Subreddits may go unmoderated after Reddit Blackout? (imgur.com)

I read this update posted last night on the r/iPhone discord, and have not seen this posted anywhere yet. Please feel free to direct this to the proper community if this is out of place.

I highlighted the relevant sentence, but it seems that the moderators are discussing how to proceed after the initial Reddit blackout behind the scenes, and having the communities being unmoderated is one of the potential options.

How do people feel about going back to an unmoderated Reddit?

If they decide peaceful protest will “blow over”, then offensive protest will destroy any value the site has.

I believe that is exactly what Reddit is banking on.. The entire text of the internal memo is in the blockquote at the bottom.

Yup! And if we can't end the enshittification from the company, we should hasten it in the userbase and make the entire site unpalettable.

What can you possibly come up with that isn't right wing propaganda at this point? It will just seem like business as usual for fox fiction and twithard. That is the only userbase currently on the platform during the blackout. You'll actually grow their numbers from the current baseline.
