Permission now required to take subreddits private

It's just Reddit centralising control to the admins, and cracking down on dissent. It's funny how much it mirrors real life instances of countries sliding into authoritarianism. But obviously this is just a website and doesn't have such severe consequences.
Huffman and the Reddit admins are scummy bastards, and all decent people should leave that platform immediately, the same as Twitter.
- I get why mods care about the unique spaces they've made, like askhistorians or something. But why tf would anyone at this point give free labor to mod funny or any of the other generic monster subs? Make the pigboy police the nazis on his platform to keep advertisers happy
- the defaults seem to be all bots anyway

I am not on Reddit, but, would making a subreddit private lead to difficulty in training the AI and collecting data?
- sorta, by reducing or eliminating new activity on that sub.
- No. They have an api.

Let the plebs keep licking them boots...
Or they come over to fedi and start on something new...

Kinda like that time the king of England took away Massachusetts' legislatures. But I have a feeling the king here will fair better this go around.
- George’s problem was that he was merely a king, and not a god
- Hopefully he won't, Reddit may seem more powerful in this scenario, but they aren't invulnerable to threats or attacks. Hopefully enough angry people decide to do what's necessary when the time comes.
