That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

Reddit will REALLY be good when those apathetic users are all that's left to produce content and moderate subs! /s

Let's be honest, reddit had already gentrified itself internally into subs that either

A) act like mob rule is cool

B) so libertarian it hurts

The B users can't stand A and the A users can't stand B, sadly, the A users are the ones who only care about "content" and don't care about much else.
