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.

Actions do have consequences. Reddit decided to make certain changes to the way API calls get made, and consequently users protested. Theyre well within their rights to make any changes to their site they want. Were well withing our rights to delete our content and leave. And if they restore that content after we the users have deleted it, thats illegal (in Europe).

Them initially pretending like everything was fine but now asking people to come back, then when they get no response within the hour having a fucking tantrum and demoding this person sounds very mature, hmmmyes.
