The protests get even more creative. PoliticalHumor mods have set it so that if you subscribe to the community you can now do moderator actions through comments.
No more “Landed Gentry” here, just a total shitshow of deleted comments and lack of cohesive moderation.
They can’t ban all of us
Looks like the landed gentry gave the proletariate the memes of production.
I’ll see myself out…
Please, stay, my liege :-D
Spez later revealed an exciting new idea for a system where users will be able to vote moderators out of their positions and install new ones. This type of pure democracy on a site like reddit is bound to be wildly successful and incorruptible. But, there’s only one problem: At the pace it takes reddit to develop new mod tools and systems, it’ll be years before such a system is ready. That clearly will not do in a society built on instant gratification.
That is why the r/PoliticalHumor mod team would like to announce that starting today we are bringing pure democracy to the subreddit: All users are now mods, and as such, are part of the “Landed Gentry”. Welcome to the club.
That’s brilliant!! 1 million and 500 thousands users, hilarious.
That is incredible. It’s hilarious, it’s satirical, it’s a sharp criticism and it absolutely hammers the stupidity of every Reddit statement home.
What a great team.
Sweet!
Not exactly what happened they made a bot that will take a limited set of commands but you not actually a mod. It’s more of a joke (obviously). All you can really do is lock and unlock and remove comments for people under a certain score
I think spez forgot that Redditors will burn it down just for the show.
ON THIS DAY, WE ARE ALL 4CHAN!
every worker, a member of the board
Mr. Evrart is helping me find my gun
By the way, we now have Political Humor here on kbin:

If you find it of interest, consider subscribing.
Can I subscribe to this when I’m Part of feddit? I’m on mobile and don’t See the sidebar where it usually gives me what i have to search.
https://feddit.de/c/PoliticalHumor@kbin.social should be the relative-path-link from your instance. You can also search for it in your communities tab with “!PoliticalHumor@kbin.social” as your search string (minus quotation marks).
It’s a relatively new community and my instance can’t see it yet because it hasn’t been federated out to other instances yet. So it might take a few more hours, or a day or two, before it shows up in your search or the link doesn’t return a 404 community not found error.
EDIT: It finally appeared on my instance.
Oh my god. How can they even do that. I stand in awe, this is flawless. Please god, let the news get hold of this one.
It looks like they’ve done it through automod actions, so if you type a comment like “!lock” automod will lock the thread for you. Other things like downvoting a comment to below -8 results in the user in question receiving a temporary ban. Apparently they are hard at work on new commands to let all users run roughshod over the sub.
Your wish is our command: Here are your new moderator permissions.
- To lock the comments on any post, simply comment !lock as a top-level comment on any post.
- To unlock the comments on any post, vote the AutoModerator stickied comment on each post high enough, and comments will be unlocked.
- To lock any comment on any post, reply to it with “!lock”.
- To temporarily ban any user, simply get their comment or post to a -8 score.
- To remove any submission, reply to a submission with a top level comment of !remove. Must have sufficient subreddit-level karma.
