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.
I haven’t seen it mentioned, so I’m guessing it’s not the case (and I’ve never been a mod on Reddit so I have no idea how things work behind the scenes) - but is there anything preventing mods from just…nuking the entire subreddit? Deleting it? I mean I know Reddit could probably “un-delete” it but still, all mods of those private communities should just go full scorched earth and just nuke the subreddit rather than hand it over/have it taken away (again if that’s an option. If not, just ignore).
