So long as it hurts Reddit, all the better.
This whole API issue is a lost cause, so the only thing that can be done now is to make Reddit lose big.

MODERATORS
O no…
It's still going on?
I know that r/Python is closed, which is big sub. I ended up there after some search.
It's so weird to see all the people still fighting on Reddit when I've already moved on
Most importantly I think the app devs have moved on. They'd have to do something particularly amazing to lure them back. That's the death knell.

I really dont see a point in fighting at this point. Reddit is dead for me.

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.
Ellen Pao?
Yeah, that's the one.
