Reddit is reaching out to moderators after tensions rose over recent policy changes and API pricing. A Reddit admin acknowledged the strained relationship and outlined new weekly feedback sessions and other outreach efforts to repair ties. However, moderators remain skeptical of Reddit's efforts given mixed results from past initiatives. Many mods feel Reddit has been unwilling to make meaningful changes to address their concerns like more accessible API pricing or exemption for accessibility apps. After a tumultuous few months, moderators have very low expectations that Reddit's latest efforts will result in real changes.

As a mod of a 200k subreddit, yeah it's not a power thing. I saw some fun thing people liked doing and made a place specifically for that kind of content. It was fun to see all the goffy stuff people made. Yeah every now and then someone was being a dick and needed to be removed but it was an overall fun place.
