#redditmigration #reddit One of my friends is a mod of a very large subreddit that went private for the blackout. Last night she received a message saying that she had been stripped of her moderator rights and the subreddit was taken public again. To be very clear, the subreddit members had specifically voted in favor of going private. It seems like reddit will stoop lower and lower to try and break the blackout. I'm seething.

    On the one hand, I’m glad the Reddit mods are eating dirt, but on the other, man, fuck Reddit

    So yeah, how’s it feel to get banned when you know you’re in the right and being unable to fight it, punks

    I’m surprised how quickly they started doing this. Couldn’t weather the protest for even two days.

      I’m not surprised by the speed since the protests were so public. But in the case of the Tumblr sub it sounds like a “power mod” revealed themselves as an actual admin, and that does surprise me if it’s true.

      We always knew admins used alts, and suspected that’s who some/most power mods were, but this would be the first time I’ve seen them take the mask off so blatantly.
