Originally, the protest was planned to be 48 hours. However, after a shambolic AMA held by Reddit's CEO, it has become clear to us that Reddit doesn't intend to act in good faith. When the CEO is willing to lie and spread libellous claims about another third-party developer, and then try double down by vilifying them, again, in an AMA, despite being proven as a liar by the developer through audio recordings, that's when we knew what we were up against. Therefore, the subreddit will be privatised until such time as a reasonable resolution is proposed.

That doesn't mean though that we ,as a community ,shouldn't try and change them .

I definitely agree with you and didn't mean to imply that the reddit community should just roll over. I was simply inquiring why so many think it'll be different now when there is history of Reddit not giving a duck, removing mods, and reopening.

Hopefully it will be different this time, but with Spez's focus on IPO and AI, I really don't see much going well for anyone right now. Tomorrow is just a day away, so we'll see where this roller coaster ends up!
