It’s not like they couldn’t put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they’re about to do something controversial again soon.
More power by having less power. I stopped reading here. Yeah, The Verge never disappoints.
Community mods are not the same thing as reddit staff (admin)… I mean probably sometimes they can be the same person, but not normally.
I see. Well then my bad for misunderstanding this. To me moderators are Reddit staff working for free. But I see that the word “staff” was used literally.
See you in the oblivion. xD
I think you might have misinterpreted that. Moderators are volunteer users, not reddit staff.
Welp, I guess this means something bad is gonna happen and Spez is trying to get in front of the inevitable protests.
I wonder what it could be…
