Redditors Gave Up

This is the greatest reddit outcome of All Time Merch https://moistglobal.com/

Hey guys, first post here :)

Just saw this video and wanted to share it with you. Found it very interesting and I think this is a good recap of what went wrong with the strikes. Honestly, I’m kinda glad that things went this way, because it gives the opportunity for the Fediverse to grow even more.

What do you all think?

    Thanks for your comment. Very insightful indeed.

    I agree with you when you say that not all mods are the same. However I do believe this kind of behavior from these “bad mods” reopening their subreddits not to lose their mod status was pathetic. To give up so easily on something so important for the future of the platform. It just doesn’t make much sense to me.

    I do appreciate the mods and users that continue to fight. I know there are some good mods trying to change things around and I support their fight. But unfortunately I won’t be there to see the result of their fight. I hope they succeed and make Reddit realize that is not going anywhere without their user base and not everything in life can be about making more money.

      I agree, but they’re a minority.

      Many mods reopening have just changed tactics, because there’s no fight anymore if the fighters themselves are silenced, and they’re coming up with very smart way to do that (remember the purpose is to do as much damage as possible to ruin ads and the IPO)

      Just an example - my favorite (quoting):

      Spez later revealed an exciting new idea for a system where users will be able to vote moderators out of their positions and install new ones. This type of pure democracy on a site like reddit is bound to be wildly successful and incorruptible. But, there’s only one problem: At the pace it takes reddit to develop new mod tools and systems, it’ll be years before such a system is ready. That clearly will not do in a society built on instant gratification.

      That is why the r/PoliticalHumor mod team would like to announce that starting today we are bringing pure democracy to the subreddit: All users are now mods, and as such, are part of the “Landed Gentry”. Welcome to the club.

      That’s on a 1 million and 500 thousands users sub, imagine the chaos :D

      I won’t be there to see the result of their fight

      I stopped using reddit before the blackout and I’m not going back, but news reach us anyway :)
