So don’t apply to be a mod?
That is true. Still doesn't mean Reddit should be a bunch of jagoffs. There is something called customer service and treating customers right...in this case users.
Exactly, he acts like no one notices what utter nonsense it is to claim simultaneously “97% of users don’t use 3rd party apps” and those 3% put his company in danger or an “unsustainable position…”
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'
In his first interview since thousands of subreddits went dark in protest, Huffman said he is not going to reverse his plan to start charging for outside access to Reddit data.

Karma. I’ve tried to post some very on topic stuff there which got arbitrarily deleted by the mods for no good reason.
Now the mods over there may get replaced for no good reason. Good riddance, you pompous *******s.
You know how the song goes:
“O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis…”
Plenty of people chomping at the bit to take over as mod for all the protesting subs. They will carry on as normal.
What the CEO should‘ve done was immediately booted the mods the moment they tried this stunt. This would’ve been over already.

It is more than that. the 3rd party tools have way better moderation tools the the official app. Plus they also rely on bots to help them out which is also going away.
While I definitely don’t agree with Spez where he’s going with Reddit, it was also the wrong time for Christian to be joking around.
If users themselves delete their own content, there’s not much they can do in the way of restoring it. Or not without inviting a class action lawsuit, that is (and a massive, possibly bankruptcy-inducing fee from the European Union, as we have this thing called the “right to be forgotten”; not being able to delete one’s own content from public view and have it stay deleted would be a new low).
I, for one, intend to exercise that right as soon as I find some sort of script/tool/app/whatever that allows me to do so. Probably with one of the third-party apps before they cease to work on the 30th?
It’s very doublethink-y and Orwellian, is it not? Spoken like a true fascist.Exactly, he acts like no one notices what utter nonsense it is to claim simultaneously “97% of users don’t use 3rd party apps” and those 3% put his company in danger or an “unsustainable position…”

Thank you! I never posted a lot there, but my posts were as elaborate as here. I’m not in the habit of trolling people and I feel that I contributed more to that site than it actually did to my life, even with all the recent Google searches I appended “reddit” to. Yeah, deciding to drop Reddit was actually even easier than when it came to Twitter, funnily enough, and when there’s an alternative… even more so, and I won’t miss it a bit. It’ll be dead within a year. 🤷♂️
https://redact.dev/ is pretty good (and works for things other than reddit too if you have any interest in disappearing from other sites). I've also heard people recommend shreddit.com, but I've never used it so I can't comment on how it works.
You do realize that the mods created the subs in the first place, not reddit. It should be up to them to decide what to do with their own sub.
If users have issues with the mods decision, there is nothing stopping them from creating their own sub.

Oops! I’ll just throw some gas on that fire by refusing to budge, and by belittling their stupid protest – that should do it!
Oh… it’s worse?! Well, I might as well shoot myself in the foot by making threats and bullying my free workers, while I try to put out the fire that’s now engulfing the whole building!
I am a paragon of leadership.

You joined this site in 2007, I assume you’ve been to other message boards, you should know there’s no shortage of internet nerds who love having a tiny bit of power over other internet nerds.
