I mean you can do it yourself. I turned federation status off for me to get a feel for kbin, interact here and see whats on here. If I get bored I might turn it back on and see what's happening in other places.

This is good imo. Let the user decide what they want to see.

Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.

Although I guess people on here don't want to hear this, he's right on that one. Price to pay with the normiefication of reddit. No more community. Only consumers.

Juicy in what way? Pedo-admins like Aimee Chanellor or more vote manipulation?

I don't think any of this matters much for reddit unless spez is me-too'd or somehow nuked on a smilar level.

This is delusional on multiple levels. Reddit owns the subs. They will simply replace mods of the biggest subs, smaller subs will falter and some will be replaced by other content if reddit allows them to stay shut down.

It's funny seeing the meltdown of mods as if they're holding it all together when there are hundreds of people in line to replace them - for free. Besides if a subs content goes to shit new ones spring up. Reddit is that big.

It was a nice but meaningless statement that won’t accomplish anything except shutting down some fan favorite subs.
Normies don’t care, normies probably didn’t even know the protest was happening or why it was happening until some of their subs went dark. And last I checked comments on reddit the most upvoted are making fun of mods and their shutdown.

Good riddance. I like the no-downvote style but overzealous mods just create their own pillow fort of the same 5 users regurgitating the same shit over and over.

It's funny to get this upset. Reddit users turned from majority of techies to full blown normies who want to share their mundane daily life with other normies. Reddit is Facebook 2.0 for a few years now. Some niche subs were still cool, but the old reddit edgyness was gone. Everything over there is sanitized to a huge degree and there's a reason most people hate reddit mods.
The majority doesnt give a rats ass about 3rd party apps or how reddit betrayed the mods with no modtools. They want to shitpost, see memes, updoot and dont care about the reddit 'community'. The site has gotten too big for that.

At least here consolidation of subs is impossible meaning mods dont get to build little empires without recourse from the users.
