Now, I know what you're thinking: making a hashtag like this is counterproductive and on the surface is about the abolition of moderators here on the site of knowyourmeme.com. I assure you though, that is not the case.

#AbolishKYMMods is not about immediately getting rid of moderators. It's about a gradual process of strategically reallocating resources, funding, and responsibility away from moderators and toward community-based models of safety, support, and prevention (removing NC content, warning, suspending, and banning problematic users, and preventing spam). The people who respond to the plights of the userbase should be the ones well-equipped to handle the situation.

Rule-breaking isn't random. Most of the time, it happens when someone has been unable to meet their basic needs through other means (like porn posters not getting their fix). By having the staff shift their resources away from the mods of this site and towards other services that actually meet the needs of the community, we'll be able to get a place where we won't need to post soft-core porn and tell annoying users to kill themselves.

This is bigger than just mod abuse; it's about how jannies have ruined the lives of countless KYM users by removing NC content and telling other users to behave. Mods don't prevent rule-breaking; they cause it, through the ongoing, violent disruption of our communities.

Riff-raff, I would like you to join me by presenting this hashtag on the Alexa rank relevant site of knowyourmeme.com to thwart this ongoing oppression by the moderators of this site and call for mod reformation. Just ignore the fact that this hashtag is clearly poorly worded and has to take walls of text to explain what the hashtag actually means.
