    They did kick out a lot of mods during the protests and moderation has gone to utter shit since the api change

      Yeah. I read an article (also on Ars Technica funnily enough) about how some moderators aren’t equipped to deal with things. I believe they singled out r/canning because of the potential for food poisoning, but r/ender3 had a sympathetic “mod” who only joined that subreddit as a moderator just to fuck with Reddit corporate when they were replacing the mods.

      Reddit, predictably, did not respond, so whoever wrote that article did their job right.

      Yeah new moderation didn’t stand a chance because the good mod tools were all 3rd party.
