Reddit's CEO is now comparing the people who've done the most to make the site popular to "landed gentry" -- demonstrating that he's both over-the-top arrogant and ignorant.

He's also threatening to change the rules of the site to make it easier to remove moderators. Yes, that'll definitely encourage more people to build communities there.

If anyone should be removed, it's him.

@dangillmor I’m (still technically) part of a mod team that’s decided to make our subreddit permanently Dark until things improve or revert. I’d like to keep it in this holding pattern, but if they’re going to attempt hostile takeovers we might have to go scorched earth. And that helps nobody.

@MJBotte1 @dangillmor is it possible to migrate your subreddit to lemmy or kbin? Maybe I think too simply, but isn’t this what we all should be doing? Moving our communities one by one?
