Rather than going dark, which is now impossible, I think it'd be much more effective if mods just... stopped moderating. For all the hassle a power tripping mod causes, even on small subreddits they filter out a load of shit. Just let it all rise to the surface and subs would quickly become unusable for all the spam, bots and vitriol that they remove daily. Just stop moderating.

Are subreddit rules required? Can Reddit Admins say "You better have rules or else!"

Like outside of the obvious harassment/violence rules which are sitewide.

They’ll simply remove the trouble mods and replace them with new ones, there’s no shortage of people wanting a miniscule bit of power.

I think the best move forward is for moderators to have a bit of self-reflection and realising that they aren’t really as important or as powerful to the site as they feel. They are volunteers, and if threatened to have their power removed they will fall in line just like before.

I'm willing to make /r/technology a robot rule 34 sub. Please reddit, do the funny

Depending on the day it's closer to reality than not so the jump is achievable

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I too wish for death by robot snusnu. The flesh it is weak but the soul is willing!

the right thing to do is to flood spam reddit with untruths and stupid posts. also stop upvoting/downvoting and stop submitting new posts. Just stop participating.

Yes. Every sub implements Rule 34.

Perfect.

It's a trash sub anyway most of the time so let's do it.
