Reddit mods caving the second their status as mods is threatened is an absolute embarrassment. Not only do the prove spez right, they also reenforce the notion that Reddit without 3rd party apps is something they can live with - proving the blackouts were unnecessary and just an emotional reaction. What a joke!

    It’s either: make Reddit take control and risk losing their communities to bad or no moderation. At the absolute minimum, you put Reddit in a bad/risky situation

    or

    Give reddit what they want and keep the community the way it was. Reinforcing Reddit’s position and justifying all of the bullshit they’ve done while simultaneously negating their participation in the protests themselves.

    Only one of those options has an outcome that ends with it being for nothing.

    They chose the latter

      That’s where I am right now. I am the solo mod on one small sub (2.5k users) and a joint mod on a couple of larger ones (21k and 90k). All three are still dark and we are fully prepared that the endgame for this will be when Reddit forcibly remove us as mods. It might come sooner, it might come later, but without the active support of many of the larger subs the protest is not going to work.

      I have mentally become an ex-Redditor already, only logging on every few hours to check modmail and respond to users asking for access.
