At the risk of agreeing with Reddit:

Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Reddit has a massive powermod problem.

The best way to leave reddit is to get permabanned.

I'm starting to get convinced that Redditors and mods are just gluttons for punishment by that platform.

They're planning on kneecapping old.reddit in this update too, and you see all the typical howling about "if they kill old.reddit I'm leaving fr this time" while at the same time, another big thread one comment lower is about all the ridiculous bans that people have gotten. And this is a mere two years after the API fiasco.

Why do people continue to use a platform that has proven time and time again that the asshole(s) in charge do not give a single fuck about them?

Imagine still using Reddit in 2025.

It's interesting to see the site treat it's unpaid workers more and more like low level employees. I guess capitalists just can't help themselves.

I'm surprised that Reddit has any active users, personally. It's just so... Fake now.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

These mods have ignored the previous waves of people leaving reddit. They were aware of this and have been warned but chose to stay

Funny to hear from the new mods that replaced their predecessors during the protest. Now it's their turn to be replaced

Reddit users, as have Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc., have all demonstrated that you can do whatever the fuck you want to them and they'll just keep coming back for more, no matter what.

Even after decades of abuse, you can open up a brand new platform (Threads) and they'll join by the millions.

Literally another attempt to appear legit by putting in place an easily circumventable rule.

So first they don't even check if mods are using alt accounts to moderate other subs but even if they do force it, it's so easy to click a button on your VPN and you are free to be anyone you want according to "Reddit Corps Super Advanced Security System."

There's a saying in my language that fits this situation perfectly: "Tja."

MRW someone posts about Reddit still being a shit community tolerating abuse on a downward arc from Advance Publications, to Mods (fuck Spez), to users.

"Hey guys, I heard about a poppin' new club! The cover is only $10, but bouncers get to backhand anyone anytime they feel like it, and kick you out anytime that you advocate support for anything even slightly left of center." /s ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

collapsed inline media

It limits mods to 5 subs with over 100,000 monthly visits it seems reasonable to limit the mods reach they all have back deals going on to push agendas and ads it's pretty fucked.

Site is already broken

Fuck Reddit basement dwelling mods and fuck Reddit in general, so glad I'm done with that shit app, I say something a little mean and I get perm banned, fucking losers

the mods that arnt playing ball with reddit that is. the power mods, or the mods that have the admins ear wont be affected.

Break it hahaha! Fuck that place!

One the one hand I can understand the issue that one person wielding mod power in many subs is a problem, especially if that mod is prone to abuse of the mod position.

On the other hand, some subs, especially smaller ones, might go modless.

What I would have done differently is that I would not align this rule on the number of subs alone. The size of a sub should also be a factor, as well as overall number of mods in those groups. A good solution would be not as easy as what they propose.
