The same is true for the mods. Mods don't own subreddits, the community does. If they want to close down communities that aren't theirs, why not just quit Reddit? They are free to stop moderating.
> Mods don't own subreddits, the community does. Reddit's practices until now said the opposite.

This sounds distinctly different from one raising their proverbial hand to gain moderator powers on one of the most popular subreddits on the site. How many non-moderator users don't care about moderating a subreddit with 1 user but do care about moderating a subreddit with 1M users?
If someone wouldn't be willing to start and grow their own subreddit, should they really be entrusted with the keys to a big one?
That was what you said before.

I always mix audience perspective because I usually stand in front of the drum kit when I see bands live. Do most people stand behind them? Am I doing something wrong?
yes, you are doing it wrong. drummer is not drumming from the audience perspective
In all seriousness this topic falls squarely into the square of "strong opinion, weakly held" as far as I'm concerned - nobody except people like us actually cares. That being said I've yet to hear a cogent argument for the contrary position... I make music for the audience, not for musicians.

Yes. And yes. In fact I remembered a post I deleted two weeks ago and it's still gone.
Ok, so it's definitely more complicated then a global flag change. I killed my posts manually and they were gone for at least a day and a half. So, undo deleted posts on any account that axed at least N posts in the last week? Something like that? Well, if the posts come back again, I guess I'll just get in an edit war with them. Disgusting behavior. Thanks for the data point! EDIT: Huh, so now about a dozen have com…
You should read these threads if you want to get an idea of how the normie users think about the whole lockout: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/14b11kh/were_just_here... https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/14al426/rapple_black...

> I have no idea why someone would put the time required into moderating a large sub for no money just for Reddit’s benefit feeling of power and purpose?
Pretty much. Remember, "Most of What You Read on the Internet is Written by Insane People". https://np.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_... >. This also applies to powermods, assuming they're not being paid on the side to push some ideology.

Why bother?
Like Epic, Honest T, or the state of Indiana. Worthy grudges all :D

Inquiring minds (and a future resident) need to know -- which Seattle subreddit is the best? Or at least, what are the flavors?
The Seattle subreddit is pretty calm. That community expresses a lot of stereotypical 'I vote democrat' values. The SeattleWA subreddit is pretty angry. That community expresses a lot of stereotypical 'I vote republican values'. I prefer the Seattle reddit but don't much like either. The Seattle subreddit can have too much holier than thou sniping for points for my taste. Its the kind of place where if you expressed…
Curious in general, has Seattle as a greater entity mostly split into red & blue lines?
Last time I was there, I remember there were more independent (and interesting) anti-WTO/globalization and anarchist contingents.

Weird conclusion. Power users are often groups of people operating under one account. (Motivations vary) not insane people.
As I said,

You might get a lot better mods and more participation with profit motive. It certainly had that effect with YouTube. There would, of course, be some downsides too.
Content moderators do not get paid on Youtube unless you're talking about employees, which do not share in the profit but get paid a salary.
A Reddit Mod should be able to make money. They do a lot of work and growing a subreddit is a lot like growing a YouTube channel. Like a YouTube channel, it creates a lot of value for the site owner.
