MODERATORS
 

That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

Exactly. Where's all that information that used to be on Newsgroups when you had to use dial-up? It's kinda not at your fingertips anymore. If there was anything relevant in the 21st century, it's been repeated somewhere and you can find it. This is something that people seem to have forgotten: useful human knowledge is not reliant on the Internet. It's in our brains and we pass it on from generation to generation. Reddit or any other social media platform is not the owner of human knowledge. It's just a tool for its distribution that we use. People still control the useful knowledge and the internet is still controlled by people. Maybe we're fast approaching some sci-fi horror movie where that won't be true anymore, but that moment hasn't happened yet.
