Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’
Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.
There was some discussion in /r/modcoord on how mods could actually sue Reddit for free labour. I'm not sure how viable it is, but at least it seems to me like there's some ground to stand on.
As long as you protest in a way that is ineffective, zero impact to Reddit, and makes good ol' Spez feel special, you can protest all you want I guess?
At least we now know that Reddit cares 0% for their users. Glad I migrated over.
