Good. I don’t want a reddit-size site again.

@giddy Yep, but sentiment on reddit seems to be changing a little. People are taking this as a concession and want to access their memes. Turns out the current users of reddit don’t really care how they get their meme fix.

@Apaulling I don’t think reddit will change a thing honestly. The current main users of reddit are normies and no longer the original tech focused core. Mods are a different story, but in the end if they don’t bend the knee they will be forced out and replaced. Let’s not play pretend.

I checked some comment sections and the sentiment seems to have shifted a lot from overt support to criticism and calling mods hostage takers.

I mean reddit quality was already in freefall outside of smallish subs. It’s gonna get worse quickly if those people actually leave.

I was the same and it’s kinda sad to see people are making carbon copies of the big reddit subs here with predictable comments.

It’s funny to get this upset. Reddit users turned from majority of techies to full blown normies who want to share their mundane daily life with other normies. Reddit is Facebook 2.0 for a few years now. Some niche subs were still cool, but the old reddit edgyness was gone. Everything over there is sanitized to a huge degree and there’s a reason most people hate reddit mods.
The majority doesnt give a rats ass about 3rd party apps or how reddit betrayed the mods with no modtools. They want to shitpost, see memes, updoot and dont care about the reddit ‘community’. The site has gotten too big for that.

At least here consolidation of subs is impossible meaning mods dont get to build little empires without recourse from the users.

You know it’s a good meme when people are getting mad over words

Good riddance. I like the no-downvote style but overzealous mods just create their own pillow fort of the same 5 users regurgitating the same shit over and over.

This is delusional on multiple levels. Reddit owns the subs. They will simply replace mods of the biggest subs, smaller subs will falter and some will be replaced by other content if reddit allows them to stay shut down.

It’s funny seeing the meltdown of mods as if they’re holding it all together when there are hundreds of people in line to replace them - for free. Besides if a subs content goes to shit new ones spring up. Reddit is that big.

It was a nice but meaningless statement that won’t accomplish anything except shutting down some fan favorite subs.
Normies don’t care, normies probably didn’t even know the protest was happening or why it was happening until some of their subs went dark. And last I checked comments on reddit the most upvoted are making fun of mods and their shutdown.

Juicy in what way? Pedo-admins like Aimee Chanellor or more vote manipulation?

I don’t think any of this matters much for reddit unless spez is me-too’d or somehow nuked on a smilar level.
