It’s going to be a lot harder to pull off massive protests.

It’s not like they couldn’t put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they’re about to do something controversial again soon.

    In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.

    Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don’t see that happening though.
