For for how much heavy handed their initial reaction was, I’m surprised that Reddit doesn’t take more aggressive actions. Spez has the loudest voice on highest pole, yet so far he only managed to anger everyone.

Fuck Spez.

    I'm not sure they can. What can they do? I doubt they'll replace moderators with paid Reddit workers. The alternative is to replace them with other power hungry moderators who will bend a knee to the Reddit admins. That might work on some major subreddits but the PR of that might cause more damage.

    I think the admins hoped it would have blown over by now. If it's still going on by September I bet they'll need to do something.

    And the problem is that people who are power hungry and only doing it to scratch that itch can't be trusted to maintain a valuable community. That's not the type of people they are.

    And people who create the content are moving to other platforms. I've deleted all of my reddit links and apps to reduce the likeyhood I'll stumble across a reddit post. Also starting to take some of my better reddit posts and edit them to remove any valuable content, and post on Lemmy instead.

    It can be easily concluded from his AMA that he is a fool. Big mouth with small brain.

    And he was a mod for a very disgusting sub back when it was active.

    Although I dislike him as much as anyone, I read that in the early days you could add users as mods without the need for users to accept.

    He was supposedly posting on the sub as well. Plus you can remove yourself as a mod, especially if you're an admin.
