Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, democracy simply doesn't work
I've been watching user polls on various subreddits that have partially reopened. By and large the users want extensions to the strike, either in one week intervals or indefinitely. I'm just keeping mine closed indefinitely.
The more he's forced to act, the greater the chance he's going to Elon himself and fuck the whole platform up. Die reddit die.
If any subreddit would immediately bend to treat hogs it's a sport one. Half the reactionary shit I see on reddit comes from someone whose main subreddits are NFL ones. That's where I think a crackdown on the strike is the necessary next step. If they aren't willing to stand up for the initial demands, they'll now see that they don't have control over the subreddit anyway. Either reddit will mod coup them or the users will. There's no more downside to striking and depending on how much Spez fucks up the crackdown they're going to see really toxic results from it. Hopefully that sets up a second wave of protests which have more universal mod/user-centric goals.
Yeah, even if the userbase is not reactionary, they just want to post about the favourite sport and it's understandable why they want the subreddits to reopen. At the end of the day they just want a casual social media experience while putting in zero work themselves to get such, and don't really understand the cluster fuck that Reddit is.

The casual sports subreddits however, they just want their slop and to reopen
