For for how much heavy handed their initial reaction was, I’m surprised that Reddit doesn’t take more aggressive actions. Spez has the loudest voice on highest pole, yet so far he only managed to anger everyone.

Fuck Spez.

I'm not sure they can. What can they do? I doubt they'll replace moderators with paid Reddit workers. The alternative is to replace them with other power hungry moderators who will bend a knee to the Reddit admins. That might work on some major subreddits but the PR of that might cause more damage.

I think the admins hoped it would have blown over by now. If it's still going on by September I bet they'll need to do something.

It can be easily concluded from his AMA that he is a fool. Big mouth with small brain.

And he was a mod for a very disgusting sub back when it was active.

Although I dislike him as much as anyone, I read that in the early days you could add users as mods without the need for users to accept.

He was supposedly posting on the sub as well. Plus you can remove yourself as a mod, especially if you're an admin.

Ah, yeah that makes things even worse. Jesus Christ, us sheep of reddit that hailed him when he took over as ceo after that woman who's name I don't remember.
