MODERATORS
I wonder what the atmosphere at reddit HQ is like this week.
Phew we really fucked that up, but glad that's over! Now let's get back to finishing up these new mod tools and releasing a great mobile app and finally releasing the fix to the video player
-or-
fires! Spez-ssistant: "Mr. Spez, another investor is blowing up my phone all morning, can I transfer the call?" Spez: "No, hold my calls, I'm searching for a PR company. Did any of those other ones answer your emails yet?" Spez-ssistant: "No Spez, they all said they are too far booked out on this submersible company thing" Spez: "Dammit! What about our moderators?" Spez-ssistant: "Bad news, the top subs are full of literal buttholes and there is nobody to delete them now that we banned most of the mods" Spez: "What if I promote you and all your friends, can you guys stay on top of this for a while?" Spez-ssistant: "I just got an email from CircleJerk Securities, it says they are pulling out of the IPO!"
*Edit: I see that my battles with formatting will continue
You forgot the part where Spez-sisstant says "but if we exercise that much direct editorial control, we'll fall afoul of Section 230 and lose our DMCA safe harbor."
(But then again, I'm probably giving too much credit to Spez-sisstant.)
More likely they are expecting this to blow over and people to return to reddit. This isn't the first-time people have called for a mass exodus and they are expecting it to go like it has before.
Well how many people do you think actually left Reddit or care? Not counting the mods, maybe 0.1% of Reddit users???
