    Let me get this straight. They do the work for free, and are upset you took their tools. You then tell them open the subreddits or we open them for you. So they do that, and change some rules, now you’re upset and telling them how to moderate their subreddits. Like seriously Reddit. Why not just moderate the subreddits yourself?

    You have people who have given you FREE WORK for decades, they have increased the value of your site, and they’re justifiably angry, and all you’re doing is shitting on them more.

    What a fucking joke. I know this won’t directly affect the IPO but I hope some companies are looking at this and realizing that Reddit admins have made all of this so much worse.

      At this point if I were a moderator I would just remove all NSFW tags and allow unmarked NSFW content, like just to fuck with spez, instead of John Oliver we just post NSFW content on every community and the mods do nothing

      If every mod that didn’t agree with Reddit simply quit at the same time, the site would go to hell.

      My advice to mods is to create a new community here and tell the community before Reddit nukes the mods. If the people know where to go, it won’t be as hard on the community itself and lemmy gets more content.

      I think it’s too early to tell how it will affect the IPO - with valuation already cut drastically by Fidelity earlier and very much ongoing contention from the community (just took a look at r/pics and r/interestingasfuck, wow), they aren’t really going to be entering in the position they could have without these recent poor decisions.

        I hope you’re right… I hope it’s true, I hope this hurts them, because this is what they deserve.

        But I also know share holders care about the money, so if they can show their decisions have made them more profitable, fuck the outrage, full steam ahead.

        And eventually the protests will stop somehow.
