The Guilt Tripping of this message is out of this world.
Is it possible the changes we are making are damaging to the way people are using reddit?
No, it's the mods who are wrong.
Not just the mods, the communities themselves. Many voted to go dark.
I hope they will find equally creative solutions like r/pics.
A nuclear one that comes to mind is taking the subs name too literally and turn it into bestgore.
Maybe Huffman can introduce some sort of social credit system to keep everyone's behavior in line.
ensuring that active communities are able to remain stable and active (and open) is very important to us making gobs of money and force feeding more ads down people's throats.
Our goal here is to ~~work with the existing mod team to find a path forward~~ become authoritarian dickwads and threaten you to ~~make sure your subreddit is usable for the community~~ make sure your subreddit earns us money. If you are not able to or willing to reopen and maintain the community ~~please let us know~~ we will dispose of you like yesterday's garbage and do whatever the hell we want anyway, even though we rely completely on all of you to provide us, for free, with the content and moderation that we want to use to earn us gobs of money.
I fixed up that quote for them.
