I'm Imp, I've been the head moderator of this subreddit for many years now, almost any changes to the sub since FauxbaitAdmin left have been at my direction; though I have reached out to him a few times to get his thoughts on various things that have come up. When the news about the API came out, I instantly knew that this would dramatically impact my ability to moderate the sub, as I use third-party apps exclusively to moderate the sub.
Overall the "shutdown" was an epic failure, giving a 48 hour timeframe was a poor decision, various subs opening up before the blackout time was over and threats from the CEO stating if certain subs didn't open up again the moderation staff would be replaced. I personally don't care if I'm a moderator. This is a volunteer job that I do not get paid for. I am attacked via DM's and modmail fairly regularly with threats of violence and doxing.
I had to read up on supreme court law, familiarize myself with US laws, and listen to numerous supreme court opinions and rulings. Over the years, I have invested hundreds possibly thousands of hours over to ensure the subreddit stays on the correct side of the intent of the law and that what the sub contains is morally acceptable in my eyes.
Here's where I guess I get real with everyone, I simply can't and won't moderate this sub using the reddit android app as it is currently, it's utter shit and does not have the tools I need to do my unpaid job. Some of you may be alts that got banned for rules violations and would love to see me step down, others may have never seen my name before and are only reading this because the sub opened back up to the public.
I originally sent out a modmail to the other two mods and have recently sent a chat to try to discuss their thoughts on what the path forward looks like but at present I'm unsure how long the sub will continue to be available. This isn't an ego trip with me thinking, "Nobody can run this sub except me," but rather, only a handful of people even know how the sub operates. Here is as brief a rundown as I can put together:
I would say only 10% of posts submitted to fauxbait go live because users don't follow rules 2 and 3:
If you would like the sub to stay public, my best suggestion is to contribute content and provide age verification with your submission. This allows the mods to quickly approve posts. If you're a regular to the sub and want to help with the approval process, hit us up using modmail to get details on becoming a moderator. Reply to this post and let me know if you have any thoughts on the matter. Please keep things civil. While I'm willing to listen to users' suggestions, I'm not going to get into a pissing contest as I'm not sure yet what the path forward leads to.
