That's fucking stupid on r/Apples part to reopen. The whole point was to shut down, regardless of whether or not Reddit takes control of the subs. Because even if they did force mods to step down, there's a chance the subs would become even shittier than before and cause users to leave. Really dumb decision IMO and completely defeats the purpose.

That being said, if Reddit is doing this, I think we can safely assume it's now having a financial impact. MODS, DON'T BACK DOWN!

Agreed, sorta invalidates everything doesn’t it? I don’t get why mods have such a hardon for being a mod. Like, wasn’t this that it’s a volunteer job and they’re being treated like they owe Reddit something?

But now they’re like “pwease don’t take my mod from me daddy spez”

Just goes to show you have fuckin spineless and pathetic most of these mods are, imo
