They threatened it last time a blackout of this size happened, but this is the first time they actually went through with it.
Frankly reddit was fucked from the start, all mods hate the admins because when I was a mod, they just gave us new rules to follow and enforce without any discussion and wrote them in the most obscure way. And if you don't enforce those rules, you can get your account banned (as a mod) and your subreddit banned too.
Then you also get a lot of hate mail when you ban someone or even if you don't do anything because there's always some salty lib who has a problem with the way you do things.
Mods also didn't have a way to contact admins for information on new rules, ask questions or receive information early. We discovered the rules the same time as the users did, by checking r/reddit or whatever (good luck if you unsubscribed from it). And we were expected to start enforcing them.
When mods finally started speaking up about it is when they realised they ALL had bad experiences with the admins, like admins being shocked that mods actually received hate mail lol
Yeah someone on here said they were going to do this, just commandeer the subs and reopen them and replace the mods.
Many people are saying this. :thicc-trump:
Hexbear? Right again!

The tankies were right. (yet again)
