So sad. Obviously reddit asked them to keep in check and reddit itself doesn't have technology to help WSB moderate itself.

Just one more example why decentralization is actually the future of all content/social platforms. Centralization of control just reinforces existing control/choke points trying to keep entrenched in power in the name of guidelines.

I saw this coming from a mile away because the way these threads were used was entirely new. Essentially, threads were used more like live chats where people reacted to the stock price. Everytime a thread hit the 100k comment limit, they had to create a new one. Due to the activity, the threads were also constantly at the top of the reddit frontpage.

Truly. In this case it remains to be seen if they can get back online, apparently it's happened before.

A good time to shill for the open source, distributed reddit alternative: https://getaether.net/

It even includes mining for new posts which is a simple yet surprisingly effective way to limit people's willingness to sock puppet.
