Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.
It's not like they couldn't put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they're about to do something controversial again soon.
You're viewing a single thread.
Reddit is giving its staff a lot more power over the communities on its platform. Starting today, Reddit moderators will not be able to change if their subreddit is public or private without first submitting a request to a Reddit admin.
More power by having less power. I stopped reading here. Yeah, The Verge never disappoints.Edit: My bad. The Verge was correct this time. Guess if I read the article then I would understand.Welp, I guess this means something bad is gonna happen and Spez is trying to get in front of the inevitable protests.
I wonder what it could be....
Community mods are not the same thing as reddit staff (admin)... I mean probably sometimes they can be the same person, but not normally.
I see. Well then my bad for misunderstanding this. To me moderators are Reddit staff working for free. But I see that the word "staff" was used literally.
See you in the oblivion. xD
I think you might have misinterpreted that. Moderators are volunteer users, not reddit staff.
