Given how that’s been going, and how that subreddit apparently got caught in the crossfire, it kind of makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes at Reddit. With a different person revoking it and apologising, it kind of seems like the admins aren’t really communicating to each other, and that some are putting out fires that the others are lighting.
EDIT: No Apology, just an explanation.
In the comments on one of the articles on The Verge about this, someone claiming to be a mod over there said they were reinstated. I know you can’t really prove that, but maybe that’s where this notion comes from?
I think there was a comment later, in another thread, where all the reinstated mods later had their permissions changed so that literally the only thing they could do was modmail, nothing else. Don’t completely remember if it was the same group of mods, but I think it was.
