Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts - MacRumors (www.macrumors.com)

In a comment shared by r/Apple moderator @aaronp613, Reddit cited its Moderator Code of Conduct and said that it has a duty to keep communities "relied upon by thousands or even millions of users" operational. Mods who do not agree to reopen subreddits that have gone private will be removed.

If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

Let them do it, only pushes more people to alternatives.

I wish, but I've seen a bunch of redditors in the last few days say they didn't even know 3rd party apps existed. Even complaining about the blackouts how all it's doing is hurting the users. Idk if those are bots, paid comments, or what, but I'm sure a lot of people actually think that and it's sooo frustrating.

Plenty of newer reddit users legitimately think reddit itself is just an app and have no clue there's even a desktop site. I've blown some minds when I mentioned the fact that I'd been using the best third party app RiF for over a decade and used old reddit on desktop.

they didn't even know 3rd party apps existed.

then they shall remain in the blackest ocean abyss with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark. ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance

It won’t happen overnight. Reddit will be slowly bleeding users in the coming months and after lemmyverse reaches critical mass, there will be no going back.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It might push more power users away. It won't push away the teeming masses.

Quality will suffer, but they'll keep their traffic.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah but there will still be decay. The teeming masses are there to see what the power users are doing. A dip in content quality will lead to a migration like what came a couple years after the Digg migration when the Stumbleupon folks needed a new home

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I can live with that. Actually, I would be happy with that if that means those power users will be coming here.
