Think this case in particular is pretty interesting. Former default subreddit and one of the largest on the site (Top 20 at least).
I think /r/videos is where we’ll see how things actually play out with the reddit admins. I’m guessing at some point the admins will step in and replace the mods.
100%.
I’d be surprised if /r/videos stays dark past the cutoff date of the original blackout.
The pretense of Reddit being open, fair, and ran by the users is long dead. Reddit is now closer to something like Facebook than it is to the site I joined in 2010. The only different is that Facebook pays their moderation staff.
So what you’re saying is it’s now worse than Facebook. Yikers!
Yeah, sometimes if Reddit doesn’t like the vibes of mods they will replace the mods by some supermods and other people.
