Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise right now to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led the moderators of 93% of all subreddits to go private in protest.
Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.
I'm guessing that 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.
My thoughts exactly, sounds a bit too high to be honest.
But more importantly, the mods of most subs already announced the end of the protest before it even started. What kind of threat is that?
“If you do this, I will throw a 48 hour tantrum before going back to normal.”
