While we're at it, how does the community feel about trying to get this OFF the default sub list? I feel like quality really went down the hole when that happened.

[–]zonination[S,M] 519ポイント520ポイント  (9子コメント)

Before the sub was default, we had a couple hundred thousand subscribers. Currently, we're at 5 million. Undefaulting won't automatically unsubscribe all our new users.

I.e., the "damage" is already done, what pulling the plug won't undo. I think a better strategy is to adapt the sub to our larger audience, and the mod team would always be happy to take suggestions.

Doesn't it unsubscribe the people who have never changed their subscriptions, though?

[–]Drunken_Economist[A] 3ポイント4ポイント  (7子コメント)

Correct, that is how it works.

Users who have never subscribed or unsubscribed from any subreddits are essentially "soft subscribers". They don't count toward the subscriber count, and if the defaults are switched around, their subscriptions are switched with it.

Only when a user takes a subscribe action (adding or removing one subscription) are their "soft subscriptions" converted into actual subscriptions.

Since the mod doesn't seem to know that I have to ask does Reddit provide any mod training?

[–]Drunken_Economist 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

The mod isn't incorrect at all — this subreddit has 5.2MM subscriptions. If it were undefaulted, it would still have 5.2MM subscribtions. The number in the top-right is the number of "hard" subscriptions

Did they change the way hard/soft subscriptions are displayed recently? Because I remember /r/atheism's subscription numbers plummeting after it was undefaulted.

[–]EmmaBourbon 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

reddit manually removed dead accounts. That's why their numbers went down. Also, its a crap sub.

[–]SirSoliloquy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Huh, I looked back into archived front pages and it looks like I misremembered. You're right, numbers didn't fall until after the dead accounts were removed.

[–]Tkent91 -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That doesn't make sense to me. The Mod said 'the damage is already done'. I find it hard to believe just because it was made a default that that many people actively hit subscribe. And the way he worded his comment was such that he didn't realize undefaulting it would remove those numbers.

However, regardless of how you intrepret his comment my question still stands, does Reddit provide any mod training to its mods?

I don't suppose you have access to knowing how many soft subscribers you have?
