r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them
the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they’ll run a query for terms like “fuck spez”. only to find my comment invisible, because they’re already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it’s active right now.
rn they’re trying to get the shit show they created under control and have r/all look normal.
Agreed, but their approach is completely guaranteed to piss people off and make r/all worse, not better
they don’t have many options. what would your approach be?
If what they said they want us honestly what they want, they could give the developers much more time, make the process more in line with what other sites/applications do, and then do real open communication with the community instead of a joke of an AMA with planted questions and accepted answers. If they still ended to with protests (which they likely wouldn’t have), they should have engaged the mods in two way discussions.
Using a big mallet to play whack-a-mole with each new form of protest just makes them look worse and invigorates the protestors.
