    r/interestingasfuck is still unmoderated and it doesn’t look like that’s gonna change any time soon. I doubt they have anyone to take over that many subs

        Imagine that, it takes an army to keep the peace. And they had an unpaid one working around the clock for them. Reddit didn’t shoot themselves in the foot, they blew the whole leg off

        That’s what those “mods are nazis” types don’t understand. Sure some mods are power tripping assholes, but most of them aren’t and are passionate about their communities.

        Many who volunteer for the job also don’t stay long because of the work it entails, in addition to being called a nazi when some dumbfuck clearly breaks the rules and then harasses you for it.

        My mod friends from my country’s subreddit stepped down because they didn’t want the abuse anymore after banning many racist and homophobic assholes. They all targeted their (the mod’s) username and made threads stalking all their activity and mass downvoting everything they did.

      Wait, doesn’t reddit remove subs that are considered unmoderated?

        They archived interestingasfuck, so there are no new submissions. But based on the later posts, it looked like they might have left it an unmoderated free for all for a bit.

        Yes, but Reddit has been using the term to mean whatever they want to remove moderators from protesting subs.

          It’s pretty clear that the dont believe anything they say. The breaking point for me was when spez started talking about voting on moderators, a change that is absolutely impossible to practically achieve if you think about it for even a minute. They are just saying and doing whatever they want because they plan on selling the scorched earth anyway.
