Got to love the users who entirely miss the point. Complaining that this is ruining their experience, well go complain to Reddit for failing to listen to community feedback and refusing to negotiate.

Users of subs are choosing these paths which is way more user driven than what Reddit admins are doing.

I hope more subs do stuff like this, the Steam sub is trying to be about literal steam but the mods don’t seem to be officially endorsing it yet (users are running with it though)

If Reddit is serious about communities moderating themselves they shouldn’t have a problem with subs becoming useless if that’s what the communities decide they want. I feel like it’s going to provide Reddit another way to show that they are liars though.

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.

They are sending mods messages that they need to open up their subs or they will replace them with mods who will open them.

I’m only going on there to support stuff like this, at least until Apollo is turned off. Then I’ll mostly be here.

The person who commented on there about changing the subreddit to discuss literal steam has the right idea.

Yeah i have seen a good amount of “I don’t want to be inconvenienced for third party apps” and that Reddit is already giving assurances that mod tools and accessibility apps are exempted from the changes.

I’m not a mod but I thought a lot of mods use tools built into the third party apps that just aren’t present on the official app. So Reddit saying mod tools are unaffected seems like a promise they don’t have the ability to keep.

I think a lot of mods are attached to the communities they moderate and are afraid of losing them as people get frustrated and leave.

It’s definitely a weird response, since it’s directed at employees I would have expected him to try to be reassuring without downplaying or even really mentioning the blackout.

Should have been easy to just say something bland like “we believe in the changes we are making and how they will make our company better. “
