MODERATORS
 

That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

The sad thing is that the masses that are still on Reddit at this point dgaf and will likely stay on Reddit forever. There's a real problem of Apathy in today's culture when people are just jonesing for their fix of daily content/memes, or at the very least nothing that disrupts the status quo. They don't give a fuck about "ideals" or what corporations do or farm from them so long as their instant gratification and daily intake of said content remains unchanged.

Reddit will REALLY be good when those apathetic users are all that's left to produce content and moderate subs! /s

Let's be honest, reddit had already gentrified itself internally into subs that either

A) act like mob rule is cool

or

B) so libertarian it hurts

The B users can't stand A and the A users can't stand B, sadly, the A users are the ones who only care about "content" and don't care about much else.

There’s actually another group— people who just haven’t figured out where else to go. There are subreddits for neurodiverse folks, as an example, that are really active, and I’m trying to decide whether to post and say, “Hey, folks, here’s where to move this group to!”
