    How long will mods of big subs have the right to refuse before Reddit decides they know what’s best for the users and paywalls them anyways?

      That was my first thought. Mods found out how much power they actually had when reddit forced all subreddits open when the API debacle occurred. Wondering if some of the defaults or smaller communities will even get a shot at saying no.

        Mods found out how much power they actually had when they capitulated as soon as reddit threatened to replace them reddit forced all subreddits open when the API debacle occurred.

            a handlful of the mods actually own hundreds of subs, like less than 100 owns like 500 subs. they arnt definitely not going to give up that power, they have so many thousands or hundreds of thousands of minions.

              Yep, thats when reddit became lame to me initially, they own all the top subs and control the directive, its so against the concept of a community driven forum, they frive the conversation wherever they choose and get better (more abusive) tools every year

                wanna bet the political subs, even the conservative ones are owned by the same mods and they are just stoking anger and divisiness for the sake of RU. because i found eerily similarities between how the “left” political subs behave and the mods from the right ones, almost the same thing. how can they not see they allowed right wing propaganda articles into politics sub.

          even the banning X link was such a weak protest, how about banning all twitter related posts, because the site gets most of thier engagement from x-based posts.

            That, I disagree with. Doing something is better than doing nothing, banning X links still hurts.

      Das tritt nach meiner Kenntnis… ist das sofort! Unverzüglich!

      theres only 92 controlling the 500 top subs, so not long. and those are the powermods, that most likely has reddit admin’s ear(direct line of communications).
