Meta is a capitalist social media company and they seem to be doing okay. Facebook might be uncool with the kids these days but it’s still massive. And Instagram and WhatsApp are still very popular.

I think the difference between Meta and Reddit is that I bet Meta would issue some sort of apology and carefully crafted PR if they found themselves in Reddit’s current situation. But Reddit doesn’t even seem to care about angering its users, which just feeds the anger more.

as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men

Would it be easy to find new moderators though? Who would want to moderate for Reddit at this stage? I think most of the people who would show any interest in moderating are currently too angry with Reddit to want to do it.
