They would want to test it on one subreddit first and see how it went. The quality will tank, but this is something they could get away with.
Reddit? Are they new? Never heard of it ๐คฃ Probably won't get very big
Gee, what a surprise that everyone called last week. Of course Reddit admins are booting uncooperative mods in favor of those that will un-private their subs, they have zero reason to be loyal to mods protesting against them. And they're actively losing advertising revenue for each sub that's dark.
The real way to protest this is to delete your Reddit account and never look back. Monthly active users is the only statistic that will force them to backtrack on any of the API pricing changes, and loads of people that have moved to Lemmy are actively using both platforms.
Greedy people fuckin' nice things up. Nothing new under the sun.
This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.

Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"

That's insane. I honestly thought it was solely romours, like Spez editing messages on behalf of others (which I still don't believe in)
Edit: I believe it now though.
There's a verge article here talking about it. Unfortunately, the comment admitting it might be gone since it was in r/The_Donald. But yeah, it happened.
And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.
So much for all the "oh, it's not hurting our revenue" dismissals.
I saw a lot of people predicting this before the blackout. I expect a lot of the mods will refuse to moderate.
Mods should just reopen but refuse to moderate. Disable automod as well.
Not going back. Disgusting behaviour.
I wonder if they saw a bunch of traffic trying to access advice animals and decided it was a good testing grounds for removing mods.
