Bad moderators and Lolcows are like my jewish mother and cookies. They are quite a force when seperate, Reddit mods are not only famously, Lolcowy, the supermods are infamously-lazy, my jewish motherable, and very easy to piss off. Well, the hand that fed Reddit's moderators (with imaginary food, and corporate inside deals, nonetheless) just bitch-slapped them. And now the hotpockets are being thrown across the meeting room.
It started with a blackout for two days. On the surface this looked like a push by the users to support third party apps that were basically being banned bickers of the high costs. Beneath that surface however, the janitoral staff of Reddit was seething with rage that their easy-access lazy automod tools were being threatened, so they organized in the most-reddit-way possible.
Anyone with even just a spare few braincells knew that you can't just do a protest for a mere two days and expect admins to bend over for you. Well that time came and went, the talking heads acted like the blackout was a failure. But now that the Supermods have been betrayed, they're going on a full-on-revolt.
I don't know about you guys, but I think Reddit might actually implode this time.
