Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led moderators of thousands of subreddits to go private in protest.

Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.

Maybe Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return.

Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.

(Corrected re extent of strike..)

@dangillmor The #RedDark site unfortunately doesn't tally what subs are going dark indefinitely or for how long, and it also makes the closed-but-public ones look the same as the open-and-public ones like AskReddit.

I don't see it happening but I think enough subs have decided to go dark indefinitely that it might actually hurt them enough to care.
