  • Apple subreddit reopens after moderation team threatened with removal

    IOW, they caved. All it took was one predictable threat of removal. Well duh, of course they were going to remove you. Stand true to your principles and let them do that. 
    This is exactly what they should have done. We need Reddit to remove moderators forcibly from key subreddits, resulting in nobody wanting the role and management quickly discovering just how difficult it is to source competent free labour to keep things running well.  

    With that said, they’re now offering to keep API access available for free for notable FOSS Reddit clients. It seems they’re only targeting third party apps which are both proprietary and trying to make money from their work.  If Reddit keep their word and extend that to FOSS moderation tools too, then the protest will have been successful regardless.
