Can you imagine what it's going to be like moderating TwoX, lgbt, or egg_irl if this change goes through? What a nightmare.

Sounds like it could also be glorious, for the exact same reasons! 🤣
