#redditmigration #reddit One of my friends is a mod of a very large subreddit that went private for the blackout. Last night she received a message saying that she had been stripped of her moderator rights and the subreddit was taken public again. To be very clear, the subreddit members had specifically voted in favor of going private. It seems like reddit will stoop lower and lower to try and break the blackout. I'm seething.

I typed a long response but it seems to have disappeared.

It wouldn't be hard for Reddit to find sympathetic mods to jump in. Any mods of big subs that didn't participate in the blackout would likely be thrilled to grow their empires.

If necessary, Reddit could throw some interns or some contract employees at the problem. A huge part of the job moderating the giant subs is removing spam and other obvious rule violations. It doesn't take specialized training to check a report to see if it is accurate and click ban/remove/approve.

The parts of moderating a sub that do take special skill -- the parts related to growing and tending a community through thoughtful application of subreddit specific rules and norms -- will not be missed in the million+ subscriber subreddits in the short-to-mid term. r/funny and r/TikTokCringe and whatever other giant subs don't really have any quality standards to speak of anyway.

I've found that when typing long replies kbin.social can time-out on its cloudflare protection, and clicking the "add comment" button does nothing. It's necessary to refresh the page, or open another kbin.social page in another tab, to get it to refresh the cloudflare protection at which point the add comment button works again. Might be what happened to your long response.

Man this cloudflare thing is really gumming up the works

Cloudflare literally reset as I was upvoting this
