They're gonna nuke the sub next and I'm loving it
They've gone too far to turn back now!
Lmao, next post is the official "We're moving to Kbin" post.
Was anyone seriously considering reddit ever again after this? That site is dead and buried. It's a sinking ship.
One must have no mind at all to take that place seriously at this point. No consistency, no fairness, no honesty, no integrity. One never knows what to expect nor from where to expect it.
Hell, they don't seem to know what they're doing. Their admins fight over who does what to whom and apparently they close subs then threaten themselves demanding that they reopen them. This didn't have to be a big mess but it was forced to be one anyway and there's no sense in trusting it to get any better.
What? Where and when did this happen?
Sorry, I don't know where I saw that but one of the "Reddit admins close down a subreddit" posts around here has someone talking about that happening, and some others mention mod actions being done/undone/partially re-done over time due to internal confusion or struggles or whatever. It seems clear no one knows what Reddit is doing, inside the company or out.
Hell, maybe the bots are doing the adminning too. There's no foolishness like absolute foolishness, yes?
Ah I think I remember that. It was r/mildlyinteresting iirc - an admin demodded the entire mod team for breaking a rule that they didn't actually break (they filled the flag but didn't actually allow any NSFW) and a different admin added them back.
