In solidarity with the #Reddit protests, I have deleted the official app from my phone and taken the two subs I moderate private.

Fuck spez.

Cody, I've never used Reddit. Can you explain to me what private means?

@johnb48 @hannu_ikonen

Moderators of a Subreddit (basically a forum) have the ability to make that part of the site inaccessible to users who aren’t subscribed. That means only logged-in users with an existing relationship to that subreddit can see it.

However, some subreddits are also going a step further and restricting new posts as well. So that means even users who CAN see the subreddit will still not see anything new posted.

It's quite the protest and some expect Reddit to intervene.
