A few days ago I didn't have a single reason to leave reddit. Yet, with so many reasons now, here I am, and I look forward to lemmy and kbin.

MODERATORS
I thought most mods asked their communities what they'd like to the mods to do. In which case they are already doing what the communities have asked.
OMG, can you play a reverse uno card on this? So much of this argument is the problem with the changes they are making. So frustrating.
this is so desperate. they write this stuff to make up an excuse for take away its creators and in the name of the "users". it's just so they can keep up their advertisement revenue im agry
It's ridiculous that they are referring to the protest as a "break". Are they that dilusional?

Fuck Reddit
Yeah this type of stuff brought me Lemmy.
Reddit preaches democracy but suddenly when this same democracy votes to focus on John Oliver content, they threaten to take control.
From "redit is 4 evry1 guise lets be demcratic" to no, not like that. Fuck it I'm taking this shit "
What a disaster man
Remember the old saying: if a company is giving you something for free, you're not the customer, you're the product.
Subreddits are Reddit's product. Reddit makes money by selling subreddits to advertisers. If moderators damage that product, Reddit takes action. End of story.
It's pretty obvious that reddit needs these communities. But these communities don't need Reddit, clearly.
I really hope Reddit dies a slow painful death, it's already mostly bots talking with each other in the main subs. They got too greedy and think they're so large their sh* don't stink. Apologize for the crass, but man I just hope we get more major blunders and fuckups from spez&co

Just start deleting every comment that isn’t hate speech.
Honestly, mods should just force the issue and make Reddit replace them. It's going to be a big problem if Reddit needs to find new moderators for hundreds if not thousands of subreddits. And that's assuming all the new moderators will play along and not immediately join the protest, go on a tyrannical power trip, or just go dark after a few weeks.
Why would anyone even want to be a mod right now? It's like your boss threatening to fire you from a job you're not paid for while the building is actively on fire.

The only way to win is to not play (being a mod at reddit)
Got one too, my sub is only 17k. Let’s see what they’re gonna do since it’s staying private
Owners of reddit seem like tin pot dictators.
Love how this is a full 180° from the "Create your own subreddit…for ___" messaging that appeared in the sidebar for more than a decade.
"Redditos rely on these spaces..."
And mods rely on the modding tools? Btw what would they say if you made the sub public but in a way that no one can post anything
Reddit admin seem to be under the very mistaken impression that the passive viewers are the source of Reddit's success. Creating and modding a sub is a labor of love, and people who have the love, time, and patience to do it well are a tiny minority of Reddit's users. When they alienate mods, Reddit dies.

At this point I'm cheering for reddit to keep going as they are so the migration keeps on going too.
