In the end, the good mods will leave Reddit one way or another. The admins can put as many bad mods as they want in charge of subs and it's not going to help.
- Mod of /r/homeautomation and /r/homeimprovement here. Yeah we are all done. The subreddits are staying private until we are removed forcefully or reddit changes their stance on the API. Chances are it will be the former. It's really sad but we just cannot realistically moderate without third-party apps. And with the way spez has been acting it's likely more mod tools/bots will be on the chopping block making our "jobs" many times harder. It's hard, it's sucks, I've been on reddit for some 12 years now (under various accounts). We love our communities but just can't operate this way. :(
  
  hi there. i'm sorry this has happened and their greedy actions have impacted your communities. i hope you find a home here on kbin or another alt and can grow your community again. keep up the good fight. <3
  
  As a final middle finger why not a single sticky post linking people to a kbin magazine for each?
  
  Do you have an alternative magazine/community here or on Lemmy? I followed both of those subs closely on Reddit.
  
  I'm a mod on /r/Disneyland and our mod team set something up here on Kbin ( @Disneyland; if you're on Lemmy go to the search bar and search https://kbin.social/m/Disneyland).
  
  We've been promoting it in our "we're private" message but it hasn't really gotten much activity yet.
  
  I've been hoping to see a giant list of communities that have moved their mod teams to other services somewhere, but I've just seen some isolated comments here and there.
  
  That sucks. /r/homeimprovement was starting to get really good too.
  
  Thanks for your effort!
  
  My one interaction with you or one of your colleagues was when somebody went on a big political rant at me after I described an engineer as "him" versus "they" (which was sloppy, but also unrelated to what I was explaining). You deleted their comment, then they deleted their account. I was amused.
  
  I just bought my first house a year ago and shortly after found /r/homeimprovement and loved how helpful it was. Is there any comparable community here yet? Both of those subs are huge misses in my list of communities.
  
  I used to comment occasionally on r/home improvement. Thanks for operating it. Sorry they broke it. Welcome home.
- The good mods are almost universally already gone, what was left until this point was powermods who didn't care about any of the communities they moderated to begin with.
  
  The GallowBoobs of the site.
- Yup
This might just be me, but arbitrary CAPSLOCK on words and Title Case on threads that aren't a link to a news article are clickbait patterns that I'd prefer to not see on kbin.

As for the object of the thread itself... I am thoroughly unsurprised. I have never seen IranianGenius involved in any positive manner with /r/tumblr whereas TayTay was singlehandedly responsible for making /r/tumblr into slightly less of a garbage heap. Removing the one mod that was actually improving things is perfectly in line with Reddit's recent behavior.
- my bad, i just wanted to make sure people actually read it lol, annoying as it is, it is EFFECTIVE haha
pathetic really. not shocking. however it just makes me more determined each time i see/hear a report to stay away from reddit.
That seals it then. Deleting my account tomorrow.
- don't yet. They are restoring deleted posts, rewrite with a script and then sit for a while to see what they do.
  
  Until then we know how to make alts, we can just start submitting random nsfw to all the subs they have forced reopened.
  
  They will have to start making subs approved content only.
  
  I think it's time we bring back surprise goatse! A new surprise for your inbox every day.
  
  plus we can just go on a downvote binge, while upvoting shit that shouldn't be there
- use redact to overwrite comments with random bullshit or a protest msg
  
  Allegedly they're reverting/restoring comments.
  
  That's the plan
At this point,maybe we'll get lucky and it will be a container site for the toxic morons that will be left
Crazy they think they're doing the right thing when it incentivizes users to leave when they pull this shit.
This is terrible. Similar thing happened to me - the only positive spin is that, unlike me, at least TayTay was given the reason.
