Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.
Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.
He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.
come work for free
No thanks
builds an entire self-hosted instance of an open source, federated social media network…

After debating for a few days and watching u/spez spiral even further out of reality. I nuked my account. All comments and posts edited to gibberish and then deleted followed by my account.
Is there an available script somewhere? Would love to do the same.
I downloaded and used redact on the app store. Really easy right from my phone
No way we’re gonna see reddit elections and campaigns this is hilarious
Is the CEO going to be popularly elected too?
He referred to the mods as landed gentry, which is such a gross and lazy way to try to get people on his side. It has a major flaw too: mods are unpaid, the whole idea behind gentry is that they make money from owning their land.
Let me help you out spez, you piece of shit, if you want to criticize the millions of dollars of unpaid work that mods do for their communities try comparing them to an HOA committee, that at least has a kernel of truth.
So you do all that work for nothing just to be able to be voted out? 😂
The correct response is scorched earth, time to delete the protesting subreddits. the CEO has zero respect for those folks who built those community’s, might as well help remove the actual value of reddit.
Spez is a fucking dick.
popular elections in an ecosystem 1/4 bots, in which the admins hold ultimate unilateral authority.
Doesn’t matter what changes he makes I’m never going back to that site that it’s filled with karma farmers, bots and onlyfans spamers
Yea I’m actually glad there’s an exodus of people who care. The ones who don’t, I don’t care about them either.
I was logging into Reddit to delete my posts (Which Chrome removed the Nuke Reddit History extension, thanks I guess) and on the front page was just gross homophobic memes. Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever going back.
Honestly fuck reddit. I was so tired of it, but there was nowhere else to go. At least I can develope a more healthy relationship with social media here
Lol this is gonna be awful
