It's not like they couldn't put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they're about to do something controversial again soon.

I remember wanting to be a forum mod when I was like 15 and thought that it would make me cool on the forum. As a grown adult... no way. I am so busy between work, grad school, and my personal life, I have no time for such silliness. I have a lot of respect for mods that donate their own time to run communities.

    I appreciate anyone working on an actual community but doing the service of not just giving free content but free curation to a corporation seems unreal. Plus, I’m a grown adult. I don’t have the time to do all that much lol
