r/interestingasfuck is still unmoderated and it doesn’t look like that’s gonna change any time soon. I doubt they have anyone to take over that many subs
Imagine that, it takes an army to keep the peace. And they had an unpaid one working around the clock for them. Reddit didn’t shoot themselves in the foot, they blew the whole leg off
That’s what those “mods are nazis” types don’t understand. Sure some mods are power tripping assholes, but most of them aren’t and are passionate about their communities.
Many who volunteer for the job also don’t stay long because of the work it entails, in addition to being called a nazi when some dumbfuck clearly breaks the rules and then harasses you for it.
My mod friends from my country’s subreddit stepped down because they didn’t want the abuse anymore after banning many racist and homophobic assholes. They all targeted their (the mod’s) username and made threads stalking all their activity and mass downvoting everything they did.
There’s a group of people that somehow feels hurt on a personal level because their account got banned and as a result now oppose any protest from moderators on Reddit.
It’s the same people that think they can moderate themselves, but yes, they’ll find it it’s hard work with people disagreeing with them whatever they do as a moderator.
They archived interestingasfuck, so there are no new submissions. But based on the later posts, it looked like they might have left it an unmoderated free for all for a bit.
It’s pretty clear that the dont believe anything they say. The breaking point for me was when spez started talking about voting on moderators, a change that is absolutely impossible to practically achieve if you think about it for even a minute. They are just saying and doing whatever they want because they plan on selling the scorched earth anyway.

They don’t. Even if people step in, new mods aren’t as motivated as the mods that were dismissed.

This is indeed an important aspect as well.

Wait, doesn’t reddit remove subs that are considered unmoderated?

Yes, but Reddit has been using the term to mean whatever they want to remove moderators from protesting subs.
