#reddit threatens mods of closed subreddits. So again: #boycottreddit
Let's use the fediverse and let this poor-led company die by its own hands (hello spez)

So #Reddit is going to change the rules so that #moderators can be removed by the users of a subreddit. This is a self-serving move. They do not care about #democracy. What they want is the blackout to end. They could remove the moderators themselves, but that might backfire.
The quotes from the execs at Reddit strike me as what tin pot dictators might say.

In other boycott news, while leaving Reddit is making me sad, I'm actively pleased to be boycotting Target. They had so much queer-friendly goodwill compared to the other retailers, and have thrown it away to keep active terrorists as customers and drive away their queer customers.
I may feel less pleased to be shunning Target next time I have to buy pants, but I'll figure it out. I cannot believe I tolerated Target employing private security people for SO LONG, and then the second an actual threat happens, Target crumples like a wet piece of paper. It disgusts me. Boooooooo.

A summary of what is going on. I have a Reddit account but never really used it much if at all. So I am likely to clean it out and delete it (or empty it and keep it for the username). I may or not look into the Fediverse options.

Just signed up on #kbin and pretty impressed so far, excited to see how this develops! #boycottreddit
2.7 BILLION subscribers aren't getting their karma fix and people complaining that single dev federated alternatives are going slow today?
Behave, and stop feeling so entitled. And stand for something that isn't shareholder profits.

5000 subreddits (over 73% of all subreddits) and counting have gone private to #SaveThirdPartyApps #Save3rdPartyApps
#BoycottReddit to change the trajectory of the internet and stop the ultra-monetizers!

I keep reflexively almost going to Reddit but stop myself The current owners either donāt understand the community or donāt care about it and until that changes Iāll support the lockdowns and will personally #boycottReddit
Iāve been offloading on my Obsidianās second brain all of my saved posts/comments from Reddit, in preparation for the blackout (especially since I donāt think Iāll be wanting to use the platform ever again). And let me tell you, 9 years of saving random shot is a hell of a long time, but thereās quite some fascinating stuff in here!

Call me a cynic, but if you're the CEO of Reddit and you do an AMA because people are concerned, maybe a total of 14 replies isn't in the spirit of ANSWERING anything. #reddit #boycottReddit
@PennyOaken
I will never use the official Reddit app or ānew Redditā.
The only exception is if I include āRedditā with Google queries. But if Iām forced to use New Reddit for that, I wonāt write any replies, or posts, or even ālikeā anything.
Imagine yourself in the middle of junkyard, a plastic bag on your head, trying to befriend a horde of zombiesā¦
