It’s just Reddit centralising control to the admins, and cracking down on dissent. It’s funny how much it mirrors real life instances of countries sliding into authoritarianism. But obviously this is just a website and doesn’t have such severe consequences.
Huffman and the Reddit admins are scummy bastards, and all decent people should leave that platform immediately, the same as Twitter.

I get why mods care about the unique spaces they’ve made, like askhistorians or something. But why tf would anyone at this point give free labor to mod funny or any of the other generic monster subs? Make the pigboy police the nazis on his platform to keep advertisers happy

Almost certainly this. It’s on par with what Reddit has been doing the last few years.

Wait. I just saw another post about thousands of bot accounts joining new subs. Is this to ensure “le Reddit army” can still appear active?

Ah, a fellow le gentlesir in the wild!
tips hat
Lol, if you don’t get it, you’re not a Redditor. ;)
2 yearsI wonder if they censor mentions of Lemmy or if all the people that left for Lemmy are gone and no one noticed. Like, why are people still there and putting up with more of Spez’s bullshit? Do they not know they can just leave?
I am not on Reddit, but, would making a subreddit private lead to difficulty in training the AI and collecting data?

sorta, by reducing or eliminating new activity on that sub.

Kinda like that time the king of England took away Massachusetts’ legislatures. But I have a feeling the king here will fair better this go around.
Hopefully he won’t, Reddit may seem more powerful in this scenario, but they aren’t invulnerable to threats or attacks. Hopefully enough angry people decide to do what’s necessary when the time comes.
