Reddit admins vs turbo jannie cabal who did the same to get NNN kicked off, and who brigade and post the most vile stuff on the sane subreddits to get them banned.
Man that is one hell of a loaded statement. They are trying to churn out a lot of the existing mods and keep the ones willing to sell their souls.
Things will get dark fast when the worst of the worst are the only ones left. They are the ones who NEED Reddit for their...compulsions. I bet the mods they are adding are just sycophants, lobbyists and corporate sponsors.

They're tranny jannies. It's not like there are any good ones right now. The only exceptions are some niche subs that are actually useful, but they're less likely to be involved in this anyway. Someone pointed out that the list of participating subs is a showcase of all the worst subs on the site. They can't really get any worse since they were backed by the administration before the blackout. It's going to be the same shit sans the threat to Spez the tranny fucker's extortion scheme.

So the ones using Peddit as a CP exchange will continue using it as a CP exchange? Again, I'm not seeing how things can get any worse.
People on the UFC sub have actually started to talk about the discussion being much better due to all the lib retards boycotting reddit. Posts are actually upvoted for calling out women for lying now.
On one hand, this makes sense. Moderators were not elected, and do not always properly represent the thousands or millions of users in a sub, so it'd make sense to have the option to remove them when they abuse their position against their own userbase.
On the other hand, we've seen how the admins abuse this power themselves, by forcefully removing active moderators to replace them with sycophants in order to enforce their will against communities they dislike, as well as simply banning subreddits entirely.
But all in all, I really don't care much about this. Reddit is a cesspool. Let it burn.
Yeah, pretty much this. It's fun watching one side knife another, but there's no good side here. It's like watching rival gangs fight over some godforsaken corner of the crack market.
We regularly enforce our subreddit and moderator-level rules.
But only when they provide a pretext to push Spez the tranny fucker's political agenda. Honestly, let them fight. Either that shithole goes up in flames or the tranny jannies get purged. Either is a win for us.
I love how they kept hammering the idea that the people come to Reddit for “support.” We know what that really means: weird, sorta lonely teens and preteens looking for community and being groomed into alphabet-team faggotry of one kind or another.
Edit: and they “source” new mod teams. It’s already a shut-eating thing to say you “source” meat for your restaurant, though I suppose the admin-approved mods they shuffle into subs they don’t like are probably about as brain dead as slaughtered livestock.

Yep, nobody ever goes to reddit for technical support answers....
I honestly hope their plan is to replace all the mods. All the political-associated - particularly one that are supposedly shitholes - are nightmare places.
And, on top of that, the mods of the most hyper political, hyper propagandist subs - r/politics, r/worldnews, r/whitepeopletwitter, etc - curiously didn't participate in the blackout.
In fact, with lots of the other subs not clogging up the toppage, it seemed like there was more crap from those subs up on top than usual.
Basically, reddit publishes an API. An API is an Application Programmer Interface. It is the means by which someone else can write some software, and have that software do stuff on reddit - stuff like, read all the posts, read all the comments, make new posts, make new comments, etc - via making calls through that API.
By making use of that API, it is possible to write your own App that allows someone to use/interact with reddit, without going through Reddit's website, or their official App. Examples of this are stuff Apollo, RedditIsFun, BaconReader.
Shitbag leftist moderators also run software that makes use of that API to do stuff like, check other subs that they don't like, and then have their sub automatically ban someone that has been on one of those wrong think subs.
So - anyhow - reddit has tired of making that API available for free as, 1. Anyone using those other apps doesn't have to view reddit's ads, and doesn't have to provide reddit with their user data. While they are doing that, they are still consuming data, and costing reddit money. 2. Just as all the free art spread out over the internet instantly became valuable when people starting using it to train their "AI" image software (Stuff like Midjourney), all the user comments that reddit has are now assumed to have a bunch of value to those training AI/NLP (Natural Language Processing) bots like ChatGPT.
That act of them deciding use of it is no longer free has pissed off three groups. 1. The people that like to access reddit via third party Apps. 2. The power jannies who are worried its going to be harder to use their "tools" to ban people they don't like, and 3. The usual slacktavist virtue signalers that are always willing to climb aboard whatever the next big "cause" happens to be.
Me? I'm just in it to see the power jannies burn. I know they won't be replaced with anyone better, but there will still be some joy in seeing this currnent crop REEEEEEEE the fuck out when they lose their power over others.
I messaged a sub to let me in and this was the reply. "We’re participating in the blackout to protest Reddit’s API pricing. Please come back on June 14"
Let them fight.

Whoever loses, we win.

Not even a real thing, and reddit would be a stupid site to use for something like that.

Seriously. It should be obvious how "vote to have moderator removed" is going to be used, and by whom it is going to be (ab)used by.
Hopefully they continue to kick the mods in the wound where their balls used to be.

New mods would be the same as the old but even more compliant.
And, on top of that, the mods of the most hyper political, hyper propagandist subs - r/politics, r/worldnews, r/whitepeopletwitter, etc - curiously didn't participate in the blackout.
In fact, with lots of the other subs not clogging up the toppage, it seemed like there was more crap from those subs up on top than usual.
Sigh, you have a point.
I don't see how any new mods could possibly be even worse, so downsides are zero - and the incredible seething would be a huge upside.
Ok I'll bite out of morbid curiosity.
What are the jannies striking over?

Cheers for the excellent explanation.
I hope they both lose.

Cool. I'll have a Coke.
Sounds good to me. If this ultimately leads to the fall of this censorious, biased platform, I'm in favour.
Yeah, anywhere but here. The troon problem here is bad enough already. Maybe the bulldykes will give them the reception they deserve.
i have yet to see any trannies in our safe space
i assume they're kos
The one I see most pushed over there is something called lemmy. I assume it's even more commie than even the most left-leaning subreddits.
So reddit but with borders and immigration policies. Got it.
