“Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”

    Videlock is reconsidering being a Reddit mod these days but said Reddit’s outreach is an appreciated step in the right direction.

    In what fucking world??? How is it a step in the right direction? This “outreach” is no more than damage control. It’s a company realizing they fucked up, and wanting to mitigate PR damage without actually fixing their shitty practices.

      A sucker’s born every minute.

      “I’m sorry I hit you baby. I won’t do it again. And this is a chance for us to reflect on why you deserved it.”

      Okay!

      If I had a penny for every time a corporate figurehead says they’ll be more transparent and will engage with the users more but then they just don’t or do the opposite, I could buy reddit from Huffman

      Nah, they just want the mod teams back until they can recruit a team of sycophants to replace them.

      This is no different than your old job calling you a week after you quit offering you more money to come back.
