That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
I really doubt many mods see it like that.
Obviously their biases come out in their moderation, but I’d assume the majority think they’re doing a service and what users want.
Except the puppet mods on news/politics subs whose day job is pushing a narrative for someone. Those ones know what they’re doing.
