Incoming "this is always gonna happen", "i've predict this" and then the crowd who criticise them for bowing down to Reddit to keep their "unpaid job" is suddenly very silent.

Those are not contradictory positions. In my opinion, we all did know this was going to happen. And also, any mods that rolled over to continue doing an unpaid job just to retain some form of power are bitches.

Being forcibly removed was the best way to go out, I respect it.

Sincerely disagree about that.

If you are willing to do an unpaid job, for a company that has essentially spit in your face, than you have lower standards than me.

And if you're doing it just because you're afraid to let go of whatever pathetic little power you have established there, then your ideals don't align with mine, and I see you as a bitch.

Well, the problem is on you then.

For me, I respect the hell out of the mods that went down swinging, and for the ones that are not willing to burn it all down or just walk away I can definitely empathize with how they might be feeling.

Personally it has been heartbreaking to completely shut out all of the communities I was a small part of, and it must be infinitely worse for the ones that have put in all the effort.

That's the problem with people calling them bitch or loser. The moment i saw anyone calling them "unpaid mod" or "janitor" is the moment i don't argue with them, because they started in such a wrong step it's hard to even correct them.
