I just want to grab popcorn and hear if anyone knows what happened. I’m assuming the admins finally took control?

Happened between these 2 archives this morning:

Still protesting

    Because new scabs don’t know what’s involved. They literally have NO idea that it’s a fuckton more work than arbitrarily swinging a banhammer and letting posts roll in.

    I had a look at r/ModSupport the other day and was laughing my ass off because it was mostly new scabs complaining about appearance changes and CSS help (“how can I change this sub’s skin,” lol) and older mods of established subs begging for help (literally begging, not kidding) because they are overrun with bots and all the shit they used to keep at bay with 3PA developed API-based tools.

    This is an example of a begging post I pulled at the time (see the last line of the post - also change teddit.hostux.net to old.reddit.com or another Reddit redirector if teddix is down) :

    It’s a madhouse. I was very pleased to see it. :D

      Jesus. You weren’t joking. Why would anyone want to deal with that?

        Sincerely, cut and run already, Reddit mods. I used Reddit for over a decade, modded and built up a formerly dead rafting sub for a few years, and jumped ship as easily as swapping my toothbrush. I can’t imagine making a website part of my identity, especially a hostile one.
