MODERATORS
 

Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

Even if reddit backpedals, many of these communities are now irreversibly fractured. From the ones that went dark and had moderation replaced, or creators left, to outright posting porn or shitposting John Oliver, all of these communities will take time to fix and go back to normal for every reason under the sun. Half of reddit is on fire and just as so, you can heal from a burn but it's never the same.

This abusive relationships has evolved again, and spez is still hitting you now he's burned you. To use Louis Rossmans words "it's not even about the api anymore. Look how the entire company acts when they're told they're wrong. Look how much they will do. How far they will go. Do you really want to invest your time or money as an investor in a company it's own users are actively trying to burn down?"

These mods are in an abusive relationship with Reddit. Like abusive husbands / wives, they are not going to change. Leave
