I wonder how many moderators may adjust their protest time frame as a result of this comment…

    I mean he’s not really wrong some subs are already opening back up, without indefinite closure nothings going to really change

      I agree. I think that the whole movement should move to indefinite closure. If anything, it gives us a reason to pop some popcorn!

    I mean, he’s right. They have their work cut out for them though. They’ll need to be on top of things especially regarding moderation, otherwise they will probably continue to bleed users.

      They never really had real moderation to begin with, just random volunteers that they gave way too much power to, which is going to be a big problem when they go public. They’ll be under a lot more public and government scrutiny.

        This is a good point. Well, they either have a plan or we’re going to witness a top 20 website fail in real time.

    Makes me wonder what reddit’s usage stats will be in late July or early August once things settle into whatever normal they’re going to be. I can’t imagine they can pull good mod tools out of their asses quickly enough to combat the spam that’ll undoubtedly crop up without automod, etc.

    I think the question is whether this move will ultimately annoy the regular casual lurkers enough. Will it make an impact on reddit’s stats and reputation or not?

      They’ll probably just plug Automod into OpenAI’s content moderation API or something if too much spam piles up
