I have the same impression. Frankly some of mine have gotten better after the replacement mods have less of a stick up their ass. A couple have even changed posting rules to be less restrictive, like allowing people to talk about ROM sites.

> Frankly some of mine have gotten better after the replacement mods have less of a stick up their ass Very much this. A few tiny little despots got toppled, and the world goes on.

  I fully supported the protests by major subreddits. My problem was that a lot of the smaller subs couldn't see the forest for the trees and, ostensibly for the sake of the survival of Reddit, destroyed themselves. The subreddit that gets five hundred posts per day bounces right back after two days offline. The niche sub that gets about ten posts per day, however, doesn't survive being shut down for two weeks. A lot of the mods seemed to be fine with the destruction of their communities as long as it was them who got to pull the trigger and not the admins.

>even changed posting rules to be less restrictive, like allowing people to talk about ROM sites. sounds like a rule that will get the sub banned if/when they ever get too much attention. Reddit will definitely side with the corporations is they get enough heat on them. >A lot of the mods seemed to be fine with the destruction of their communities as long as it was them who got to pull the trigger and not the admins. I'm sure they weren't fine, but if shutting down for 2 weeks is enough to destroy a community, it shows how much "community" was really there to begin with.
