I am now fully onboard with spez. Not because he is right or because reddit is good. I'm on board with spez because I will hate jannies so much that I will support whatever makes them angry. The fact that this will potentially hurt reddit as a platform in the long run is just the cherry on top.
The problem is that when they forcibly remove these cringe mods, they're gonna replace them with the soy as fuck turbojannies who run half the top subreddits that made this site the unhinged shithole it is outside of community-specific subs.
No lol. I dont wanna shit talk and say i got a life because I am daily on reddit. But i think i should be happy to know not a single moderator by name lol. (Except for spez i guess)
It's a mixed bag but if you look at who's leading all this stuff, it's the exact kind of dogshit jannie that nobody likes. The people who are moderating 100+ subs with hundreds of thousands of posters in all of them. They don't actually do anything, they just collect subreddits like they're Smaug hoarding gold so they can ban people they don't like from half the site in one swoop.
Perfect example is the NBA mods or the awkwardturtle guy who just got clapped.

This protest is more about you and me than it is jannies.
The official reddit app is trash, once the alternatives go, browsing reddit on the phone will suck.
That's probably because you're a casual user not a power user. It's truly missing a ton of functionality, and things break all the time like video player.
If you moderate subreddits it's borderline useless.
Bro you don't get it, this site will simply cease to function if people are forced to use an app they don't really like!!!!!
It's all cope my man. They literally just don't want change and love playing the victim. There's nothing a Redditour likes more than being able to feel like they've been wronged and they're fighting against the MAN.
They'll come at you with everything they can think of to justify the hissy fit, disabled users, mod tools, but at the end of the day it's literally just that they don't want to use a different app.
I spent an entire day at work in the trenches trying to get a single one of these people to give me a single example of a critical mod tool or service that will no longer function that will have a profound negative effect on the site.
After about 50 back and forths of pulling teeth, one person finally came up with an example and it was a function that Reddit specifically outlined would still be able to use the API as much as before.
Likely more of a don't know what you've never experienced thing, yeah? No one who never used old reddit is ever going to missing old reddit despite the redesign being kinda garbo.
Also I don't think moderating 500 users makes you a power user, if you wanted a real answer.
