I hope Reddit dies a slow, excruciating death. It's so rich to suddenly be concerned about moderator conduct after encouraging moderators of supposedly apolitical subs to preemptively exclude users who had broken no rules and had conducted themselves respectfully simply for having participated in subs the moderators didn't like. There are bots that issue autobans on ideological sinners.

I hope Huffman becomes penniless.

Naw. Make it a quick painful death.

If it goes slow, then people will adapt to the abuse and stick around. End it.

They're reacting to serious consequences.

Their teeth are coming out.

And this is what it took for them to finally dethrone the filthy powermods.

    • They go full jewish and put a giant fee on API use which completely fucks over the ability of powermods to control, manipulate and shill/bot an infinitude of subs simultaneously the way they have always done.
    • Powermods throw a hissy fit and leverage their control over all of the major subs in order to shut the site down.
    • They literally send messages to all of the mods and powermods telling them that they are going to be stripped of their mod status unless they capitulate and bow down and lick spez's cock.
    • "Nuuuuuh, this is actually benefiting faggots like GallowBoob!"

    Go back to Reddit, you belong there.

    You're wrong about licking spez' cock. He doesn't have one. That dickless faggot gave up his man card years ago.

    Reddit's so-called lords and masters don't like it when their useful idiots start having uncurated opinions and ideas :D. Once they start thinking for themselves like that, it's a lot harder to pin them in place for the advertising and monetized content.

    These guys are legit deluded! They honestly think the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of collective "fuck you" the users on that shit platform are giving them are fake, and done by a select few mods.... and I guess everyone REALLY wants to reopen everything and are totally on board with their corporate changes. ROFL.

    Hey redditors looking for news homes, or looking to discredit other sites because you are a partisan hack.....that is what reddit thinks of you, that you are stupid and a sheep who will do what you are told. Isn't that something, I don't know, you always say the right does? Think about that a second.

    If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening. We would handle this request and any retaliation attempts here in this modmail chain immediately.

    Our goal is to work with the existing mod team to find a path forward and make sure your subreddit is made available for the community which makes its home here. If you are not able or willing to reopen and maintain the community, please let us know.

    They have gone full Benedict Arnold.

    Hiring scabs. The unions know how to take care of that.

    As they started sending that notice out to sub mods on Friday, they also posted this: https://old.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/14b5q1f/how_to_request_an_abandoned_community_or_a_mod

    It went about as well as you can expect.
