Its been obvious for weeks with the slow drip of news, the mods were getting the shaft and nothing was done about it (to my knowledge).
Either they really fear the sobriety from their little bit of authority, there's a movement that's going on in a Discord in a back alley and nobody's said anything, or these people really are rubes, fucking buffoons, absolute morons.
And I doubt the last point because I saw firsthand how Reddit admins quickly turned the argument against the protesting "power-tripping" mods during the API revolt with blatant astroturfing. I saw it. I know it happened, you can't tell me otherwise.
