They did kick out a lot of mods during the protests and moderation has gone to utter shit since the api change
Yeah new moderation didn’t stand a chance because the good mod tools were all 3rd party.
So many good mod bots aswell all gone
Yeah. I read an article (also on Ars Technica funnily enough) about how some moderators aren't equipped to deal with things. I believe they singled out r/canning because of the potential for food poisoning, but r/ender3 had a sympathetic "mod" who only joined that subreddit as a moderator just to fuck with Reddit corporate when they were replacing the mods.
Reddit, predictably, did not respond, so whoever wrote that article did their job right.
Oh god canning I heard about the new mods haveing less than a clue about it christ that's a massive fuck up
