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.
Deleting your account and leaving the site. Reddit clearly doesn’t care about the users, and hasn’t for a very, very long time. Remaining there justifies their actions.
