Should Reddit remove moderators who continue to protest API changes by making their subreddits private?


As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."

Mods who do not agree to reopen subreddits that have gone private will be removed.

If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

Not really been following this but I've heard Reddit mods being kinda shitty too, with a select few of them having a monopoly on a lot of subreddits. So I'm just gonna watch the chaos unfold.

At first I'm thinking if reddit will be replacing volunteer mods with paid mods. Then I remember many redditors will jump at the chance for free for the power trip.

And being chosen by the admins? That's like a war boy being anointed by Immortan Joe himself.

I mean that was obvious when they threatened indefinite blackout. Reddit obviously could just take back control of the subreddits and put new authoritarian hungry people in charge instead.

His friend is Reggie, former President of Nintendo of America. Reggie was excited to announce a wonderful opportunity to think about the way subreddits are run. He was ready to announce he is taking over the Nintendo subreddit.

Honestly though, would be nice if they broke up the power mod crew (they make many subreddits terrible) AND they didn't implement the API changes. However, I'm guessing the API changes are gonna go through.

Brutal but if they're not changing their API plans anyway then the communities staying down is pointless.

There's too much information to lose in those subreddits.

Huffman said in the interview that Reddit will not force communities to reopen, which contradicts the messaging that moderators are receiving.

I wonder how much of it is already financially motivated outside of the IPO. For instance the NFL sub is still down and I know the NFL has an official account that posts there so its a pretty decent chunk of marketing no longer functioning.

Of course I guess the whole thing already is financial since prospective investors need to know they have ultimate control of the platform.

This really could kill it to the extent what exists at IPO is a skeleton.

No, it just means they'll have to actually mod it instead of relying on a third party app to do it for them. It's like that trash r/trueunpopularopion (AKA i'm a poor disciminated against conservative) that keeps showing up on my homepage. Some crappy automod program keeps replying to comments about fire being a useful tool for cooking or something.
