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.

    I have never been a moderator, and your anecdote is not data. Your personal experience with a few people with toxic attitudes cannot be generalized, and the context of those experiences is vastly different from what’s currently being observed and discussed.

    I get that you’re bitter that some stranger on the internet told you to stop doing something they didn’t like, and had the power to make you, but that doesn’t mean anything to anybody else.

      If you think this is some unique point of view by someone who was spurned by a mod, or something, you know very little about reddit.
