That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

When I've checked the Reddit home page in the last few days (using an ad blocker of course, or sometimes an alternative Reddit front-end), it looks like stuff is still being posted.

Hopefully Reddit will feel more pain that persuades it to change course at least a little bit. But I won't believe that the pain is happening until I see it. Unfortunately it seems to me that there are some Reddit users who just want to watch the funny videos and don't care about Reddit's poor behaviour.

it's still too early. These things take time.

True I suppose things could change over time. We'll have to see.
