As a protest strategy why not forward all moderator actions to the reddit administrators to handle? (lemmy.ml)
 

*I couldn't figure out where else to post this as I don't have permissions for r/ModCoord and can't figure out where else protestors are organising. *

Reddit's administrators are keen to demonstrate their control over the communities here. As moderators I understand you rely on third party tools - which will soon be removed from you - to do your unpaid labour for the corporation.

Therefore as a protest why not use the first party tools you do have at your disposal and just report all comments and posts that do require moderation to the reddit administrators to handle themselves?

Software development takes time and has many unanticipated challenges that makes time estimation difficult. When developers do provide estimates users, managers etc then get stroppy when they slip by.

Therefore the best strategy is just to ignore requests for time schedules because it's a no win situation.

This guy seems to be presenting himself as such a monumental prick that it feels like theatre. Has it been the plan all along that he becomes the scapegoat for this policy?

He steps back, another puppet takes his place. And puppet 2.0 appeases the community by making some gesture of good will.

Perhaps halving the proposed API costs. Or taking the sensible route and making third party access open for Premium subscribers?

But at the end of the day they still achieve what they want: demonstrating to investors they have control over their users and boosting their income.

Karma might work on a per instance basis, but if implemented on a federation wide scale you'd have to trust every instance. It would be far too easy to artificially increase your karma with your own rogue instance just by editing the database.
