A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

    I foresee another great article…

    Reddit CEO forces a number of subreddits to open, starting with ‘copyright infringement’ subreddit /r/Piracy and ‘anti-capitalist’ subreddit r/antiwork

    Just keep digging spez. Maybe you’ll make it to China and you can start WeQQit. Not to be confused with Wreqqit, which is what you’re doing here.

    It’s amazing that the threat to unmod people actually worked, and a lot of subreddits are reopening, saying that “they have no other option”. It shows that mods care more about their place in their subreddit than the community they supposedly did their protest for.

    Btw Piracy moved to:

    @piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Run by the same mod. They have their megathread, faqs, and everything up already. Everything that they need for their community to start again in this new place… I would imagine the users of a sub all about piracy are absolutely fine about leaving Reddit for something new.

    ETA: Comment edited so you can see the whole magazine name.
