What we need for reddit to understand is a longer blackout than just 2 days. I hope many of the main subs will not reopen on Wednesday and that the moderators leave or stop doing their unpaid job. Then let's see what reddit has to say.
Yes but to who? Who is willing to do all this job to keep the platform away from far-right fucktards for free? Only reddit mod are this masochistic :-)
Reddit has employees. There are also plenty of people who think the outrage over this is silly and uncalled for. Sadly, those will be the people they hand things to.
Won't this require a major boost in staff size, thus reducing reducing even more the profits? And believe me if they hand over giants subs to randoms power hungry users reddit will go quickly to the hate and far right end.
There's also the safe harbour thing. If they are paying staff to moderate subs, they lose safe harbour, because the employees will be paid BY reddit to moderate, so they are responsible for what goes on. They won't do it.
