@AllonzeeLV at this point mods who are staying on Reddit are just prisoners waiting to get castrated

@AllonzeeLV

If you're a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders

This comparison is so stupid; is spez gonna send me an ID or something? Will I need to hand Reddit my birth certificate or anything in order to keep using it and sign a contract with them or something? Where is that contract gonna be registered?

Anyone would be able to look for any place where there is a vote, then join the community, vote whatever they want and then casually walk away. Or you could follow all subreddits or a bunch of them that you want to influence (say any pro-ukrainian ones). Then you'd cast a vote to whoever you'd like and walk away.

It's so ridiculous!

@AllonzeeLV I deleted my account and left my sub to a mod I trusted. He opened it backup but the feedback he was getting from the Redditors told him to shut it back down lol
