Troubling update from the Reddit admins. They are planning to remove mods from any subs that decide to stay private and hand them over to scabs. This goes back on their previous statements that subs had a right to protest and go private. Mods of one large community have already been contacted by the admins and told that "if you decide to close your community going forward, our Code of Conduct team will reach out with next steps". Which is a fresh take on "nice kneecaps, shame if something happened to them".
Mod Code of Conduct Rule 4 & 2 and Subs Taken Private Indefinitely

Thanks for bringing this up; it's an important conversation. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don’t want...

privately, i've kind of wondered whether Reddit does even care if all of its subreddits are moderated horribly, and if it doesn't whether that renders anything short of taking your ball and going home moot

I'm honestly not even surprised about this anymore
