Reddit decides if a community is NSFW — not the moderators.

Reddit is sending strongly-worded messages to moderators of certain subreddits that are marked as NSFW (Not Safe For Work), telling them to remove the tag or face being removed.

    Doesn’t fuck spez know the meaning of the word volunteer? Mods Don’t depend on reddit, is the other way around.

      Mods are like game devs, the powers that be know they can treat them like absolute shit because there is an endless supply of replacements who are willing to be treated like shit for the opportunity to do the work.

        And nowadays most AAA games are shit. And the best games are indie games made be good developers that got tired of being treated like shit.

      That is untrue. Reddit would do just fine without their mods. Mods dont moderate subreddits out of the goodness of their heart to volunteer their time. They do it because they like having power over their communities. Reddit is threatening to take away that power from them, which is why they all crumbled so fast. It is unbelievably easy to find new people to take power over an internet community.
