If I’m recalling correctly, a couple of the larger subs had mods stop completely, and reddit just replaced them with power mods
Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

What remains as methods of protest after this? I wonder what would happen to a subreddit if it’s moderators would simply stop moderating all together…
But I guess admins could always make someone a moderator, there’s always someone willing to have a power trip.

That wasn’t just larger subs. They changed the rules for requesting a takeover of a sub, and there are hundreds of subs it affected. There are even cases of it being really dangerous, there’s a shroom hunting sub that is poorly moderated and has had life-threatening advice left up.

Deleting your account and leaving the site. Reddit clearly doesn’t care about the users, and hasn’t for a very, very long time. Remaining there justifies their actions.

I remember a couple of people on Reddit smugly saying I’d be back soon after I talked about leaving during the third party app shitshow.
I’ve never went back, so eat a bag of dicks random Reddit users!

Same. There’s been a few times I’ve needed info from reddit subs, but I’ve never interacted since. I miss some of the activity in the more niche subreddits, but I’m more productive with my time now so I guess that’s good lol
