MODERATORS
/r/interestingasfuck suggests there is a shortage of people willing to moderate -- or that Reddit is willing to let large, popular subs die if they protested.
Reddit has literally kicked mods out of a sub then banned that same sub shortly after for being unmoderated. That sort of stupidity cant be intimidated or reasoned with.
Spez more or less said point blank that he views Musk's management of Twitter as inspiration for how he intends the site to be run. That should have been enough on its own to let people know what level of insane they were dealing with.
