Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts
macrumors.com

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.

Reddit is already dead. Old.reddit will be removed soon.

OTOH, old.reddit.com will now always live in my /etc/hosts file, pointing to the 127.0.0.1 where the admin is only half as bad of a poop.

Spez claimed that there are no plans to shut old.reddit down. We’ll see.
