“If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.”
Then the only recourse is malicious compliance, a mod team running the sub into the ground over a few months? Or let Reddit appoint wholely unsuitable mods and laugh as the sub is run into the ground anyway. Either that or they appoint Reddit staff to moderate, their staff are stretched too thin with the extra workload (many subs will need new mods) and the sub/s collapse, or they hire more staff to moderate and the company crumbles under the inflated wage bill (explains why they desperately want any sympathetic existing mods to take on as much responsibility as possible, free labour).
Basically I don’t see this ending well for Reddit.
/r/Steam showed the way, as well as pics, gifs, etc. Maybe only photos of F1 toys or something?
sigh
lol, shocking that Reddit is full of bootlickers who want to ascend to that petty tyrant status. That’s why there was zero chance of them not just removing the mods of any sub that refuses to step in line.
The people wanting to step in usually aren’t the content providers. They just want to ride the high of being “powerful” on an already succesful subreddit without doing any of the hard work to get and keep is succesful. So there is likely to be a massive crash-n-burn coming for all the subs that have their content providers leave (or forcefully removed)
Don’t cross the picket line.
