As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit’s plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces “open and accessible to users.”
Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:
While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

Yeah, I literally just saw that in my feed and was about to edit the post. I don’t know what’s up with the conflicting reporting.
Sorry, everyone.
No, I’m not saying you or MacRumors are wrong. I’m saying Spez is being Spez, lying directly to the public’s faces while doing exactly what he says he’s not doing.
Don’t be sorry! That MacRumors article is based on this admin comment on reddit, it’s reddit contradicting itself.
