Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’
Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’
The removals will happen by “end of week.”
Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.
The advertising and crypto spam bots are ready. Is spez?
1So they will reopen with the "malicious compliance" pictures of John Oliver or badly worded rules.
A week later Reddit will remove them anyway, because this is not a court or the fourth law of thermodynamics - Reddit can and will change any rules to keep the website running.
So the conclusion is: don't even bother. If you care about the community, use your last few days as mod to immediately migrate to Lemmy. If you care about the title of mod... Well, good luck on this cursed website.
1All the news about reddit over the last few days have made me realise that I no longer personally care.
I mean it's still funny to read about the way subs are protesting, but I haven't been on the site since the protests, and now I don't get angry about the changes anymore. It's a sign that I've finally kicked reddit out of my life after more than a decade on the platform.
