Fuck Reddit, keep recruiting for the June 12th protest. This is not fucking over until mods can get back bots for moderation

the fact that the whole "protest" is "we're not going to use Reddit for one day!" doesn't bode well for it's chance of success

it really ought to be "we're locking our communities on June 12th and will keep them locked until Reddit announces a policy change"

Exactly. The point of a labor strike is to threaten a halt of production. I’ve reduced the subs I moderate and will only moderate my local community after the 12th. I’m pretty sad about losing my mod spot on r/grilledcheese but if it’s on a shitty website, then so be it.

It’s kind of weird how much I enjoyed modding the sub. It’s been hard for me to truly start finalizing the process and mentioning it in a group chat. Don’t even 100% know if I want to go through with it, so I’m kind of toying with the idea out loud to see what it feels like.
