I wish more of the larger subs were still protesting and didn't roll over so easily. But regardless the site has taken a massive hit to its reputation and one can only hope that recovery won't be possible moving forward and it screws them out of their chance to go public.
Honestly, /r/all is pretty pitiful these days
I logged out of my account at the start of all this, but occasionally I go back and check out reddit as an unlogged lurker. It's astonishing how low-quality the front page is when it's not filtered by subjects you're actually interested in. And good lord is new reddit ever a terrible user experience.
The article mentions r/pics, r/vids, and r/funny
These are large subs.
Don’t worry, doordash_drivers is now a recommended sub for everyone 💀
I think most of the larger ones were forced to reopen by the admins
Admin was kicking mods that didn't approve. Absolutely forced to reopen.
The thing is, Reddit doesn't allow subs to run unmoderated, so IIRC there were instances where they'd kick out the moderators for not re-opening and then have to close the sub again for being unmoderated.
They are already finding scabs to come in and moderate. The quality will be shitty but they don't care.
Give it 3 months and it's all forgotten about. New users won't know the difference.
