Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it. (sh.itjust.works)

r/redditalternatives thread: This is why I don't trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won't answer why. https://web.archive.org/web/20240111205116/https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/193iuf1/this_is_why_i_dont_trust_anything_on_reddit_a/

Mods had power because they were united and reddit couldn’t replace all of them at once. Instead, they picked them off one by one.

My guess is that they decided that the little fictitious power that they had over their communities was worth dealing with an obnoxious administration, that outright belittles them as "landed gentry". As such, they never actually planned any sort of migration out of Reddit, and instead rationalised their decision to stay there as "we're thinking on the users".
