    Some on Reddit are celebrating this because “mods bad”

    Meanwhile, I’m a Redditor for 10 years and haven’t been banned once, nor have any bad interactions with mods. The first thing I follow rules and second I barely interacted with mods in the first place because I’m not an asshole. I don’t QQ because they removed my low effort meme or hate speech or whatever.

    Simple as.

    It’s also interesting the sentiment on non-Reddit platforms are more pro-user than pro-spez.

        Of course, not every mod team is great. But I mostly hung around small to medium-sized subs for my hobbies and never had an issue with their moderators.

      The hate for mods is quite insane. I can understand that there were some instances of power abuse and people should be critical of those, but I dont think the widespread hate they get. It’s a lot of work that people don’t realize, and people hating them just because polls for closing or taking action dont turn out exactly they wanted (and, if politics is any indication, probably many of them didnt even vote), to a protest in which, as normal users, they dont have to do anything… its all insane to me.

      For most Reddit we are toxic and we just want freedom when they’re the ones who want to get rid of mods to live in anarchy.
