"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

Reddit was a popular street corner where everyone went to set up their soap boxes. You could go there, listen, hang out, or stand on your own soap box. The idea that the owner of the street corner also owns the soap boxes, and that the people standing on them are employees of the street corner is absurd.

Huffman has made it abundantly clear that he intends to handle the reddit community like he's the president of the world's shittiest Home Owners Association. What aspect of that would make anyone want to stay?

Now that I've left, and have easily replaced it with lemmy, with no discernable loss in entertainment value, why would I go back into that dumpster?

Same, I'm developing a crippling fediverse addiction right now. Hopefully this drama wraps up soon because I'm using this new platform way too much watching it unfold haha. Maybe in July I'll only spend a couple of hours a day on here.
