How American of them. Install your own leaders when you don’t like what they’re doing with their self-governed community

People are literally crossing the digital picket line to scab unpaid moderator positions to do free work for admins who are using intimidation tactics against their moderator peers.

Reddit is doomed

If your money, reputation, family, friends, career, etc it’s on the line, I can understand how people would fold under pressure.

You’d literally be walking away from someone who doesn’t respect you, and then asks you to work for free.

How spineless do you have to be?

if forced to reopen, they should do it (rather than get pushed out and effectively give admins full control), but allow only a single new mod post every day- “day 5 of forced reopening discussion thread” and lock every other post.

And get kicked off day 2 while the threads get deleted. Probably the most effective way is to just open and not do any moderating.

Then get kicked for not moderating their community

They can just go into the management back-end and do whatever they want. Spez used it to edit commenters’ posts years ago, so he knows how to rig things if he wants to. Question is, how long will it take him to get fed up with us and get around to doing it?

And the slew of shitty underhanded tactics continues, lol. Anything to avoid actually listening to their community.

I guess the beatings will continue until the morale improves.
