"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

Users could vote out mods?
So we can go vote out gallowboob from his million different subs he mods?!
Voting out mods is a TERRIBLE idea. It means a very active minority can effectively control a large subreddit, and politically oriented / minority spaces are going to have constant campaigns trying to take them over.
Can you imagine what it's going to be like moderating TwoX, lgbt, or egg_irl if this change goes through? What a nightmare.
Sounds like it could also be glorious, for the exact same reasons! 🤣
Spez has been un-deleting people's posts, forcibly resubscribing them to large subs that they left, and sending out a warning that says "are you sure you want to post that" anytime you try to post a comment mentioning Kbin or Lemmy. I doubt he would actually give that much choice to users,
