Over the past 48 hours, r/gaming has participated in the Reddit-wide blackout in protest of the API pricing changes Reddit is planning to roll out. Over those 48 hours, the behaviour of the Reddit admins has been disappointing. Admin has been stepping in and allegedly removing moderators and forcing closed subreddits open, to keep their revenue coming in, and the Reddit CEO has dismissed the Redditor's concerns, saying it will all blow over.
The mod team here has considered keeping the subreddit private to continue the protest, but we said we would close down for 48 hours and we did, therefore we need to go public to hear your comments and discussion points. We as moderators are internally discussing further actions amongst ourselves, however we will be influenced if there is a strong message coming from the sub.
Every sub should go offline indefinitely. There is no point in allowing discussing on reddits server as that will only generate views for Reddit.
