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?

Ah ah ! YES ! FIRE THEM ALL !

I bet it went something like this:

"They'll all return, nobody cares, everything will be fine. Threaten the mods positions just to be sure."
And it was fine for them.

Suddenly...
"Was this actually supposed to work? Let's actually destroy the platform this time!"

Heh?

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.

is this really less effort than just providing better official tools and maybe offering privileged access to the API to select developers (making things like moderation tools, things that would not cut into Reddits bottom line)?

You know, things that have been requested by users for a decade or more, and obvious and easy compromises to grease the wheels? Keep things ticking over?

I mean I appreciate the company are planning an IPO but who'd invest in a company that's actively lazy and malicious lol

Oh wait. They would. The glorious rationality of markets. As you were, chaps

good, hopefully reddit dies.

[washu73]

Yep , Reddit is burning , pull up a seat , grab your popcorn and watch the world burn . This has been a long time coming,. Ever since they abandoned any pretence of moderate discourse this day has been inevitable.

No matter what happen next if reddit goes better or dies because fo that, that's a win in my book.

YAY REDDIT JANNIES CAN NOW ♥♥♥♥ OFF

Investors panic over anything. Means nothing.

Fidelity has stake in Twitter. At the end of April they adjusted its worth to 6.55 million from 19.66 million.
We will see if new Twitter CEO will save situation but so far it's worth is systematically going down.

Twitter is poised to win in the end with how rapidly social justice activism is being exposed as a corporatist cultural weapon. Especially now that BlackRock is on the defensive after being targeted by James O'Keefe amidst the budlight/target fallout.

Ain't they volunteers anyway? Can you even fire someone who isn't getting paid?
