The mods are being removed from many subreddits, including r/piracy. Reddit threw in the towel and decided to stop pretending they were community-moderated.

pretending they were community-moderated.

Unless you remember electing your mods, "community moderated" simply means "we don't pay the jannies, they literally do it for free lol!" It was never about the "community" having a voice.

don't forget the supermod awkwardturtle is a proud and loud pedophile (no, not am reactionairy "he/she is not like me" way, he or she actually, for real, prey on confused teens and has "retreats" for them) saying this anything about this will get you an instant permaban on reddit

Do you have a source for this?

Didn't spez at some point moderate a very questionable sub too? Wasn't it jailbait or something?

I hope the picture of spez having sexy time with female Garfield is getting printed out and pictures hung up on all the office walls.

Based on how he speaks to the media and about his customerbase, I wouldn't be shocked if he treats his employees just as badly

@Dalek_Thal

@anonymous_FTP @Abridgedlife @SpezCanLigmaBalls @BusinessPigeon

Well that's just speculation on our part.

For all we could know. The ones that don't want to be treated badly has left long ago and what remains of reddit employees are those who share the CEOs views and support it.

@LiemPong_Pagong

Actually? Maybe because he made decisions that are causing public outrage.
