It’s Reddits platform. There’s no way to beat them other than leaving.
- TMWNN 3y agoThe most bizarre thing is how any mods could ever have thought that an indefinite blackout would possibly result in a win for them. Reddit, the company, had and has 100% of the power. At least workers on strike can march with signs around the factory and try to block replacements from entering. Mods have zero, zilch, zip power to prevent Reddit from doing whatever it wants with subreddits and mods' accounts. Is it bloated egos from having had "infinite" authority (as long as they obeyed Redditwide rules) over hundreds of thousands or millions of other people during their visits to the mods' fiefdom of a subreddit? Or mental illness? My answer: `whynotboth.gif`
- worrycue 3y agoFrankly, some moderators who actually moderate out of altruism will probably quit and leave the subreddit to its fate - after all its just an Internet forum.* That will leave just the power hungry loons. * Reddit probably suffers from the same sort of delusion that Twitter does in that its True Believers believe that the whole world is participating in their platform when it’s only a small fraction of the human population.
