Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has praised Elon Musk's handling of Twitter's finances, praising the aggressive cost-cutting and layoffs at the microblogging platform.

now he's mass-firing moderators who are resisting his attempt to reform reddit.

Reddit has started removing moderator teams managing subreddits that switched the labeling on their communities to Not Safe For Work (NSFW) in the latest protests against the site.

r/interestingas♥♥♥♥ (11 million subscribers), r/TIHI (1.7 million subscribers), and r/♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (1.6 million subscribers), which had all gone NSFW or loosened their rules, are currently unmoderated.

Removal of mods is perhaps Reddit’s biggest action yet against its moderators, who are unpaid volunteers that sometimes dedicate years of their lives to managing these communities. Some mods said they felt threatened by messages sent by the company last week indicating it would unseat moderators who didn’t work to reopen their communities, and now that it’s a reality, the effects on those communities could be massive.

twitter fired their agenda-pushing moderators. reddit is following suit. what site is next?

Freedom of speech needs to once again be what so many governments and rulers of past centuries took away and that is inalienable as it costs nothing to any but those that govern to simple turn the page.

Social media is not a public place. Freedom of speech doesn't apply. Why is this so hard for you people to understand?

Well, after all those "great" changes, Twitter is now worth 1/3 of what Musk paid in 2022.
Reddit will probably slowly follow the same footsteps.

Thats what, about 10.5 % of Elons total worth. He makes in the region of 14.5 billion a year on average. No matter how it turns out do you really think it makes much difference to his wealth creation and rising worth ?

To his wealth creation - it doesn't matter.
To his ego - it matters a lot.
He loves being centre of attention and failure isn't type of attention, he craves.

Are you even aware he is about the revolutionise the material used in electrical engines means ?

We are not talking jeff bezo or steve jobs here.

If you mean hairpin motor, it was first introduced in 2012 Toyota Prius, used in Chevrolet Volt too. Volkswagen uses it in all of their ev cars.
Real revolution need to be done in batteries - quicker loading, bigger range, less problems during harsh winters etc. In this field Toyota is pioneer and constantly pushing forward.

Do you not find it unconvincing that a person would buy a social media brand just to protect free speech in a world governments threaten to govern them through regulation. What is it he knows thats worth a 44 billion gamble and when we talk about his gambling (ie investment) , how often has he floundered ?

I'm all for freedom of speech but despite this, when journalists began to write about him not very positively, twitter blocked their accounts (to mention a few: Donnie O'Sullivan, Ryan Mac, Drew Harwell etc.).
Then he banned/throttled links to competitors (Mastodon, Substack), after that someone found in the code that Twitter is downranking particular topics, despite how popular they are among users while boosting Musk tweets.
Indian journalist and right to information activist (Saurav Das) found his tweets blocked globally due to demand from indian goverment.

LOL The same people complaining are the same people that said "It's a private company and can do whatever it wants" back pre-Musk twitter when twitter was banning anyone it deemed "not left enough".

HAHA!

There's still Tumblr, I say all the people upset at Reddit move over there to join the rest of the reeeeeeeeeturds.

[TwisterCat]

I stand corrected. I said they wouldn't do anything against the moderators, I'm surprised to see this. I think it's the right decision.

Because you're incorrect. Reddit is social media and a platform....now while they're a private company they DO enjoy platform protections that are supposed to be covered by the 1st Amendment.

Now Reddit like many big tech companies have a bias and thus aren't really a platform, they're a publisher, and as such shouldn't have the protections.

We should be able to sue the crap out of the moderators for defamation and other things, but we can't.

I think there needs to be more laws regarding moderators for platforms. IF they can ensure a conservative doesn't have a place to speak but can't do things like ensure their platform doesn't have harmful or illegal activity on it, then those moderators need to somehow face the consequences. Either allow them to be sued and thus remove platform protection or allow them to be criminally charged for aiding those criminal behaviors.

Just a reminder the current mods pissing and moaning were put in power around 2013 the first time Reddit had a blackout and didn't just stop after 2 days. The mods put in place are responsible for what has currently made reddit trash and are universally hated. They are also known to powertrip and take out petty grudges as well as censor based on their political leanings.

Why are the current Jannies throwing a tantrum?
They are losing power mod tools they had access to from 3rd party apps.

>Can they still use the same script mod tools?
yes, but they have to use a web browser and they are not tech literate enough to do it. Alternate web browser versions of reddit are still available and usable.

>Do the users support them?
Not really. The majority didn't want a black out or cared but the mods decided this was too important on their behalf. Compare this to 2013 when mods upvoted embarrassing info on CEOs, porn, gore and swastikas to hurt reddit and its advertisers.... oh and those reddit mods put in place banned that rebellious base that would take up those tactics.

>But reddit will die without the Jannies
Spez gave them the choice to keep up the protest and lose their brooms, or keep sweeping it up for free. They couldn't imagine a life where they didn't have their brooms. They could have called spez's bluff and did what /r/ImGoingToHellForThis did and nuke all content and ways to submit content as a ♥♥♥♥ you that hurts Reddit forever. Instead they wanted to keep their brooms.

>But ya wanna know the threat that made the pee their pants in fear?
Spez threatened to add a feature that would allow users to vote mods out.

>The protest was a failure. It is peak slackivism.
Not only could the jannies not go longer than 2 days without muh reddit, they didn't even line up an alternative for people to go to the way in 2013 they had Voat lined up to jump ship to.

Reddit mods deserve this
Reddit deserves to die

You think so? /r/steam is operated by the exact same people as this very discussion board. Let's say Valve would shut the entire discussion board down tomorrow, and all this here, all game hubs etc would be gone. Would you say "lul the mods deserve it"?
