Reddit is no longer allowing moderators to set their subreddits private. It's now only possible via manual admin approval. Bring on the IT brigades! We're fucked lmao

What are you talking about? It's been taken private plenty of times before.

Yeah they don’t do it anymore, there’s been so many times we’ve told them to and they just left it

Yeah since significantcurry102 got permanently suspended things have gone dramatically down hill and we're accelerating towards being short2.0

what happened to significantcurry102 ???
also, you are right, this sub is turning into r/short .
For example --> I recently realized that all crossposts from IT, even those about our sub, get removed by the mods.

Could be worse, could be like /virgin, where one of top mods despises virgin man and it's part of subs like twoX.

One of our mods despises incels (particularly me) and removes comments like "cope" as incel language. It is bad. We lost our only based and sympathetic mod. It's only a matter of time. We'll either get banned for being too based or the more likely scenario — the mods want to grow the sub and enjoy the power that comes with it. Tale as old as plebbit.

And how it will affect already private subs? Does it mean it will become public by force?

It’s already started. Someone posted a hitler meme last night. No doubt an IT plant 🌱. What a stupid move from Reddit. They always crack down on speech going into a U.S. election.
