This is a feature people have been asking for since the beginning and is only being talked about or introduced because it’s politically convenient for the admins.
I really hope this backfires and is only a means to an end of the users replacing scabs until the site grinds to a halt.
“We want to give users a say in the moderation of their subs.”
<users continue the protests>
“Not like that!”
Exactly! And they cynically finally started working on moderation tools AFTER the protest (apparently the built-in mod tools had been garbage for years…)
I mean I have no doubts they are going to use a bunch of"bot" accounts to achieve this. All these internal memos and press releases prove to me is that money is all they care about.
