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.

Well, removing the abusive, ban-prone mods of /r/Firefox wouldn't be a bad idea.
LMAO their response to the VPN ads they rolled out to every Firefox user was hilarious. Any poster got the comment from a mod that the user should use the already existing posts about it, the thing is, each and every post was locked by the mods with the same comment, not one post was available to comment on the situation. Eventually some posts went through after a while, but these hours, man, that's when i went Chromium, if i get fucked either way, i might as well use the objectively superior browser.
Oh, and to fix the issue "browser.vpn_promo.enabled" needs to be disabled, sure dude, the next week there is the next sponsor you have to disable before it even appears.

Agreed. That sub has done a lot to convince me that leavin FF would have been a good idea. Good job /s.
