No apologies as Reddit halfheartedly tries to repair ties with moderators (arstechnica.com)

Reddit is reaching out to moderators after tensions rose over recent policy changes and API pricing. A Reddit admin acknowledged the strained relationship and outlined new weekly feedback sessions and other outreach efforts to repair ties. However, moderators remain skeptical of Reddit's efforts given mixed results from past initiatives. Many mods feel Reddit has been unwilling to make meaningful changes to address their concerns like more accessible API pricing or exemption for accessibility apps. After a tumultuous few months, moderators have very low expectations that Reddit's latest efforts will result in real changes.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I rather easily went through and deleted all of my posts and comments. It was quite freeing, really.

I also went through each sub that I moderated (solo, since I didn't want to cause conflict with any co-mods or others) and both privated them and set them to NSFW. I did set the co-run ones to NSFW though and they haven't been changed back yet, so I guess the others are okay with that.

And I have yet to receive any messages from admins telling me to change them back. I go and check my account every week or so. Nothing's changed.
