"Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "
There are dozens of us!! Lol
Fucking delusional on this writer’s part. It was far more than dozens and a lot of those people were power users with an outsized influence on the community.
I personally moderated two 150-250k user subs. Stepped down from both and wiped all my posts and comments and have not contributed a single thing since.
I modded a couple of million user subs, and ended up replacing all of my posts with the same text before never logging in again. Wonder if I've been removed from any of them yet.
Side note, my life has improved so much after not doing free work for reddit. The things I'd see everyday.. looking back I'd never do it again.
I learned the "Don't be a mod for free" lesson back in the IRC days. It's not worth the mental strain, even if it's for a community you love.
