This is what I want to see from every subreddit that is forcibly reopened. The admins can try and force mods to ‘do their jobs’, but they sure as shit can’t force what can be/gets posted!
I modded one that was like 20-25 active at any given time and even that was a pain in the butt, I can only imagine how much harder it gets as you increase the orders of magnitude.
Especially since it is super easy to both open a new community on Lemmy with yourself and your friends as mods and to also advertise it as the official new home to all users.
I mean makes sense they might be a little cautious about what they do, cause like if they get removed the people reddit replaces them with aren’t gonna let anything supporting the protests go through.
I was talking more about the subreddits that are reopening but still doing stuff to effectively keep their subreddits not usable. They’re at least trying to toe the line so they can still do stuff like that where as if they just ignored what Reddit says they would just get replaced with mods that will go the complete opposite direction and stop any talking about protests.
Ah I didn’t know what they were doing, I assumed it was something similar to what r/pics is doing. Haven’t been back on Reddit since I uninstalled it the day before the blackout started.
I think they could if they wanted to, I know that some subs actually hide your posts with automod until they get released by the mod team so it stands to reason you could do that on one of the core subs. It wouldn’t be fun for the mods and would definitely cause a lot of frustration and issues with people all trying to be the first to post something but then they have to wait 8 hours for a mod to wake up and approve it.

I was a mod of a 3m subscriber sub…. I do NOT get why mods would give a shit about being removed. Shits really no fun.

Why are there people that many large subs then? I agree that I don’t see the appeal but some people seem to seek it out.

@kadu Some people like power more than anything. Being a subreddit moderator just gives them that adrenaline rush of control
Virgin making the sub about John Oliver vs the chad taking the name of the reddit too seriously
I just posted to the steam sub about how much I love steam turbines
