Shockers!! Funny how these mods who work for free thought they have any leverage.. now if they control the instances like a federated nodes, then maybe.

- NovaDudely 3y agoThey did have some leverage but only so long as Reddit was still trying to keep up appearances. They probably did the equation and figured that bad optics for a little while outweighs possible long term gains. At that point all the mods power vanishes.
- senectus1 3y agothey're unpaid volunteers. too bad. I don't think this is controversial at all. In the best interest of the community it makes sense for reddit to step in and appoint new mods that will not try to shutdown the community. I don't like or agree with the API call costs, but this is how it works. If its not on your server you dont control it. someone else does. in this case is F#cking /u/Spez
- AHOHA 3y agoVolunteer means they are doing good for the public, these morons aren’t paid and their only motivation there is to have that sense of power over other users to feel important.
- senectus1 3y agohmmm "Good to the public" maybe not... "Service to the public" yes they are. They're mods. They provide a service. But yeah... closing the community down is willful destruction of a utility. It makes sense for Reddit to rip em out
