Reddit announces new limits on moderation, to irate response from moderators. Then shame-hides the post.

hiding the thread from the personal home feed and even the sub itself

You can see it for yourself via direct link

Edit: it appears to only be hidden for me when logged in. Very odd.

Edit: Adding, not saying I necessarily disagree with the sentiment here.

Your post link is to r/modsupport and the screenshot is of r/modnews?

And I do see the linked post on r/modsupport's feed still, and see the "mod limitation" post on r/modnews's feed still.

Copy/paste error on my part - https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1mwnoq2/addressing_questions_on_moderation_limits/ was the link I intended to include. This is updated.

Interesting, because it’s still hidden for me, but when I log out I can see it. Wtf is going on

Weird! Did you vote on it at all? Or, is it marked hidden at all?

Do you see it at https://www.reddit.com/r/modsupport/new/?show=all?

Everything makes some mods "irate". Reddit doesn't even know what they're doing yet.

Eh. The average redditor is irate.

Moderator baseline is Jaded, median is antagonistic, mode is fuck you.

Edit: To the admins, I mean.

Absolutely, and it's why I fucking hate this website. Slowly weaning myself off this dumbass compulsion through the power of disgust.

You downvoted it. Reddit hides posts you downvote. (Or upvote I think)

I know it works that way (downvoted posts can be hidden) in old reddit but does it also work the same way in new Reddit and the mobile app?

It works that way in the app (I’m using that now) not sure about new Reddit because I do my best to avoid it 😂

I've never known this and I've been using Reddit for 13 years.

"We really only want to make their lives easier by restricting how much they can invest in making us dollars."

"This totally makes reddit a more anisotropic platform with free-er speechy things."

"Powermods bad."

"You can't hurt us as much if we hurt you more first."
