Things are moving fast again, so this is going to be another quick and dirty post… Reddit is now removing mod teams without any pretense of speaking for mode…

    I feel mildly bad for the parent who has to explain some depraved sexual act because the unmoderated subreddits get inundated with unmarked porn.

      Yeah, they should really give the people that volunteer to moderate the 3rd party tools they need to control that sort of stuff, huh?

        Without a doubt. It’s a cesspool over there right now but at least those communities were marked NSFW and the subs were polled to verify that was the direction they wanted the sub to go (because ‘democracy’ and ‘mods are landed gentry’ and so forth)

        They have archived those subreddits for the time being. I found this:

          If reddit wants to exercise such substantial control over key aspects of the performance of the work, determining how moderating is to be done and the need to meet contractually agreed-upon quality control standards, perhaps they should look into some of those

          …oh god what is the word?

      The subs are marked as NSFW and you have to verify that you are 18+ before entering, and most apps require logging in to see NSFW subs. Not that it would stop a child from clicking, but it is marked.
