L4sBotReddit is taking control of large subreddits that are still protesting its API changes
graphiteWhat did they really think was going to happen?
They’re going to kick and ban people who are trying to hijack the company. That should be a given, because it makes sense.

“Here, pilot this plane”
“Okay” does
“STOP HIJACKING MY PLANE”
How is closing subreddits in protest not basically trying to take control of the situation?
Because the users can go and make their own subreddits? That’s how disputes with moderators used to be solved. The users dissatisfied with the moderators would just split off into their own sub. The moderators have no control over that.
The only thing that has changed is that Reddit is actively stepping in now, which they didn’t used to do for these kinds of things.
