No offense to the commentators in this post but do y'all just lay down and take everything that comes at you without a hint of objection? Yeah I get that it's a silly website but it's one that some people have been on for 10+ years.

Yeah, I agree. What do you think we can do to remove these whiny mods and open up these subreddits to get reddit back to the site I enjoy. Are you suggesting that we organize against them in some way?

    there’s a saying - all moderators are bastards. Yes, even the bastard moderator you’re related to. Especially them, actually. It’s all the petit-bourgeoisie aspects of cops in general, in fact.

    The whiny mods are not moderators - they're curators, and they don't do thing to help me enjoy my Reddit experience. They make it worse by being biased and censoring opinions they personally don't like. They have an unreasonable amount of control over the narrative and diversity of the opinions expressed. If they were actually moderating they wouldn't invent vague rules to ban whatever they want and the moderator action logs would be public.

      I have already agreed that some mods are power hungry but to claim that all moderators are is disingenuous. https://i.imgur.com/qccGA91.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qccGA91.jpg if you think moderation is bad why are you on a moderated HN and not 4chan \b\? > and the moderator action logs would be public Blame reddit for not making this feature and not mods. There are 3rd party tools for public modlogs that REDDIT is trying to kill.

The funniest thing that I saw was someone posting a long diatribe on one of these threads basically saying "don't do this, Reddit is the only free speech the internet has left!!!" And totally missing the point that protesting IS free speech! And it isn't like this is really against REDDIT THE IDEA it's against the stance they are taking with these specific things. I think it will eventually, for some users at least (already has for me) morph into "against reddit itself" but - I'm still for the idea of a link aggregator. I think it's a great idea.
