These mods have ignored the previous waves of people leaving reddit. They were aware of this and have been warned but chose to stay

MODERATORS
I have very little sympathy for reddit mods. Too many of them are petty little tyrants with no checks on them. I hope the door hits them on the ass.
Most of the good ones have left since they locked off the API and make most of the tools stopped working anyways. They were already kicked off when they did the strike back then so the remaining mods are pretty much the power mods that taken over after said strike.

Limiting the number of large subs a user can moderate is a good way to a) limit their power b) reduce misinformation campaigns.
And yet they still shadowban. Fuck Reddit.
Hey, they chose to offer free labor for a company that has proven time and time again to not give a crap about the mods or the users. I get why they are complaining but I at least hope that they aren’t surprised or expect that their complaints will do anything.

I have negative respect for mods at this point.
I've seen too much unchecked mod abuse to ever take their decisions seriously again.

I'm surprised that Reddit has any active users, personally. It's just so... Fake now.
And so many more right wingers. Even 10 years ago those people would have been downvoted to oblivion now they make top comments.
Reddit for me was an escape from my red state and actually talk about policies I'd like to see along with just other general interest. And if I want to shit on someone for their take or just to blow off Steam. That was the place to do it. It hasn't been that for about 2 years now. I've been off reddit completely for the last 6 months.
I won't even click a Google link to it in search results.
I really would like lemmy to become more popular because it's user base is so small

There's a saying in my language that fits this situation perfectly: "Tja."

It's interesting to see the site treat it's unpaid workers more and more like low level employees. I guess capitalists just can't help themselves.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Reddit users, as have Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc., have all demonstrated that you can do whatever the fuck you want to them and they'll just keep coming back for more, no matter what.
Even after decades of abuse, you can open up a brand new platform (Threads) and they'll join by the millions.
