Originally, the protest was planned to be 48 hours. However, after a shambolic AMA held by Reddit’s CEO, it has become clear to us that Reddit doesn’t intend to act in good faith. When the CEO is willing to lie and spread libellous claims about another third-party developer, and then try double down by vilifying them, again, in an AMA, despite being proven as a liar by the developer through audio recordings, that’s when we knew what we were up against. Therefore, the subreddit will be privatised until such time as a reasonable resolution is proposed.

    You think reddit cares about that?

    The title says /r/iPhone has almost 4 million subscribers, they’ll find replacement mods in the blink of an eye.

    But it will still hurt them, immensely. All these people on lemmy are proof of that, moderation quality on reddit will also go down and the site’s reputation will be permanently tarnished.

    Millionaires are not qualified to run social media websites.

      Right, that’s what I’m saying - I’m curious if we’ll notice a quality drop in content, if the majority of users who stay will notice or care, and how that will affect Reddit’s bottom line and investor opportunities.
