View submission: Accessibility Updates to Mod Tools: Part 3
I hope the Admins understand they will never receive a warm welcome for any announcement they have to make, basically ever again from what I can see. It's over for them. They've managed to throw away the last tiny bit of goodwill they had left with moderators. It's now officially an **Us** Vs. **Them** situation, manufactured entirely by them. If you're thinking of working for Reddit, think twice, it doesn't matter who you are, your Admin status makes you intensely disliked.

Up until now, I may not have loved the admin team but at least I respected them.
One must, however, demonstrate they’re capable of giving respect in order to get it.
Mods do 90% of the “work” on Reddit, get shit on by 75% of the users and 100% of the paid staff, receive 0% of the profits that wouldn’t even be possible without our “work,” and just for good measure get laughed off, insulted, called “landed gentry,” completely disrespected, and thrown out by their lord and savior king Spez.
Admins allow bots to do 90% of their “work,” are unreachable when those bots mess up (by, say, sitewide suspending a mod for quoting a user in a modmail to the user explaining why they got banned), take weeks (if not months) to even respond to messages sent to them (but have their bots send shouty modmails to us when we take longer than **two days** to respond to something in our subs), shut down the apps that worked then take **actual months** to roll out nonfunctional “features” in their own shitty, broken (but *so much more profitable!*) apps, and suspend mods who disagree with their actions and protest over them.
Yeah. All respect is gone here. They can all go fuck themselves, I’m only still here for the users and mods in my subs who decided to stay. As soon as there’s a viable option for relocation that catches on enough to get our communities there, I’m out ✌🏻

Grinning every time a new person learns the meaning of the term "enshitification" and immediately goes "oh so there is a word for that? cool!"
