    None of the forcibly removed mods I spoke with have worked with or plan to work with replacement mods to pass on knowledge gained through years of experience.

    None of them should. Let reddit deal with the consequences of their actions, trying to fix it for them would be telling them it’s ok to treat free labor as shit (as they did).

      Letting fascists into a community just turns that community into a community of fascists. This isn’t new information. But maybe you’re fine with that.

      Even your username sounds irony poisoned in a techbro way. cringe

    They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn’t sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.

    Either way, we made our cans the “right” way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.

    While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.

          Exactly. There was a time when using Reddit didn’t feel like you were giving Reddit the company anything for free. There was a transaction happening. They provided a platform to interact with like-minded people, and in return you used that platform, thereby drawing more traffic to their site.

    Companies seem to over estimate how many people are willing to do certain kinds of work.

    Did Spaz think a thousand mods were just waiting in the wings that would not have similar concerns as the first group?
