Re: 7245/7806 subreddits that pledged to go private are currently dark
#2What's the next play for Reddit leadership? I feel like it's just a "wait and hope it all blows over?". If they don't change, are all of these subreddits going to stay dark? If the subreddits do stay dark, how long will it take before someone creates a replacement that gains enough traction?
I'm participating in the Reddit blackout (as a 15y user), and I love to see the collective action, but not sure if it's really going to bring about long term change. Egos are clearly involved here, so I think Reddit's future hinges on spez's personal ability for change and growth. I'm not optimistic.

why wouldn't reddit remove all the mods and open the subs?

Well they could, but who is going to moderate then?

#8They are hoping people start "forgetting" like they have about twitter. I'm of the impression that reedit's core users are too stubborn and too involved to let this slide. At best this trigger a vote of reddit's board and they oust the idiot that is responsible, and we can hope for a better stance from the next one. Realistically it will probably blow over and people that actually care will move to or create something similar. VC/corporate greed knows no bounds when it comes to the original integrity of the business

#9Additionally, a lot of those that are still public have restricted submissions (mentioned on the page too).

Only some of the subreddits are going to stay dark unfortunately. The mods are worried that if they stay private too soon, scab redditors will make their own subreddits and take their niche's users.
