MODERATORS
This is actually hilarious and I love the creativity and malicious compliance here. It's also a shame the admins response to this whole thing. They're trying to claim that this whole thing is just a small group of moderates power tripping when in reality many of the subs held polls to go dark or continue protests. Before this all went down I saw a ton of people saying they should go dark indefinitely in many many subreddits.
Huffman is full of lies and bullshit and that's the real reason people have so much backlash at this point
Reddit comments seem full of Huffman bootlickers now who are claiming that there was no community support for protests and that the companies actions are fair and justified. I don't know what the facts are but every single poll on every sub I seen on the topic was decisively in favour of action.
I can't understand why some people are so proudly apathetic, or reactionary when there's some sort of dissent.
Yeah I think its the same issue Twitter is having right now. All of the bootlickers are being elevated above the rest of the conversation. Could be 2 fold apathy in terms of lurkers not wanting to participate in the conversation leaving all the air for the mouth breathers, or bots. Or a combination of both.
