So we can expect the mods of bigger subreddits to also lose their permissions? How will the admins manage to moderate 8k subs?

Does that mean they're unmoderated now? r/worldpolotics here we come!

This was inevitable, unfortunately.

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.

It's a 2 day blackout for god's sake, and it's nearly at the end of it! Was it really necessary to do that?
