Just logged into reddit, from Canada, it's not working correctly. I suspect so many subs going dark have unveiled a bug that has broken some algorithms. Here's hoping they are a pain to fix and require a significant reengineering effort. Anyone confirm the same behavior?
"Server maintenance" while they replace all the mods with scabs.
If it is deliberate, I'm pretty sure that'd be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they'd end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.
I'd assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I'm here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit ... wonky on posting today with all us refugees.
It's like... 28,000 mods. I don't know how they're gonna replace them. Of course they won't have to replace all of them, but there's still quite a sizeable lot.
Every mod is just AwkwardTurtle on a throwaway account.
lol. Yeah no y'all aren't wrong by any stretch, and I doubt they'd really get rid of a lot of those power mods but the smaller subs? Sure. Also, give one of the regular people power-modding power and they could, theoretically, have normal function resuming inside a week. It'd still be a huge mess, though.
Either way, I'm sure there's an admin script available to mass-remove or ban, though that'd be a really drastic move on their part. The bluff call's far more likely. Be interesting to see what they do regarding the large subs and their mods, though.
