And that's their right. Many subs announced they would protest for 48 hours to prove a point, at which point they returned. But a moderator who continues to keep their sub private indefinitely is not protesting a decision, they are defacing their subreddits and harming their members. Removing such a moderator is the appropriate thing to do.
- flangola7 3y agoIncorrect, it is a legitimate protest. Many have pointed out that Reddit could just wait out 48 hours, so indefinite blackout is a more logical move.
- jfasi 3y agoAn indefinite blackout is not a protest, it's extortion. It's saying "if I can't enjoy this subreddit the way I want to, no one can."
- wvenable 3y agoAren't all protests essentially extortion? We will sit here until you give into demands. We won't work until you give into our demands. We will crowd the streets until you give into our demands. All that matters is who the community supports.
- riku_iki 3y ago> We will crowd the streets until you give into our demands. its more like blocking highways indefinitely.
- flangola7 3y agoAnd? Reddit can reverse course and have the highway back at any moment.
- rightbyte 3y agoBlocking an abstract highway where it takes 2 seconds to build a new one right by it at zero cost. Reddit's original deal was hands off community as a service. I guess the mods are putting that to the test?
- riku_iki 3y agono, lots of info locked in specific subreddit, you can't recover it at zero cost. Maybe reddit will provide such function.
- flangola7 3y ago>It's saying "if I can't enjoy this subreddit the way I want to, no one can." Who has said that users shouldn't be allowed to use the new app? I haven't seen even a single instance of that. The problem is that Reddit - the centralized entity with power - is forcing that to be the only option. Reddit could be reasonable and continue to permit both. Until they decide to be reasonable the protests will continue. If Reddit gets butthurt and wants to call organized collective action "extortion" they can, but their childish whining isn't impressing anyone who has two brain cells to rub together.
- GeorgeTirebiter 3y agoIncorrect, it is holding information hostage, due to vainglorious moderators. The internet routes around damage.
- flangola7 3y agoThe damage here is what Huffman & board are pulling. They can have their website and free moderation back after they grow up and change their attitude.
