    Let 'em.

    interestingasfuck has been unmoderated and closed for weeks now. Other subs are going to get the same treatment, and going dark is worse than going NSFW. The most effective form of protest any sub can engage in at this point is forcing Reddit to fire and fail to replace them.

    I guess people just don’t want to moderate anymore.

      The ultimate “nobody wants to work”

      Except it was for free and everyone took the piss out of you for doing it.

        Y’know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.

          I’m all in on this fediverse thing to the point I’m (looking at) self hosting as many alternatives as I can.

          The big boys forgot the number one rule of the internet … don’t mention 4chan … The internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it

            I’m spending as much time here as I did on Reddit. I’d like to see a bigger python community and military spouse community, but that’ll come I’m sure.

          An even better strategy for Reddit would have been to prevent Spez from making public statements about it. If the protestations had been ignored it would have blown over quickly.
