Moderators are a vital part of what makes Reddit tick. Despite not being paid for their time and efforts, they help ensure that conversations on the platform have a measure of civility and that illegal content gets taken down.
Reddit’s answer to a recent subreddit protest against application programming interface fees appears to be to push out the moderators committed to that protest.
Several critics — including Apollo developer Christian Selig — have pointed out that the fees were exorbitant compared to similar platforms. Many of the platform’s most popular subreddits have vowed to stay dark until Reddit revises its API fees. Huffman’s suggestion that the developers want the APIs to be free is disingenuous, as Selig has repeatedly said the fees are simply unreasonably high.
that Huffman is considering new platform rules allowing Reddit users to vote out moderators if they are unhappy with their management of a subreddit., an official Reddit admin recently said that Rule 2 and Rule 4 of the platform’s Code of Conduct allowed for removing moderators for being inactive, vandalizing communities, or “squatting” subreddits.
“We have policies and processes in place that address inactive moderation , mods vandalizing communities , and subreddit squatters .”
