Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.

    All the news about reddit over the last few days have made me realise that I no longer personally care.

    I mean it's still funny to read about the way subs are protesting, but I haven't been on the site since the protests, and now I don't get angry about the changes anymore. It's a sign that I've finally kicked reddit out of my life after more than a decade on the platform.

    I was leaving the site for a while, but the muscle memory to Sync was waay too strong.

    Now I'm running Redact every day since Reddit keeps restoring old comments (at least some subs do).

    I'll build my new little corner here, and I'll stick to it.

    Nice, still trying to wrap my head around the separate instances. If they were truly federated, wouldn't they all tie into each other or am I missing something?

    So are they going to hire people to mod all those subs?
