Props to the mods, but they are on borrowed time. It is just a matter of time before Reddit admins step in and take over the site. I just hope that replacement mods say enough to get the role and then immediately carry on.
That's wrong. Reddit cannot find replacement mods that easily. Have you looked at r/interestingasfuck? It's modless after a week, and technically closed because Reddit is too dumb to realize that they actually made the sub participate in the blackout by removing the mods. If many subs remain closed at the same time, it will be impossible for Reddit to find free replacement mods.
The estimated free labor done by mods is valued at around 3.5m a year, how are they gonna find that amount of manpower? And how are they gonna properly vet these mods in such short notice?
Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit
I watched this happen on the britishcolumbia sub. They got too many reports or something about misinformation (my memory is unclear about this point, but there was some dispute about misinformation), so the admins closed the sub, posted a message asking for the community to select moderators, then completely forgot about the whole thing. The sub (a sub for an entire Canadian province) was closed for like six weeks. Then some random did a reddit request and they gave it to him, not the mods the community voted on. This random waited for a while, then started letting racist stuff through, and booted the old mods who objected to the racist stuff he was allowing. And Reddit made it all happen.
The idea of Reddit replacing even a hundred mods, in a single day, with anyone capable of the job, is laughable. They couldn't do a single sub in over six weeks, and even after six weeks they fucked it up.
I swear to a god I don't believe in, Aaron was the only one of them that was ever competent.
A software company that can't even automate their processes. I would love to have a peek at what projects all of the devs are assigned to. Reddit employs something like 1200 people! And yet somehow there hasn't been a proper value add to the platform in like a decade. It sounds like now they're getting caught with their pants down on data privacy without proper processes in place for an influx of requests. Call me crazy, but if I were a social media platform I think I would put privacy legislation right at the top of the risk management priority list.
I'm sure that chaos will look good for future investors. 🥴
