a mod said that fears of Reddit actions forced the team’s hand: “We’re re-opening because if we don’t, the mods that Reddit appoint may not care about the subreddit the way we do,”
What in the Stockholm Syndrome is that? Do these people have any dignity?
Hey, I don’t know if you mean it that way but this is a pretty unkind thing to say. I suspect that a lot of these mods are folks that have spent a good bit of time and effort trying to build up communities that they care about.
You may think that the platform that they’ve chosen to do that on is working against them (and I agree), but I don’t think that what they are feeling is contemptible in any way.
Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They’ve invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.
That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.

Yeah this really put me off. It’s so sad. I agree with the other comment that this that it’s some sunk cost fallacy.
That’s how I feel at this point. There are alternatives!
