Reddit Goes Nuclear, Removes Moderators of Subreddits That Continue to Protest

www.pcmag.com Reddit Goes Nuclear, Removes Moderators of Subreddits That Continue to Protest

Several subreddits are allowing porn and not-safe-for-work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.

I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.

SNOOcalypse - document, discuss, and promote the downfall of Reddit. @lemmy.ml

They just keep kicking the hornets nest

It doesn't matter how hard Reddit tries to break up the protest, if they don't reverse course on this, the site will implode on July 1st when the API changes happen and mods of large subreddits no longer can use the tools they need to do their jobs. Reddit's trying to claim they have new mod tools in the works, but I'm sure they're full of shit.
Everyone at that company is an absolute idiot for not listening to the moderators they're actively antagonizing right now, and it's going to blow up in their faces.
- If it's anything like their video player, it's going to be complete garbage. Something I love about lemmy is how I can watch videos with no lag or spotty loading. Whoever wrote reddit's video player needs to be shot.

Literally just ran Reddit Delete Suite on my account. RIP made sure to edit every post/comment as well. Guess I will try kbin and maybe look into lemmy since they can kinda be used the same, honestly the whole fediverse needs some love UI and UX wise. I have seen several posts about people dev apps for both, so looking forward to what the future holds for sure.
Shout out to the other two comments with the links thanks
- could you link the suite?
  i'd love to nuke the comments on my 15 year old account. F reddit.
  
  Just so you're aware, if you have more than 1000 comments/posts in your history they won't be indexed and immediately available. I'm assuming it takes time to propagate. So don't delete your account straight after, keep running it every other day until entries stop appearing.

How do I set my feed to hot by default?
