It’s obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It’s a thankless, difficult job that isn’t even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled.

So why stay? Why bother with protests and such when the company has made it clear they don’t value your work or your opinions? Why not just pull out en masse and let the place burn to the ground?

    Yes, but mods accepting this kind of behavior from Reddit are much more likely to be shitty themselves. Led them take the lead, and let reddit turn to shit as the mods actually doing moderation are gone and there are only power-tripping mods left.

        The thoughtless buffoon in-charge of the website clearly hasn’t thought that far; he thinks everyone on the website is replaceable, modding every sub is as easy as removing some porn, and he’ll find equally qualified mods literally everywhere.

        Spez likely doesn’t actually care about anyone who could end up dead because of something they found on Reddit, but he’d certainly give a shit about the legal implications.
