Reddit is not allowing r/finland to poll their users about whether they should shut down: https://old.reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/14f0rgs/discussion...

Didn't Steve Huffman suggest fairly recently that he was in favor of more democracy, including allowing users to vote their moderators out? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blacko...

So some kinds of user votes are acceptable but others are not?

always was. otherwise he wouldn't have (checks notes) started influence operations across Reddit with Ghislaine at the wheel after Aaron died. guy is deeply compromised. think it's got something to do with his history of moderation of r/jailbait

FYI, it used to be that you could be added as a moderator to a subreddit without your consent, so people would add highly visible accounts like spez to objectionable subreddits
