Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    I guess some people react to it and other don’t. I’m not trying to be rude either - I just mean that the language that you call “formal” comes off as extreamly disconnected from the community to some of us.

    Reddit should be grateful for moderators working for free to moderate their site, and the way they talk to these moderators is absolutely fascinating. I can only assume it comes from living your life around corporate bullshit to the degree that it becomes normal to you.

    Normal human decency, friendliness, sense of humor, compassion… Reddit leadership doesn’t have these qualities. Corporate bullshit is a term for when you fake these emotions to reach a strategic goal, such as trying to make people work in the same direction even when it’s not in their interest to do so.
