Originally, the protest was planned to be 48 hours. However, after a shambolic AMA held by Reddit's CEO, it has become clear to us that Reddit doesn't intend to act in good faith. When the CEO is willing to lie and spread libellous claims about another third-party developer, and then try double down by vilifying them, again, in an AMA, despite being proven as a liar by the developer through audio recordings, that's when we knew what we were up against. Therefore, the subreddit will be privatised until such time as a reasonable resolution is proposed.

Won’t matter. Based on recent behavior I’d expect any reasonably large sub to be forcibly reopened by the admins after a couple days. If the current mods won’t cooperate then they’ll be replaced by the hordes who want to go on a power-trip.

This scenario has happened before, has it not? Why would anyone expect that Reddit will respond differently this time and walk back their plans?

That doesn't mean though that we ,as a community ,shouldn't try and change them .

We should all act like power-trip addicts and ask Reddit to make us the new mods. And then when they do that we just black out the subs again.
