    The other option is for all the mods to quit. AI can probably do a lot of basic tasks, but without mods they wouldn’t have a site pretty quickly.

    In the next protest mods should allow content like porn as another way of protest.

    They can’t have anyone but themselves breaking the site. 😂 People should figure out a good way to protest Reddit. Ddos attacks can’t be fixed. 😁

    A friend and I were recently discussing how spineless modern boycotts are.

    We set a goddamn deadline for when the Reddit boycott ended. No wonder Spez just waited. Most people then just continued using the website. What a disgrace.

    Imagine if after one week of the genocide in Gaza, the BDS efforts just stopped. A boycott must be indefinite. It should go on until demands are met.

    I’m not surprised. I’m on this site because I’m sick of being banned on reddit for thinking wrong.

    Here’s the VP of Reddit’s community cited in the article, Laura Nestler, preaching super engagement from a platforms most fanatical users to power content for the 90%.

    She suggests, intrinsic motivators such as “autonomy”.

    She was at Yelp prior, which if you want to look at a steaming pile of a wasted company, man give reddit 5-10 years.

    I recently wanted to ask something on reddit after 2 years away, because a certain mod dev is there. Got a message it got deleted because i don’t have the karma to post there. Thanks for the effort, never again. That’s why i don’t write on Stack Overflow, too.

    Lack of imagination.

    Mods can still dump 10k trash messages in a sub making it unusable. (Or smart messages in the case of most subreddit who are trash anyway).

    Set-up automoderator with rules reventing anyone below 5 billions karma to participate.

    Ban everyone.

    I’m sure there are a lot of other options.

    …we cannot allow actions that deliberately cause harm

    Seems like that’s about the only actions Reddit execs have taken over the last several years. Glad I left when I did.

    This is not a smart choice, they do know that the alternative to peaceful protests like this is violent protest right? They want to challenge that or do they think it won’t be done because it’s “illegal”, that didn’t stop these guys now did it?
