@demvoter @pvellamagi I simply don't think these power mods are going to want to stay in a relationship with Reddit after this. Hell, even if spez beck-pedaled the damage is done.
They're going to have no choice but to HIRE full-time mods to keep these communities open. Literal employees.
Which then makes every subreddit a corporate product, and mod decisions reflect corporate attitudes.
What they leave up is the responsibility of the company, not "a bunch of volunteers we don't control"
@rodhilton @demvoter @pvellamagi The fascinating thing to me is that he hasn't back pedaled at all, tripled down at this point. It's kind of impressive how he doesn't get it.
