Lol, users have been asking for this since almost the start of Reddit, and Reddit only cares now because it actually is hitting them where it matters.
This is always so annoying, when sites are stagnant for years and then suddenly they can pump out new features when it helps them even if people have been asking for forever.
See also mod tools (though they have broken that promise more times than I can count) and shit like NFTs. "Can't improve or fix basic bugs but we have time to add the scam of the week to our platform". Reddit doesn't deserve to continue.
- bioemerl 3y agoYeah, not only is this crazy a slap in the face to Reddit users who have wanted it for ages, it's also a slap in the face to people who make subs for their own stuff. So if I made a sub and I post to it, I build the content on it, some group of users can just vote me out randomly? Fuck that. They do such a thing and reddit becomes salted earth for anyone wanting to post their content on it, and for anyone wanting to run a community where they aren't popular/don't have an opinion in line with the hive mind. They needed to allow a more flexible moderation system and separate names of groups from the communities so that /r/games could dynamically change with time, but allowing the community to evict people from what they created is downright asinine.
- Seattle3503 3y agoAgreed with what you said. There are topics, and there are communities. They often get conflate. Moderators of communities should feel some sense of ownership over the community. But they don't own the topic.
