The title is from this video, although that one is very short.
I’m glad I’ve given up on Reddit after the blackout, this proposal to vote out moderators will only encourage raiding, as only the people who pay attention to the votes will decide who stays on. And let’s not forget that one of the cornerstones if Reddit has always been that you can make your own sub.
This cannot possibly end well. Beyond its likely initial purpose of ending the protest, how does it work after that? There’s only so far you can go with stopping bots from voting moderators out and taking over subreddits. Even if you somehow get rid of all the bots, it’s not that difficult for a coordinated group to take over a subreddit, especially smaller ones.
This seems like shooting from the hip.
Let’s be real.
Reddits IPO is dependent on inflated bot numbers. Bots aren’t a problem, they’re the future.
