So I was curious about what's happening over on Reddit, and turns out some subs are opening up because they're worried of Reddit admins gutting the mod teams and putting new ones in. It's already happened with advice animals. Not like it hasn't happened before, the head mod of Kotaku in Action (basically that whole gamergate shit, that IMHO, the guy who started it lied), essentially privated the sub because he was over it and hated seeing how hateful people were, he was removed and Admins put in new modding team.
r/pics voted to reopen but only display sexy pics John Oliver, so there's that.
I just saw that, I love it!
There’s a lot of malicious compliance going on now. I think r/shitposting made a bot that automatically deletes comments to maintain free API limits.
I’m actually proud of r/Melbourne mods for shuttering shop.
I read about this. So, it’s already happened.
The unpaid mods thing just blows my mind.
