It’s not like they couldn’t put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they’re about to do something controversial again soon.
We have a responsibility to protect Reddit and ensure its long-term health, and we cannot allow actions that deliberately cause harm.
Truly, a harm for the platform when the moderators of /r/assesgonewild take their subreddit private for a week in protest. So far up their asses.
Read: “Our users got so pissed at us that it jeopardized our IPO. Now it could actually effect something like our stock price, so fuck 'em”. Seriously people, just leave
my guess would be old.reddit disappearing.
I went back after the original purge since some niche communities are dead here but… OMG if they do this I will finally be free of them.
Funny, me being here can be considered a protest against Reddit for the last year, and it’s still working fine.
Reddit makes an anti-user change. In other news, grass is green.
I haven’t been on the site in over a year and nothing since then has convinced me to go back. Maybe I’m lucky that I’m not in any Reddit-only communities, but it could also just be that I treat those communities as though they don’t exist and never had a reason to join one as a result.
