Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them
Steve Huffman said he has planned to change the site's rules so that users had the power to vote out moderators, following a 48-hour protest blackout.
Public Voting = CONTROLLED.
This is just a new way to remove mods they don't want and replace them with ones they do. Pretending this is an improvement is hilarious.
If it makes a single powermod mad, it's all worth it.
Eh, it will just be replaced by a different powermod that is even more of a brown-noser to the elites in charge of reddit than before.
That's fine. It still means a current powermod experienced anguish in some way.
Well, at least they no longer have to spam child porn to take down wrongthink subreddits. They can just organize a vote brigade to take over any sub they don't like.
Uh oh....looks like a lot of manchildren jannies (transwomen included) are about to have to leave mommy's basement and touch grass!
And to announce this on Father's Day too...lol
The thing is, he isn't wrong and those ideas should have been in in some form from the start. Like I remember how many random irrelevant video games subs were forced to participate in George Floyd blackouts and posts, entirely on the will of the mods to virtue signal. Even this is mostly mods whining and holding a lot of subs hostage with crying and gaslighting to make them join their side.
But this is entirely a beast of his own creation. They wanted a site that ran itself entirely on unpaid volunteers in massive numbers and now those idiots think they are people.
I am sure subs with 11m users from whom 5m are bots will be fine.
Reddit mods are a plague.
They weren't necessary to begin with. Only as janitors to clean up bot-spam. Never to patrol 'communities', because the up- and downvote system would have taken care of that.
Yeah, the up- and downvote system tends to create filter bubbles and groupthink subcultures.
It better be ONLY in the case of power trip blackouts like this. Because I can think of a sub where a based mod has control and has prevented cucks from reaching power; I would be very annoyed if the sub got the chance to vote him out (the sub did not blackout).
Anything that destroys the site faster is good. Hopefully bots take over the whole thing.
Amphibian Steve Buscemi is right! Down with the tranny jannies!
Don't care what they do. Let them burn eachother.
