Linus put it rather succinctly when he remarked that Reddit has gone “full scumbag”, and that was before this move. “Key facts Key fabrications to understanding Reddit’s recent API updates”. FTFY Spez.
If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users.
I’m really wondering where he wants to pull all those new mods from if enough of them keep protesting, lol
Why didn’t they do this to /r/asatru then, it spent several years dark and the admins refused to demod anybody
Amazing how every prediction the Reddit community has made re: this situation has been coming true. They called this well before the blackouts began.
Since Monday I’ve spent maybe 15 minutes browsing Reddit. Haven’t posted or commented in 6 days now. At this point I don’t see myself going back in any meaningful way, especially when Apollo is gone.
I’ve actually managed since last Thursday to not click the app at all. It’s been freeing, there are a few hiccups, but if I’ve made it this long, I don’t see myself ever going back.
Seriously wish I could have puts on this IPO. Reddit will no longer be the front page of the internet in a year.
