“While we are making this change to ensure users’ expectations regarding a community’s access do not suddenly change, protest is allowed on Reddit,” writes Nestler. “We want to hear from you when you think Reddit is making decisions that are not in your communities’ best interests. But if a protest crosses the line into harming redditors and Reddit, we’ll step in.”

Yall have very clearly demonstrated that you do not care about the communities best interest, and you have no interest in hearing what we think. Fuck Spez and good riddance to reddit

They've made it incredibly clear that anything you post on their platform is theirs, and if they do something you don't like you can go fuck yourself.

Fuck Reddit.

Oh absolutely, my account has been overwritten (as if that does anything ) and deleted for over a year now.

It does. I was looking something up and ran face first into a redacted account that once had the answer I needed. I was very conflicted about it.

Calling making a subreddit private "harming redditors and Reddit" is insane

"we won't let moderators harm their communities by not letting them eg. protect their communities from brigades and similar harassment"

Sure you thought that through, reddit admins?
