Reddit's explanation (from an admin account, /u/ModCodeofConduct) is that 'encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces' counts as 'engaging in malicious conduct' that breaks the Moderator Code of Conduct. https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1671298446974656514 https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1671298446974656514 To me it doesn't seem like they actually violated any Reddit policy or code of conduct, particularly because the NSFW content was properly labeled. https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy The same admin account was also caught quietly flipping the NSFW subs back to SFW status. So this is clearly just about getting back that monetization. https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ebl7k/umodcodeofconduct_admin_account_caught_quietly/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14ebl7k/umodcodeo...

      No, no. If you purport to know what redditors supposedly want, you can read the OP and simply go to the listed subreddits and see the top posts for the votes/announcements. edit: I mean let's be real, you've been panning for reddit for two weeks. You're concern trolling asking for links.

        I actually checked "interesting as f" subreddit, which I am also long time subscriber, and couldn't locate poll right away.

        I'm interested to hear why you believe a third-party app developer and multiple groups of moderators have all decided to somehow coordinate a scam against Reddit, and also why you believe Reddit is in the right here? Why is that easier to believe/agree with than the majority opinion expressed on HN?
        riku_iki 3y ago
        3p app dev and mods spread narrative which doesn't stand trivial fact checking, and majority believes in what they want to believe without digging into details. > you believe Reddit is in the right here I didn't say anything like that. Reddit is private for profit company, owns platform and content and acts to maximize long term profit.

        Currently they are acting in maximizing alienation of their users and maximizing the chance a viable competitor platform emerges.

        they lost PR battle, everything else you said is up to discussion.

    time will show if old mods and 3p apps are that critical, since both are removed now.

      time already shew, since the subreddits exist as they are now obviously taking what they built and saying "I built this" wouldn't show anything but spez's pettiness

        reddit team's contribution in "building" is not smaller than those mods.
        ImPostingOnHN 3y ago
        of course it is: reddit hosts bulletin boards, the community (mods included) built the subreddits (both creating content and attracting new users to them)
        riku_iki 3y ago
        Ok, looks like you realized that mods just are part of community who built subreddits. And current power mods who declared they own subreddits also not all mods (current and past), but unknown share of them.

  Moderators should have thought of all the people that can't live without their daily "fix" before interrupting their volunteer work for a few days, right.
  - riku_iki 3y ago
    moderator's of subs from above extended their activities past few days.
- TpA3GvjQk5bq2fY 3y ago
  The key point that you seem to be missing is that those millions of readers voted for the mods to take the action they are taking. You're the minority and you're expecting to run the show. That's not how it works.

    I couldn't find poll on interesting as f subreddit where millions of users voted for a porn on front page.

Given the mod team encouraged people to upload pictures of fruit and vegetables that were suggestive of butts and dicks and vulvas and such... ...no, it's clearly about someone at reddit raging out of control and grasping at straws to justify banhammering mods in a desperate attempt to save a ship that has split in two, is on fire, leaking radioactive waste, while sharks circle. I've seen this happen on mailing lists and discussion boards where an admin/mod throws a major wobbly and just starts banning people like crazy for the slightest infractions to scare everyone else into "behaving." That's about when quietly someone who is respected pools together every email they can get their hands on and invites everyone to mailing list run elsewhere.

  See also: the way freenode went under. Some asshole seized power, and then nothing happened for a bit. Then staffers got replaced as they got too uppity. Then a bit later anyone mentioning libera.chat in official freenode channels got kicked. Then the mods of any channel mentioning libera.chat in the topic got replaced. And then there was no one left as everyone had moved over to libera.
