I mean, I totally get it. People keep posting (according the the mod) stuff like “DRONES ARE SPYING ON ME”, of course, who’d want to moderate that shit? I’m glad the user decided to quit, and not have to babysit weirdos spamming conspiracy theories. (Its unpaid anyways, why even do it if the conspiracy-therory-filled community doesn’t appreciate it)
Welp, that’s a subreddit shutdown I haven’t seen for a while. Good luck to whoever is next to deal with weird conspiracy shit.
I guess there are ways to prevent such outcome by pre-selecting subscribers by level of technical knowledge on the subject.
An online test (chat like) is applied also by private torrent trackers to select uploaders also by tech knowledge of the subject before they are accepted. The same system can be extended.
Unfortunately, this is possible only where are many wanna-be subscribers to choose from the pool.
