Reddit Migration

The Starbucks sub has been at the forefront of protests. They even made the news a few months ago for being a major player in starting a Starbucks union! This was a very bad place for admins to start their takeover if that's what's going on.

Because reddit wants the protest to stop and they will ONLY support mods who will comply/want to stop it. As I said in my post

"Funny thing is, Reddit will likely boot the 3 of them, and make a_knife top mod, which is DIRECTLY AGAINST their claims to remove any mods making unilateral decisions, because of course, it only applies if that unilateral decision is to go private. Spread the word"

Except that's not how that works. Reddit mods are tiered. If the top mod is idle - happens all the time - nobody can remove them, and they can come back at any point and do whatever with impunity.

Or, they should have just purged the subreddits outright at the very start of the blackout before deleting the subreddit 1 week later. That would require them stepping down from their power, though, so they'd never do anything like that.

That was then, this is now. We can't change the past, we can't change the 48 hour business, all we can do is continue to fight back. This isn't helpful.

I thought about this, I was 100% surprised that mods didn't plan for it as soon as Spez said he would do it.

One person that was an inactive mod took over and removed all the mods that were taking care of the subreddit previously. So pretty much yes.

We could easily ruin that subreddit by posting garbage there LOL

Outrageous

FOR REAL? if this is true i will edit my post and add it.
edit: its true
