Reddit's arrogance in all but ignoring the mods needsThis was pretty much the funniest part. It was a nice reality check for internet mods who actually think they have power.
/r/nba's mods kept it locked during the finals but used it themselves to talk about the gamesAnd they banned the guy who called them out on it and tried to delete the comments.
They did nothing wrong. An attempt to defend the standards of a site they clearly love.Clearly they were passionate about their beliefs, but I don't think mass shutdowns were in their power to do.
Youre infinitely closer to being a Redditor than a major shareholder.I mean, yeah. I actively use reddit. But as a user, I disagreed with the protest.

Im not a user, but what did you disagree with?I thought it was kind of silly of the users to try to force the owners of the site to comply with their demands. It's more complicated than even I fully understand, but basically reddit wanted third party apps to pay money for using reddit's API.
But the askHistorians sub participated and those guys seem largely on the level, so I'm disinclined to believe it was completely asinine. <_<I feel like there were some legitimate grievances to be had, but the silliest part is that they thought it would actually work.
It was stupid and accomplished nothing.The Star Trek reddit tried so hard to funnel people to a competing web site and changed its title to reflect that. It only recently changed the title back because nobody wanted to go there and people still carried on like nothing happened.

It's funny to see those now.
Never used third party apps and have no idea what mod tools were so desperately needed that it was worth the protest for. Whole thing kind of came and went for me. >_>

@Kim_Seong-a Can you get complicated questions answered on askHistorians?
For instance the before-contact America's had beer and bread, but did they have baking soda to make their cornbread rise?
