Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators From Subreddits Continuing Apollo-Related Blackouts - MacRumors
macrumors.com
In a comment shared by r/Apple moderator @aaronp613, Reddit cited its Moderator Code of Conduct and said that it has a duty to keep communities "relied upon by thousands or even millions of users" operational. Mods who do not agree to reopen subreddits that have gone private will be removed.
If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

Can't say I'm surprised.
They did say that they would do it, after all.
No this was literally just a part of the contingency plan.
The whole point of their API change is literally to push out anyone even mildly tech-savvy, and keep all the people who blindly just scroll through posts and consume the ads just like other content.
