As you can see, the admins have been directly interfering with the direction of some subreddits, and using the excuse that the community members themselves need to have a say. Previously, they did have a say anyway, but it was more like an unofficial poll or post asking for opinions and comments, not a unilaterally binding obligation by force. This is such a massive, significant change to Reddit policy. Now, that’s an assumption assuming that there is at all an organized and clear policy of anything on Reddit, which so far I doubt, but let’s entertain it for the sake of argument. Is my subreddit not truly mine anymore like it used to be? Doing what I want (within ethical bounds) was the price I paid in return for doing mod work for free. Sounds like they want to create a contractor or employee style relationship but without actually paying anything.
