Reddit is going to remove mods of private communities unless they reopen — ‘This is a courtesy notice to let you know that you will lose moderator status in the community by end of week.’ (www.theverge.com)

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.

52.99 out of the 53 million daily active Reddit users have no idea anything is happening. And if they eventually do figure it out, they wouldn’t care. I’m kinda over these “Reddit bad” posts.

People follow content and discussion, not user count. A site with a thousand active users could easily topple a site with a million doom scrolling 'users' .

Yeah, it's better to focus on growing the federated communities so by the time Reddit fucks up again (they will) the fediverse will be the clear path of migration for another wave of people that want to get out of Reddit.
