>Just because you were the first person to think of making a subreddit about some topic doesn't mean you should perpetually have the power to unilaterally make decisions about the community, its users, and its content.

Then why did reddit make modding hierarchies based on who has been the moderator the longest? They've had a half dozen issues where this happened and provided no changes to help alleviate this supposed antipattern.

>If you've ever been on the wrong side of a power-trip by a moderator, you know what I mean.

yea. And I think we both know what happened. You appeal to admins and admins do nothing. I'm sure some people can retrieve admin messages that say something to the tune of "it's the mod's community they can do what they want. Make your own".

So yea, I find it hypocritical and manupulative when suddenly the admins care about "community and belonging". You didn't care until it bit you in the ass. Again. This isn't the first time and at this point it's their fault they didn't change the rules in time for this.

>I will also look forward to a clampdown on nsfw subreddits. Sexuality is kryptonite to the stock market. And good riddance.

I look to it forward to Tumblr 2.0 as well. No faster way to kill a site that relied on porn to drive traffic than to suddenly take it away. They want to ride that easy train until it becomes difficult, and then drop it and expect everything to go on as planned. I don't think it matters how you feel about porn here, this is just a nasty tactic.

>but at least he's putting his face and name next to his words and taking ownership of them.

He's going public and being paid some X million dollars. Mods aren't.
