A lot of those mods held polls in their communities and among their peers before going dark. I don't think the large subreddits are getting unilaterally shut down.
- seydor 3y agoit's always like that -- reddit users always like drama so i did not expect they would vote otherwise. i think the whole idea is bad though Reddit has much bigger problems to solve. First and foremost, that users have no recourse from moderation abuses, and this is killing the community more than the API changes.
- Timon3 3y agoIf the people voted for it, how are the mods holding them hostage? Both the mods and the people want it.
- seydor 3y agovoted for 2 days, right?
- Timon3 3y agoInitially yes, but multiple communities made new polls for the continued blackout.
- seydor 3y agoHow? They were offline None of the subs i know did
- Timon3 3y agoThey went public and then private.

- mtslzr 3y agoYou hand-waved the response that users voted for this, and then simply repeated the (seemingly wrong) stance that mods are forcing this in anyone.
- qwytw 3y ago> that users have no recourse from moderation abuses Not participating in subreddits with crappy moderators seems like pretty good recourse?
