Apparently the admins aren’t too happy with the new form of protest that Reddit moderators found, since NSFW subs don’t run ads. Brought to Reddit users by the zombie admin account u/ModCodeOfConduct!

The admins also removed the entire mod team of r/MildlyInteresting (original link) and replaced it with either employees or sycophants, while giving all mods a 7d suspension ban.

Reddit: “subs belong to the community!”

Also Reddit: “screw the community, this is MY PRECIOUS!”

I’m willing to bet that r/ModCoord will be eventually banned. And the ban message will say something cryptic, vague, and meaningless.

    Wasted some time browsing it. Old mods are getting nuked across a hoist of subs, for example every mod on /r/celebrity was added one hour ago and old mods got banned.

    If Reddit thought APIs were expensive, time to see how much it costs to use your employees as content moderators until IPO

      I remember seeing some maths on that - roughly 3.4 million dollars. The damage will be actually worse because a few of them won’t say “I’m leaving”, they’ll just step out of their subs and do nothing until they pile up with crap.
