Absolutely wild. I used to moderate a local-area subreddit with around 39K members and decided to just cut my losses. Deleted my account and never looked back! I was happy to see that the remaining mods stuck with our 2-day blackout plan.
Honestly though, it was such a miserable job. Constant bad-faith arguments from folks trying to post heinous comments about asylum seekers, LGBTQ+ folks, etc. It really makes you lose faith in your fellow man. I’m very happy to have given it up. I guess this is why Facebook spends millions of dollars on content moderation – it’s very taxing.

Meanwhile reddit is shitting all over the people who were donating these millions of dollars worth of content moderation to them.
Anybody who invests in the reddit IPO must be an absolute idiot.
Seriously. There are tech companies out there which are 100% scams and they are better run than reddit. They do not understand how their own product works. DO NOT BUY!!!
