Apparently last year spez (or reddit admins) sent out a message to mods saying they are expected to work X number of hours a week.
A volunteer or contractor chooses their own hours. Specifying they must work a certain number of hours per week or be removed sure makes them look like employees under the law.
But I haven’t seen that message so I don’t know all the details.
That being said I don’t know why so many mods don’t want to give up their currently unpaid position when reddit is hellbent on making it more difficult for them. Let reddit figure it out and take your community elsewhere.
