Okay so, nuance, this should’ve been allowed way before this. Too many mods don’t reflect the opinions of the communities they moderate. It should be somewhat of an elected position as opposed to the BDFL approach. (Benevolent dictator for life.)
Agreed on the fact that mods are kind of appointed for life, but that’s a problem Reddit could’ve fixed years ago if they were so worried about all the free labor and content they’ve been getting.
This action we’re witnessing now is a money grab pure and simple.
