Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.
I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?
My suspicion is that they’re gearing up down-the-line to convert to an AI moderating system entirely, and they’ll start taking away specific large subreddits from moderators to be managed by AI.
Man fuck the mods and the “super”mods, but tbh, fuck AI more.
