      Well sadly they did end the message with: “Lastly, if you suddenly begin to post, or approve content that features sexually explicit content to your community in order to justify the NSFW label, we will immediately remove and permanently suspend moderators who have participated in this action.”. So I think they will just, yet again, remove ‘non-compliant’ mods.

        Can confirm, was removed from /r/StarWarsDadJokes together with the other mods that way. I regret nothing, I’m not going back anyway.

        It’s funny that that sub is now completely inaccessible due to being unmoderated. So… Mission Accomplished? xD

    I hope this all does them in.

    I anxiously check news headlines each day hoping to see that reddit is canceling their IPO.

    I can’t wait until their valuation is sub-$1B down from a $10B peak.

    Fuck Steve Huffman.

      There’s definitely financial damage and I don’t know how spez still has a job but it would take a long-running war to drive numbers down enough and I don’t see that happening personally. Unfortunate but it is what it is

        It doesn’t matter what happens to reddit for me anymore. The best, most anti authoritarian users left for the fediverse. I’ve been getting pretty sick of reddit and this exodus means there’s enough userbase here to replace it for my use case.

      I spent 10 years on that site. I’m not sure I can bring myself to delete all my comments and the profile itself.

      I haven’t logged in since Apollo died though

            Why hello fellow Memmy user. Have you noticed you can use the sunset theme and Dracula theme from Apollo

            Another Apollo like app is wefwef and it’s a web based app but like Memmy more

        Why let them have all that content you provided though? Don’t get me wrong what you all do with your accounts is your business. I’m not about to be that person that comes barging in with “YOU NEED TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT”, but if it helps lend any credibility to what I have to say - I was on there for over a decade with over 150k karma (99% of that comment karma so I participated a lot in discussions over the years) and as difficult as it was, I deleted my post/comment history and then my account. I don’t want to support them by allowing them to profit off of my free labor/efforts.

        Not saying every single comment I made was gold or worth much, but if it helps them to pump up their numbers for advertisers/stockholders then I’d just as soon remove my contribution.

          I tried, but it didn’t take. The comment deletions were all restored the next day. I haven’t asked for the account to be deleted, but I think that still leaves behind all the comment history.

        I don’t think I’ll delete my account or comments. There’s a lot of memories there. I’ve said a lot of nice things to nice people. Reddit was one of the places I grieved for my father. And I didn’t have my act together enough to download my comment/post history before the third-party export tools stopped working.

          I respect your decision, but I also wish to write that your experiences are yours, and nobody can take that away from you. Lately, I have been working to take pictures of items I don’t need anymore to help me remove things I don’t need from my life as a way to hold the experience but let go of the object.

          This is not advice, only, know that nobody owns your experiences but you.

      Some of them have

      However, “the mod team” is a diverse and fragmented group with many individuals across Reddit

        Many of whom have dissenters and/or “Reddit Sympathizers” within their team that would sooner sell out the rest of the mod team just to keep what measly crumbs of “power” they have.

        And why would you complain. I was really upset when Apollo kicked the bucket even though this month would have been when I used Apollo for a year :(

        But I found lemmy and decided to check it out since mastodon wasn’t really scratching my itch. It was good but not what I was looking for long term. I’m here on Memmy and now Apollo is nicely tucked into bed in my new social media folder next to lemmy and mastodon and I haven’t looked back

      Honestly, they probably like the feeling of “power” (as sad as that sounds) that comes with moderating a community as large as theirs on Reddit.

    It would be awesome if the mods were like, “You know what? Fuck it.” and deleted their communities.

            In the US, at least, you have a significant portion of the population with a puritanical bent. To top it off, they’re extremely vocal, political, and organized.

            Right or wrong, advertisers are terrified of angering these people.

    I don’t get why people don’t protest in other ways. You could easily scare reddit financially by sending mail to their advertisers saying “Hi! We’re protesting reddit and their advertisers for Reddit’s changes on API”
