As with many other subreddits, /r/LegalAdviceUK (which had been dark since the start of the blackout) has been sent a thinly-veiled threat by Reddit.
So they’ve reopened in order to start moving the entire community of 810,000 subscribers to somewhere else.
As you can imagine there are a number of legal professionals who moderate that sub, and they really don’t take kindly to being threatened. They sign off their reopening message with “Fuck /u/Spez and long live John Oliver.” but for the real fun you might want to look up a very famous British legal case they reference, Arkell v Pressdram 1971.
I hope you finally decide to adopt a user-centric moderation approach. As of now the LA community on Reddit is pretty toxic and anti user, favoring mod circle jerking. Essentially, it seems that as long as you are a dickhead within the rules and you don’t bother the mods, then you can fuck with other users as much as you want. It also favors nonsense stories, which are clearly a creative writing exercise for use on those automated YouTube channels and clickbait garbage that gets posted elsewhere.
Spez is an asshole, but he’s right about reddit mods. They think they are entitled to control everything.
I kind of want everyone who has anything to do with moderating reddit to fuck off into the sunset.
