I’ve been seeing a lot of pro-reddit, anti-mod comments, despite tens of thousands of up votes on Reddit blackout posts. Pro-reddit comments also have a ton of gold for some reason.

Is reddit trying to change the narrative towards hating on mods for “ruining everything” before they try and remove them?

    There’s a lot of people who just resent the idea of mods in general because they feel affronted that they can’t just spray their shitposts wherever they feel like and/or object to the idea of the Internet having any kind of quality bar. They’re mainly just reacting to it with a “if the mods are for it, I’m against it” mentality.

    But yeah, also, the people who didn’t leave for the blackout are more likely than not to side with Reddit, or actually like the Reddit app and not care about the fuss.

    Also also, there’s a vast majority of people who consider this whole brouhaha to be nerd shit and don’t care.
