As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit’s plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces “open and accessible to users.”

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

@petrescatraian @bird someone said lately “management the gull way”, suddenly show up, screem around and shit on everything, which seems to be the Elon way of management as well… so reddit get’s in line too?

@utzer Exactly, wow. It’s worrying how fast they want it to bust. In my country, I think it is the most popular social media platform not owned by Meta. And the Subreddits seemed okay. Now this happens.
