That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.

Digg still exists as of today. The lack of moderators and content creators will probably lead to a bot / meme / political agenda factory.

To be fair, a lot of Reddit was starting to turn into that anyway. Not the more niche subs, but many of the bigger ones had been going in that direction for a while now.

Yes, r/all felt like bots responding to bots lately. Multiple times people "steal someone's comment". Niche subreddits are definitely not that though
