Like it or not, years of insight, experience and expertise live in Reddit threads. But accessing some of them just got harder.

Can't the powers that be at reddit just flip a switch somewhere and remove the mods' ability to make subreddits private? Presumably if they could they would have done so by now (but if not, ๐Ÿคซ!!!)

I presume they could but then those subs would be unmoderated which would be a huge legal risk.

If I remember correctly they did replace the mod teams for a few bigger subreddits and made these public again.
