On the other hand, quoth the OP thread

>One of our moderators, u/itsthejoker, has had multiple hour-long calls with various Reddit employees. However, as of the current time, our concerns have gone unheard, and Reddit remains firm.

Doublespeak from reddit's management is not exactly uncommon, and it seems like something is mismatched between what they communicated in that article and what's related in the thread.

The AskHistorian's mods put together a small list of reddit admin promises to moderators that were broken:

Admins have promised minimal disruption; however, over the years they’ve made a number of promises to support moderators that they did not, or could not follow up on, and at times even reneged on:

    In 2015, in response to widespread protests on the sub, the admins promised they would build tools and improve communication with mods.   

    In 2019 the admins promised that chat would always be an opt-in feature. However, a year later an unmoderated chat feature was made a default feature on most subs   

    In 2020, in response to moderators protesting racism on Reddit, admin promised to support mods in combating hate   

    In 2021, again, in response to protests, Reddit’s admin promised a feature to report malicious interference by subreddits promoting Covid denial.

That really is just shameful. I feel dishonest telling white lies to strangers to make a 3 minute interaction easier.
