How is /r/firefox still private?
/r/running had a poll and most people went for indefinitely blackout. A few days later it went public again. I tried to ask what was going on with the plan but the post was immediately removed.
It appears that Reddit drove out the mods and put in new mods. But I am glad to see the majority had gone and not much new posts about running.
Now I wonder how/r/firefox can still be private.
I don't know but I'm proud of them for sticking up for what's right against the robber-barrons trying to enclose the commons of our collective communication platform.
If you actually click chat with us on /r/firefox they wrote
Don't see it until you click so I don't think lot of people knew about fedia.io/m/firefox
I noticed r/CreditCards is still private as well
/r/plex too.
my sub with 150k is still private, i didn't post about it on the website or the modcoord sub so ig they can't tell lol
I’d say they probably didn’t notice because Reddit has been forcing even niche subs to reopen.
