    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.

    you have been muted and can no longer contact the moderators of /r/modcoord

    this mf is going to give people a voting system to kick out mods, and they’re gonna use it to kick out the mods he just picked who stopped the subs from going private

    that would be really funny, i think

      You seem to be under the impression that the votes will be real and will correspond to the mods he removes

        This is surely the way spez will treat it.

        It’s his site, we’re just squatters as far as he’s concerned.

      They literally threatened to ban r/WorkReform when it planned to elect mods. You can’t make this shit up.

      A part of me believes they will give some bs reason to keep their “scab” mods immune, but I would love if they didn’t and the chaos that would ensue.

      This is basically Stalin saying “the kulaks are too privileged”, not because he wanted to distribute the land, but because he wanted to expropriate it to bruteforce economic development.
