Holy shit, they are finally doing something about karmawhores! Not in a particular effective way, they can just alt themselves to kingdom come, but they are doing it.

It was sometimes very telling where those mods were participating in, and given that they've also recently implemented features to make that more difficult (anonymized moderator replies, hidden mod lists, hidden user histories) but haven't really addressed the alt issue, it may have to do more with those embarrassments. Bye bye to the last vestiges of self-incrimination Reddit provided for.

putting limits on the number of subs a user can moderate is like putting limits on the number of articles a wikipedia editor can edit.

typically moderation is an opt in job and you want people who actually want to do it to keep things going smoothly. all this will do is make the pool even smaller which will lead to subs becoming more toxic.

Allowing opt-in moderation attracts mods with an agenda. That's a big problem with Reddit.

All power to the owners. But go on suckers. Keep pretending you have power as mods.

Being a bass aggregator myself, its less likely they'll bite the hand that feeds them first,The exposure for my friend's accounts have been phenomenal though.

If /r/wallstreetbets would just move to Lemmy, I'd have no reason to ever look at reddit at all. Wallstreetbets has been pretty solid on giving me tips to make money recently. The rest of the site is trash.
