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.

Reddit gonna reddit. It’s better here. They are a company making money off us, we ARE us. I’m on lemmy train baby take me down the line!
What’s the over/under on how long it’ll take Reddit to institute their own version of the blue checkmark system?
My predictions: reddit gold subscribers get pushed to the top of comments sections, followed by ads showing up inline in comments, and then the introduction of features like a marketplace.
They want to be TikTok and facebook so badly that they are going to forget what makes them unique
Threatens? They already have!
I JUST read a post that spez said he’s not going to do that…
