A few highlights:

• As usual, u/ModCodeofConduct messages outright distort the moderators' position, as if it was unwillingness to moderate.
• r/firefox opened up again. It's now about literal fire foxes aka red pandas. Mods worry that the sub might [ipsis digitis] "fall into the hands of someone who would undo the good work we have done or would even foster an anti-Mozilla community here."
• "ModCodeofConduct also argued that switching to private in protest is a violation of the Moderator Code of Conduct." - isn't it funny how users are expected to believe that the moderator code of conduct is more than just convenient excuses for Reddit Inc.?
• roughly 2k/8k of the subreddits joining the protest are still private. Even if Reddit Inc. plants to replace the mods with sycophants, the later will likely beeline towards the larger communities. I expect the smaller ones to go unmoderated, overall reducing the platform's diversity of communities.

Reddit has informed moderators of communities that are still private in protest that they will lose their mod status by the end of the week. Thousands of communities went dark earlier this month to push back on the company’s planned API pricing changes.

as the API support is coming to an end, the conflict is rising
