MODERATORS
Reddit is probably going to be happy about the protest in this sub. Can't imagine that investors like the sub about getting stuff for free...
I mean, the sub was closed and Reddit forced it to reopen, so there is an argument they do endorse piracy
I still can't believe Reddit actually decided to do that. I thought they were going to ban the sub or keep it closed.
I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should've just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.
I imagine that they are doing this to more than just the piracy sub and it's widespread across reddit communities
They are for sure, there's posts about it everywhere, but they're reaching out individually to each sub (like, individually messaging the moderation teams, even), so it's not like there wasn't at least some conscious effort on their part with regards to r/piracy in particular.
