  > Were you seriously inconvenienced by the blackout in some way? You phrased that in the past tense, but I assure you that a number of major subreddits are still private at this moment. With each passing day, my sympathy for the moderators diminishes and I become more receptive to the notion that Reddit should reopen the subreddit, remove all the existing mods, and hold elections for new ones. With a subreddit that has 1M+ users I guarantee there are at least a few dedicated souls that will jump at the opportunity. Only current moderators think they are a rare, irreplaceable asset.

    This is the desired result. Personally I'd love to see Reddit forcefully remove mods from top subs and have to find replacements. 1) it's a big pain, and probably takes away from their timeline of delivering worsening UX and monitization features 2) the new mods will probably be even bigger power trippers than the old ones.

  yes, my favorite sub is still private, and I can't access all valuable information users posted there.
