EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

POST ABOUT MODS FORCIBLY SWITCHING SUBS BACK TO SFW (teddit)

"What the users want" my ass. Reddit doesn't give 2 shits about what the users want.

If you guys wanna do more and get back at reddit, consider using a program that has gathered hundreds of their advertiser emails an emailing them to try and stop them from advertising, there is a email guide inside as well! USE BCC, NOT TO OR IT WILL SHOW ALL THE COMPANIES EVERYONE YOU EMAILED.

edit:

r/interestingasfuck removed as well

r/ThanksIHateit mod team removed

r/self mod team removed

edit 2:
from r/mildlyinteresting. restoration after they saw the backlash or mod team replacement? we dont know quite yet

r/mildlyinteresting update

edit 3: Reddit removed moderators behind the latest protests before restoring a few of them - restored by a different admin than the one that removed them...

Surely they can't survive after this, right? Like, people can't be okay with this.

I guess they're betting on most casual users to just not notice or care enough

And they're right. Let them have Reddit, they deserve it.

It's staggering the amount of people that are fine with things and just want it to go back to normal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Too many users on reddit love this because they hate mods and think reddit is somehow going to get rid of moderation when reddit is trying to be advertiser friendly.

Just a handful of people will know, so it doesn't matter.

People are ok with this and even if not, they’ll forget it in a few months. Remember when YouTube removed the dislike button? Or surveys? Or forced more ads onto its users?

Nobody is talking about that anymore (except maybe the ads part)

There’s no real alternative to YouTube. An aggregator is not as novel or as complex as a video hosting service with millions of channels with huge productions and followings. This is also a lot bigger than a thumbs down button.

Twitch could fill the gap if enough effort was put in imo

[–] ImFresh3x 2 points 2 years ago

Ya but I think twitch is already losing money, and the only way to get big channels to move to your video service is to pay them millions of dollars in sign on contracts. It would take billions gather a significant portion of big YouTube channels. I don’t think Amazon wants to dump anymore into that money pit.
