What I don't get is who they're posturing for now.

They showed the developers that the game was fixed and there was no plan to negotiate in good faith.

They've shown the userbase they aren't responsive to strongly held concerns.

They've shown a potential IPO audience that they're capable of burning down the platform in record time and not even waiting until after they cashed out to do so.

They've shown everyone they don't even have the most basic understanding of corporate bullshit speak. It's not hard to put together "We hear your concerns and will assemble a committee of top minds who will proceed to ignore these concerns."

I guess they just want to say they didn't back down. That and $12.50 gets you a cup of coffee.

no wonder since most of the subs are only going offline for 2 days

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I couldn't be the only one who found 2 days to be a ridiculously low time as well.

There's a stupid question I have (c/NoStupidQuestions?)

What do mods gain from reopening the subs after two days, even if demands are not met? Are they gaining money or something? Perhaps the bigger ones.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Valid question. Hate to say this, but if most subs reopen after 2 days, we're essentially handing reddit bosses an easy win. It's like protesting with no terms, and instead merely creating a brief storm that'll pass and quickly be forgotten. Might as well throw eggs at a tank with that thinking.

The only way this protest works, is if subs stay dark with no deadline, and terms that must be met to end the standoff. That's how these things work. That's how it's always worked.

Some subs have already decided to go indefinite. They are coordinating in r/ModCoord.

Then the next thing to so is mass delete your posts and comments and then the account. Scorched earth and all that jazz

I'll be interested to see if they try to keep the money happy by trying to kill porn on reddit. If they try that reddit would be in worse shape than Trump.

"we're going dark for two days!" isn't going to change anything. reddit mods live for reddit. Why would they leave?
