Seems there are plenty of Reddit bootlickers lined up ready to oust all the protesting moderators. https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1668683335718035457

Worse still, the mods at r/Apple caved and voluntarily reopened instead of letting Reddit replace them: https://web.archive.org/web/20230616040715/https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/apple/comments/14al426/rapple_blackout_what_happened/

They also have no intention of moving their community anywhere else... https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/ModCoord/comments/148ks6u/indefinite_blackout_next_steps_polling_your/jo6k0ox/

Apparently mods are being threatened: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/15/reddit-threatens-to-remove-subreddit-moderators/

[–] Jessica 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but why would you stay if moderating is going to get a lot more difficult in 2 weeks? That was half the point of the entire blackout as I understood it. It’s not like they’re getting paid.

[–] ulu_mulu 4 points 2 years ago

I don't understand that either, as you said, moderation becoming very difficult, especially for NSFW content, was half the point of the blackout.

Another good chunk was people with disabilities being cut off completely.

All those affected should just quit and be done with it.

I'm not affected but I quit reddit nonetheless because I have no intention of going on being treated worse than a doormat by the CEO.

Lmao "we love reddit and hope for a peaceful resolution"

I'm so happy this happened. I was really sad at first but when I visited r/piracy and found a link to lemmy I was so happy. Fuck reddit. Lemmy is so much better

I got a good laugh out of that as well lol. Hopefully the goal post doesn't keep moving, and they actually stick to encouraging their community to move to the fediverse
