I used to be omniaural too, so I get where you're coming from, but have you seen the whistleblower videos from the airpod factory? Sick.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, even though I was critical! Sure, I have no disagreement with anything you said in your reply. I'm also involved in hobbies where bad information can hurt people (including canning and foraging for mushrooms), and I'm obviously against knowledgeable people being removed from positions of authority in these communities. This post bolds the text about being worried that new mods may miss something that the old mods wouldn't, which could lead to someone getting hurt. I saw that, and that a couple of early comments latched onto it as a focus. I had broccoli in a wok that I needed to get back to and just fired off a quick comment as a bit of infernal advocacy that the replacement of mod powers probably isn't as dire as the quote makes it sound.

I mean, Reddit deserves to be punished, and there are many reasons to be upset (I personally shredded all my contributions and deleted my account in protest), but I kinda feel like the canning safety issue might be overblown. Nothing is stopping them from staying and calling out unsafe recipes with comments/in association with the new moderators. Sure, they have to go through the new mods to fully remove things, and their removal in the first place raises significant ethical questions, but calling this a safety issue because "someone else could get it wrong" seems like they're reaching.
