I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, democracy simply doesn’t work
How the fuck would it even work?
What happens when a modteam simply removes all meta-discussion about the subreddit? How the fuck do the users express or discuss with one another about being unhappy with the mods?
They can’t. All of that can be completely suppressed. You’d have to create a secondary “bullshit subreddit politics” space where moderators aren’t allowed to moderate in order for users to talk about moderation with one another.
And that space itself will be filled with debate about hatespeech, transphobia, all kinds of bullshit simply because it can’t be moderated by the mods.
All the “woke” mods on the site will get voted out by bands of roaming fascists doing takeovers of lgbt subreddits.
It’s a stupid fucking policy and there is absolutely no fucking way that they’re stupid enough to entertain it as any kind of possibility. This is a bluff, 100% bluff. The more I think about it the more ridiculous it gets.
You’re not wrong, I just think spez is an absolute moron. Would you have believed me if I told you elon musk was going to run twitter into the ground like he did?
Musk is a much bigger moron though, one who doesn’t understand how twitter works.
Spez on the other hand has been there since the start of reddit. He understands what it is at the very foundation and he definitely knows all the theory of reddit shit that has forged the site over the years.
He’s an asshole but he’s an asshole that genuinely understands his site.
Why did they do the ama though? How could anyone familiar with the site think that was a good idea
