    Thanks!

    I think instead of risking the sub being moderated by scabs, the mods should have just reopened the sub and quiet quit - no megathreads or stickies, anyone can post anything as long as it doesn’t break reddit rules, no bots, all mod reports get approved automatically.

      And if they did that, the admins would just boot the mods and bring in scabs anyways. There is no way that any continuing protests won’t end like that at this point. Admins have made it very clear…get with the program, or fuck off.

        Why would the admins do that? The mods would have reopened the sub and followed the rules.

        Unless the admins lay down a new set of rules… in which case the mods can lazily comply with it again, and on and on

          Because they already did it to r /interestingasfuck and many others. Some even in spite of user protests.

            that’s because they all drastically changed the rules. I’m talking about quiet quitting. That’s harder to spot.

          “Lack of moderation/failure to moderate”. The admins have banned plenty of subs for it in the past, replacing the mods is actually a measured approach for them.

      Should have left a link to a community on lemmy or kbin or discord or steam or clubpenguin forum or a listing for a pink toy car on amazon and also quiet quit.

      People within the community would slowly realize the mods were gone and its most active users would realize it had a new home. The inactive, uncaring or inattentive ones, well, they didn’t pass the test.
