Of all the chaotic protest choices so far, this is definitely the funniest! Very curious to see how this pans out.

I agree....this is her clever.

this might be the nuclear option needed

would be funny if every community did this, releasing reddit to the entropy of the internet

it also solves the argument of "well if your mods aren't modding then we can remove you"

I really want to know how they did it, and if I can apply it to subs that I moderate.

From what I had read, it seems like it’s done by letting people command AutoMod (or a different bot account that has Mod access to the sub) in the comments, similar to how people would use the RepostSleuth or RemindMe bots. So unfortunately, this probably dies when the API gets murdered at the end of the month.

I just read through the sticky post in the subreddit, and the list of actions that you can accomplish are all handled by automoderator directly, no need for API.

Scroll down to "Actions" - https://www.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation
