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.
Or worse, there will be paid mods that are hired by corporations and special interest groups to push their own advertisements and agendas. I’m not sure how useful it could be to a presidential campaign to take over some of these protesting subreddits, but if they’re desperate for mods it wouldn’t be hard.
