    I thought they would just take over or replace the mod list. Guess I was wrong

      Yeah this is the dumbest move possible. I can only assume they’re trying to scare other mods into alignment because they can’t replace the moderators effectively. Well, I’ll cheers to their stupidity!

      Fucking dumb to force them to reopen and then when mods say fuckit ban the sub. This is some bad parenting.

        But I thought millions of people depended on the communities involved and that’s why they had to reopen.

        Doesn’t banning the community just fully go against their stated reasoning?

          We are under no obligation to pretend that’s not a tissue-paper thin disguise for getting the moderators to act how Reddit wants here.

      And who are they going to have take over mod responsibilities (for free) in all of these communities at once? This is why mods need to call their bluff and force them to try to replace them.

        Saw someone complaining about the protest in a thread where the top mod was offering up the sub to whoever wanted it. I suggested they (person complaining) go ahead and step up and ask to be a mod. They replied something like, “I don’t wanna be an E-jannie…[blah blah].”

        These people assume that there’s plenty of other people who will step-up and take over. We’ll see I guess.

          Whenever people say “Somebody should do something!” they very rarely ever add “and the somebody is me”
