Not trying to be rude, but were you going to reopen the sub and be business as usual?

You should have redirected your community somewhere else to begin with. It’s not your site. They make their own rules up. You played chicken with the Hoover dam.

Honestly i get that you are angry/disappointed on a personal level. But its pretty normal reaction from reddits side. You were not cooperative to their request to open up the sub so they searched for someone who would do it.

I dont want to defend them, i allready cleared my account over there but from a business perspective its a normal reaction. If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.

And the new mod might be a prick for backstabbing your protest but thats just a opinion. If there are enough users who want to keep using the sub, regardless of reddits shitty behaviour, its ok to reopen it and none of the old mods has a right to hold it "hostage" for their protest.

lol who gives a shit man. reddit is dead. You've lost your power. get over it. go get a real job

"coup"? wow, you're all really pathetic about a social media site, get over yourselves

You're the same group of mods who all teamed up and went dark to silence subreddits you disagreed with.

You also regularly remove posts that have thousands of upvotes because of vague rules like

• "No low effort content"

• "no recent reposts over 6 months"

• "all posts must abide by Hanlon's Razor."

• Locking threads because you didn't like the jokes in them

Welcome to lemmy, but I hope you don't bring this kind of powermodding into the fediverse. It's a growing place, so it doesn't need such a high level of moderation.

hi, this was entertaining to read really happy to see loud disobedient mods being replaced and removed you have no sympathy from me. when it comes to reddit, decide for yourself if you want to continue using it or not. don't hold the community hostage. you don't own it. grow up
