Oh, you have no idea...
More blood for the blood god! But in all seriousness I felt this was bound to happen. I think Reddit is going about this all wrong, but their playing a scare tactic.
Also this whole vote your mods away will just create more chaos. Now they'll be this fear that if I'm not being a "good" mod, according to the subreddit mob, you'll be voted off the island.
Basically break out your popcorn and enjoy the show.
I'm curious how they'll decide who gets to vote in a given sub? Like, if it's just anyone or anyone who subscribes, or has posted/commented once, it leaves the door open for a dedicated group of brigaders to literally take over a sub, by voting in their own mod team to destroy or change it.
all the best users
Lol they don't care about quality. They just want drones to pump those engagement numbers. In fact, us leaving behooves them, since we're the thinking users with high standards. This is something I noticed with late game enshittification: no one complains anymore because those who remain are either numb or dim. The process itself filters for the perfect userbase.
Spez was just kind of dumb for trying to rush the process. 1 month lul
Time for a new form of mutiny!
Yarr... They're after me mates! Yeah this was inevitable, it is reddit's website and they're not going to let you squat on it forever. IMO the goal was always to cause a lot of chaos on the way out, and make reddit look incompetent in the news. I'd say so far it's going about as well as it could have gone.
I wasnt expecting the scab moderators trying to stay on reddit, but I think the numbers are still against them. All the best users are leaving due to their changes, so I think reddit is taking a lot of damage right now. The question is whether reddit's pocketbook is taking damage, or if the brunt is falling on the community, aka the users.
