I like this kind of protest. Using their own rules against them. But, you know admins are going to do something. r/PICS are keeping up the good work where others have folded and I salute them from the fediverse.
I’m fully behind the moderators and read their well crafted response, but the admins are going to nitpick the definition of “sudden” and kick out all the mods. /r/pics was one of their highest ad revenue boards and they can’t let that happen.
They closer they walk the line, the longer they can drag this out before they’re replaced. That means more subscribers move on to other active communities.
the meantime, to ensure that /r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.
One must have no mind at all to take that place seriously at this point. No consistency, no fairness, no honesty, no integrity. One never knows what to expect nor from where to expect it.
Hell, they don't seem to know what they're doing. Their admins fight over who does what to whom and apparently they close subs then threaten themselves demanding that they reopen them. This didn't have to be a big mess but it was forced to be one anyway and there's no sense in trusting it to get any better.
Sorry, I don't know where I saw that but one of the "Reddit admins close down a subreddit" posts around here has someone talking about that happening, and some others mention mod actions being done/undone/partially re-done over time due to internal confusion or struggles or whatever. It seems clear no one knows what Reddit is doing, inside the company or out.
Hell, maybe the bots are doing the adminning too. There's no foolishness like absolute foolishness, yes?
Ah I think I remember that. It was r/mildlyinteresting iirc - an admin demodded the entire mod team for breaking a rule that they didn't actually break (they filled the flag but didn't actually allow any NSFW) and a different admin added them back.
