Reddit is sending strongly-worded messages to moderators of certain subreddits that are marked as NSFW (Not Safe For Work), telling them to remove the tag or face being removed.

    Reddit is gambling - so far correctly - that the mods care too much about the subreddits they’ve spent years building and maintaining to walk away, so they will cave on any protests as soon as the admins get involved.

    The only way this will have any real impact is “good” moderators walk away and leave the running of the key ad-friendly subs to newbie inexperienced moderators who will cause serious damage.

      Reddit mods want to be activists and be a part of this, but they are too afraid of losing the tiny irrelevant piece of power they have to actually do anything.
