Can Reddits switch subs from private to public?
With the new Reddit policies, when a sub protests and goes private, could re-edit just step in, oust a moderator and switch it back to public?

According to the screenshots in the sticky on r/music, they have created a new Admin account under an anonymous name and are messaging mod teams telling them to get back to work. And they removed mod permissions from a mod there (but they’ve been restored now).
That’s why a lot of subs are continuing the protest in other ways. r/pics, r/gifs, r/art have all had polls with the subs and are now currently John Oliver only subs, r/aww is probably about to follow them. r/steam now posts literal steam and steam engines, r/wellthatsucks is posting vacuum cleaners, others like r/interestingasfuck as said they are changing rules to be pretty much anything anyone wants to post as long as the poster thinks it’s interesting as fuck, iOS is similar, they’re removing all rules and anyone can post anything as long as it has something to do with iOS, etc.
I can appreciate the chaos this is devolving into.
Here is the link to the thread, on internet archive because fuck spez
