I strongly believe they are just inept. They didn’t understand what value third party apps actually brought. None of the decision makers actually mod anywhere so they probably aren’t aware that reddits official tools are lacking.

That kind of work environment is unsurprising given he idolizes Musks Twitter. From what I have heard, in general Musks companies are known to be horrible to work for.

Yeah I think making it so low effort content ruins the sub is good enough without allowing NSFW content. I think generally this is the best way for mods to protest though. Let subs become practically useless when community rules no longer are enforced

Got to love the users who entirely miss the point. Complaining that this is ruining their experience, well go complain to Reddit for failing to listen to community feedback and refusing to negotiate.

Users of subs are choosing these paths which is way more user driven than what Reddit admins are doing.

I hope more subs do stuff like this, the Steam sub is trying to be about literal steam but the mods don’t seem to be officially endorsing it yet (users are running with it though)

If Reddit is serious about communities moderating themselves they shouldn’t have a problem with subs becoming useless if that’s what the communities decide they want. I feel like it’s going to provide Reddit another way to show that they are liars though.

Sorting by top day helps. I have actually been sorting by new as well. Not as busy here as it is on Reddit, plus generally high quality so new stuff is pretty good.

They are sending mods messages that they need to open up their subs or they will replace them with mods who will open them.

The person who commented on there about changing the subreddit to discuss literal steam has the right idea.
