With the new Reddit policies, when a sub protests and goes private, could re-edit just step in, oust a moderator and switch it back to public?
I mean that’s what they are doing right now
I mean I have seen them threaten. But not explicitly thrown out mods and replaced them.
That’s what’s happening. Even went as as to make r/piracy public lol
r/pics went public on their own, so as to not incur reddit admins’ wrath… but are only allowing images of a single person; it’s beautiful and I hope other subs’ mods do the same.
Yea the mods have to enforce the rules of the subreddit. But there’s nothing stopping them from changing the rules. Malicious compliance!
they sure can. but will they out the mod? the trouble would be who is the new mod and what kind of turbulence might happen with said new mod. do they even want it or know how to mod?
maybe they have to start paying people to mod, form all that advertising cash they will bring in.
