MODERATORS

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Exactly. They say the threat is that the sub will be reopened and then counter the threat by... reopening it?

The sub is getting opened either way. The choice they have to make has nothing to do with whether the sub opens or not, it's about the principle of the protest. They're showing quite clearly that they never cared for that aspect. They just want the "i'ma good mod you guys, honest" rep. Cowards.

I think time will tell. Maybe opening it up and maintaining mod status will let them be able to burn it down from the inside. /r/pics has shifted the protest into only allowing pictures of John Oliver. Had all the mods been removed and replaced and the sub opened, then thats effectively the end of the protest.

/r/pics is one of the strongest protest subs on my feed right now, I think it's the right idea. /r/interestingasfuck is even better.
