That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
Let’s be honest, reddit had already gentrified itself internally into subs that either
A) act like mob rule is cool
or
B) so libertarian it hurts
The B users can’t stand A and the A users can’t stand B, sadly, the A users are the ones who only care about “content” and don’t care about much else.
There’s actually another group— people who just haven’t figured out where else to go. There are subreddits for neurodiverse folks that are really active, and I’m trying to decide whether to post and say, “Hey, folks, here’s where to move this group to!”
