Curious what Reddit will do about it. There already were comments about taking measures on their end - will see what they end up doing.

I don't even use the XIV Subreddit so I'm not really impacted. As others said a lot of times it's Fan Art and things I'm not interested in. I find the topic itself interesting though and I think the moderators overstepped at the point that their beliefs about Reddit infringe on the rights of those to actually participate as they'd like.



Reddit doesn't open the subs though, Users do. If Reddit starts forcing them open its no longer a user driven platform. Also, it could cause issues with some communities that are private only from the start.


And its not moderators overstepping. People are reacting to anti-consumer policies. There is no "right to use subreddits". Its not about beliefs. Its about Reddit trying to force mobile users into their terrible app. I don't use third party apps for reddit, I use the mobile site because their app is terrible. If they forced me to use the app I'd just leave.
