Two major Reddit communities call off the strike – but now only allow pictures of comedian John Oliver
The company’s CEO has publicly attacked the volunteer mods who have organized the strikes in an interview with NBC, branding them undemocratic. “If you're a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents,” he said. “So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders.”
“And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic." Reddit is also exploring the possibility of replacing moderators who refuse to return their subreddits to normal operation. In a note sent to moderators of some high-profile subreddits that went on strike, the company wrote: “If there are mods here who are willing to work towards reopening this community, we are willing to work with you to process a Top Mod Removal request or reorder the mod team to achieve this goal if mods higher up the list are hindering reopening.
“Volunteer moderators are the lifeblood of Reddit's communities. Our dedication shapes the platform's success. It is crucial for Reddit to listen to our concerns and work with us in order to maintain the vibrant communities that make Reddit what it is. Until our voices are heard and our demands met, we will continue our blackouts – without fear of any threat.
It is the smaller, if still sizeable, communities where strike action still remains commonplace. For example, Redark shows that of the 41 subreddits with between 5 and 10 million subscribers, ten remain ‘private’, with a further three imposing restrictions.
