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.

Redditors should scorch earth their content contributions. That way u/spez replacing the mods is only going to result in an open but crippled subreddit.

There are tools to help. The best recommended ones I know of:

A Rust CLI app: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit/

A JavaScript bookmarklet (that feels a bit like a full browser extension): https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

Used power delete suite last night. Worked like a charm. Sucked scorching my almost 8 year account, but they can eat shit.

I did the same with my two accounts at 7 and 8 years old (neither match this username).

One of them is a novelty account, I wonder if I can sell it 🤔

I did the same with my 11 year old account. On one hand it hurts, but on the other it feels so good

Same, watching the progress bars deleting all of my comments hurt a bit. But that just made me realize how dumb it is to have an attachment to some random account.

I'm deleting the entire account when the API changes go live. Fediverse link aggregation services are good enough and people constantly crosspost popular topics from Reddit.
