    It is like an abusive relationship. Just imagine how much time these mods spend on those subs. How much effort they’ve put in. I don’t fault some of them for not being able to walk away or be unable to bear handing the keys over to a bad actor.

      I fully understand that. Plus, there would be no way of organizing what I had mentioned anyway. I just sucks seeing this guy lie, and tear down these communities and quite frankly, escapes for a lot of people.

      I saw a comment on r/eyebleach asking them not to go private again, because they like to browse it when they’re feeling down… all because of greedy ass hats.

        If Reddit is your only escape then one needs actual help.

        Putting all your hapiness or support system into a application that is owned by a handful of stakeholders/investors who are looking at nothing but profit is nothing short of ridiculous.

        They could literally put everything behind a paywall when they want and your support system would be locked and/or unavailable.

        Also with the person above about a “Abusive relationship” I have been in 2 of them and the best course of action is to walk away.

        You otherwise will just get strung along until Reddit (the abuser) makes a decision that will see you cut off and in shambles. It will happen.

        People are also starting to forget that 3rd party applications were a big help towards the community and for moderators. The fact that some vain threats are enough to bulge is well hilarious and expected.
