I've not been keeping up with Reddit, bit what is the general mood from users?
I remember seeing some threads announcing blackouts getting tons of comments saying that it won't help and the blackout should be longer. Not to mention the movement of people wanting to torch their comments.
Is there any truth to them saying that this is only a minority of angry power tripping mods? Like, this seems a very odd move for Reddit to make unless they were super out of touch.
Apparently Reddit has been restoring deleted comments, since they technically own them. Not sure if that's true though; just saw it mentioned somewhere today.

The majority of users don't even know about 3rd party apps and probably are just inconvenienced that their subs are private.
Reddit management also wants to make it seem like it's "a minority of angry power tripping mods" so they can shift the blame and make the protest lose credibility
More and more users seems to get angry towards the mods of closed subreddits from what I saw in the last 2 days. People are selfish.. :/
