    ? It was a 48h protest. So yes they’re still dark on the 13th. They were scheduled to return tomorrow, on the 14th (and some were thinking about staying dark for longer, depending on reddit’s response).

        Yeah, as expected really (unfortunately). Idk what the right response to that is as a moderator, other tham permanently going dark. If there’s 0 negotiation on the cards, I anticipate some subreddits who just signed up for the confined 48h to support 3PAs and who are less concerned about mod bot functioning/3PA power users leaving and have more casual human moderation will just return though. Depends how they feel about the direction of the site’s popularity vs alternatives ig?

        I think the key element here is that mods hold a lot of power and feel like they’re actively being pushed away by reddit policy

          I kean they really are. How do you moderate something like r/videos without basixally all modtools? To many posts to handle that without automods and stuff. I sure wouldn’t want to tripple my workload for a company that showed that they couldn’t care less for its users.
