    I’m not sure they can. What can they do? I doubt they’ll replace moderators with paid Reddit workers. The alternative is to replace them with other power hungry moderators who will bend a knee to the Reddit admins. That might work on some major subreddits but the PR of that might cause more damage.

    I think the admins hoped it would have blown over by now. If it’s still going on by September I bet they’ll need to do something.

      And the problem is that people who are power hungry and only doing it to scratch that itch can’t be trusted to maintain a valuable community. That’s not the type of people they are.

      And people who create the content are moving to other platforms. I’ve deleted all of my reddit links and apps to reduce the likeyhood I’ll stumble across a reddit post. Also starting to take some of my better reddit posts and edit them to remove any valuable content, and post on Lemmy instead.

            No, it’s not that I need more advanced search. It’s that currently reddit is the best source for information on the Internet. I still want people to be able to find the information they need from well meaning people. Even if that means some douchey company crawls all the lemmy posts to feed to its AI.
