MODERATORS
tbh Im not surprised they would. r/piracy is both niche and wouldnt be worth to remove mods for. Subs like r/aww or r/funny however are main parts of Reddit, and this also applies to massive game subs like r/Minecraft
Yeah, I don't think they'd reopen /r/piracy. They'd take it as a win.
It's going to be banned for being "unmoderated" sometime soon, calling it now.
Can sub that no one post to really be considered unmoderated? Like what is there to do to be "active" without post.
I don't think they'd care
Yeah, I would bet that the default subreddits would be the ones they target with this bullshit

"The blackout didn't affect us at all."
"If you don't unblackout we're going to start removing moderators and taking over subreddits."
I think, maybe, the blackout hurt them. If it goes on for longer then ad buyers will shift their money to other platforms.

For those who still have a reddit account, I took the liberty to remind u/spez that he, too, wasn't democratically elected, so I created a referendum post on whether he should remain in his position as a CEO. Maybe give this an upvote if you want to.
Upvoted, but it won't work.
Of course it won't. But it would help to colour him as the hypocrite he is.

Ok but invite who? Any new moderators can see how you treat the current ones. Who the fuck is lining up to get treated like shit to moderate a major website for FREE?
Scum
delete the content, kill the sub, and brigade it to death if reddit tries to resurrect it
This is my shocked face 😐
Can someone post a link to this Twitter thread please?
called it
And I'm sure these new moderators would do just as good of a job as the old passionate ones! /s

"NO WE WON'T PAY YOU A FUCKING CENT, NOW DO WHAT WE TELL YOU AND SHUT THE FUCK UP"
Hopefully users can make things difficult for the scab mods.
This was bound to happen. On the eve of their IPO, they need to show that the site is running normally and that it shows promise to be profitable.
Now I'm not so sure whoever they pick to be more will be up for the task considering that they have gimped mod tools.
Not surprising, but there are still many ways it can go, even forcing them open may not do anything if the community remains angry, and he’s doing a grate job of trying to put the fire out with a fuel tanker.
Copyright your content, and delete it.
This is my shocked face 😐
Honestly, yes. They are stopping moderation, HOWEVER we closed down the subreddit entirely. Thus the sub should be considered non existent. Wouldn't that be some evidence to bring down hell on reddit?
Replacing the moderation teams of 5,000 subs should go really well. Right?

Whelp, I finally made my account, first post! Just need more popcorn! Sadly this move seemed inevitable.
Welcome! Lemmy/Kbin is already better than reddit.

Man, I just checked the thread on /r/technology to see what people were saying. Everyone is shit talking mods - it's a complete sea change since last time I was on. Weird.
Everyone who was pro-blackout is here now.
FWIW, I saw a decent amount of discontent directed at the blackout in a lot of the subs I frequented.
Some were confused by the mods and had no idea the 3rd apps were a thing. Some were ra-ra capitalism crowd mad that people are protesting the other site's gawd-given right to price gouge. Some were mad the blackouts didn't go far enough...
I think the takeaway is that you can't please everyone.
This ain't my first go as a social media refugee. I get they want to pull a Kevin Rose and cash out. Their board's been fucking with everything I used their site for and how I used their site. As far as I'm concerned, they can get farked.
IMO, the only thing preventing a mass exodus is platform mature enough to capitalize on their fuck-ups.
I would say it's surprising but r/technology has been apathetic to the blackout, and that's being generous. At the same time, it shouldn't be surprising considering its top mod is a reddit admin.

I was a bit stunned reading the comments on that post. They weren't just expressing displeasure with the blackout, it was more like "spez is 100% correct to kill 3rd party apps and mods are bad people". My first thought was trolls/astroturfing, but maybe the rules of the game just change that quickly when an addict isn't getting their fix.
