Reddit may have won by shutting down the protest against its API changes, but not without lasting damage to its relationship with its users.

    Reddit is doing the mod swapping in a creepy way. First the community is banned, then it comes back under new management by corpo drones

      I don’t see how this works in the long run, if they have to put paid corporate drones in charge of moderation. Wasn’t the entire point of Reddit that they don’t have to pay moderators?

      This kind of strategy is lose / lose. If spez want an IPO, well this kind of crap is tanking that IPO.

        The “corpo drones” in this case are people willing to follow the directions from Reddit/Advance Media, but not get paid.
