Is anyone else 100% confident that if any popular subreddits stay dark for over a week that Reddit admins will just hijack it from the moderators and make it public?

They’ve shown they don’t care about the moderators and community enough that this seems like a logical next step.

#redditmigration #reddit One of my friends is a mod of a very large subreddit that went private for the blackout. Last night she received a message saying that she had been stripped of her moderator rights and the subreddit was taken public again. To be very clear, the subreddit members had specifically voted in favor of going private. It seems like reddit will stoop lower and lower to try and break the blackout. I'm seething.

@riley @carnage4life it's not clear if that was done by Reddit or other mods (discussed later in the thread)
@mattcasey @carnage4life good point. Still, I wouldn't put it past Reddit to start doing that anyway.
