They are slowly taking away the platforms of free speech. First they came for the self hosted websites; then they changed the search engine functions; then they came for twitter; now they are at Reddit. Make no mistake this is not just about an IPO. This is about controlling how the public communicates. Discourse is discouraged.
The trouble is they didn’t like what actual free speech had to say which was we just want to use apps that work, so now he’s having a temper tantrum.

Dear Spez,
I’ve learned that Reddit wants to profit from my content. I’ve therefore decided to monetize my content going forward. I have very reasonable rates of $50 USD per post. $75 USD for long posts.
I’m willing to discuss this with Reddit but these rates are nonnegotiable.
“subreddits belong to the community of users who come to the for support” good way to justify kicking a mod with a passion for such a community and forcing people to post only the things you want.
Because if you force people to have fun they’ll be happy, of course.
Mhm I just got info that a certain Poo the bear wants to talk to you about strongarming communities. But don’t worry, his methods definitely work.
the really funny part is that the users were polled and overwhelmingly wanted the protest, so forcibly opening it is the thing that’s actually going against the wishes of the community
The people who don’t like it will leave but a not insignificant proportion will stay despite things changing.
Can only hope the quality people bail and the dredges lower the quality enough that it slowly dies out.
Translation: we rely on you to make money give me more money, money now .
Maybe the admins were always like this and are just now starting to show their true colors. You know, in the face of a cash grab.
Owners of reddit seem like tin pot dictators.
Time for Lemmy to advertise like crazy on Reddit.
I deleted all my comments except 2 explaining how to delete all your data on their way out to hopefully inspire some others

“Redditos rely on these spaces…”
And mods rely on the modding tools? Btw what would they say if you made the sub public but in a way that no one can post anything
I got one too
Love your reply
Reddit’s staff or the fucking mafia?
They are gonna make you an offer you cannot refuse
