    I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.

    you have been muted and can no longer contact the moderators of /r/modcoord

    this mf is going to give people a voting system to kick out mods, and they’re gonna use it to kick out the mods he just picked who stopped the subs from going private

    that would be really funny, i think

        This is surely the way spez will treat it.

        It’s his site, we’re just squatters as far as he’s concerned.

      They literally threatened to ban r/WorkReform when it planned to elect mods. You can’t make this shit up.

      A part of me believes they will give some bs reason to keep their “scab” mods immune, but I would love if they didn’t and the chaos that would ensue.

      This is basically Stalin saying “the kulaks are too privileged”, not because he wanted to distribute the land, but because he wanted to expropriate it to bruteforce economic development.

      You’re right, a former mod of The_Donald was trying to become a mod of r/aww this week during the protests. So that’s exactly what’s already happening, Reddit is about to get a whole lot worse.

      I’m on Lemmy now so I’ll watch from afar with 🍿

    He’s talking about democracy but there was no democratic vote in place regarding the API costs they’re going to implement. So he’s only about democracy when he thinks it suits him.
