u/Awkwardtheturtle somehow posting an update on her reddit ban ... on reddit itself if i'm reading the pic correctly. Not sure how that's possible, maybe someone saw an edited post from her?

Furthermore it's revealed that this powermod claims to have had a connection to reddit admins.

A lot of American mods do; there were a few years there with top admin and community teams did a 'roadshow' type thing where they'd schedule meetups and connect with mods in person. Having met admin in person isn't really that wild an indication of favour, so much as having showed up to an event somewhere.

Sounds reasonable. So mostly it's just a sign of reddit not giving a darn to those that they used to reach out to. Another sign of how downhill things have gone.

It's a very classic Reddit Inc thing - they know that they have a poor relationship with their mods, they know that they need to address that ... so they do something fun and quirky and showy - but then fail to make any sort of concrete follow-up on or take actions supporting the connections they've made.

They've got this big profitability issue right? Wouldn't it be better - more affordable - to take those concrete follow-up actions instead of repeatingly spending money on showy, quirky, fun things over and over again?

Yup. Sure would have been!

I think that they were allocated to separate teams, mind; part of what seems to have gone quietly wrong over there is that there's too many teams that are too silo'd and aren't connecting correctly. Community team does community stuff, but they have no idea what AEO or development are doing, etc.

At least we've heard from Community a few times that they have a really hard time getting answers out of AEO when something goes wrong, and separately heard that development doesn't always give much heads-up to other teams on incoming new features - both of which seem like the worst cases for a failure in communications, which generally indicates the less critical stuff is even worse.
