As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit’s plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces “open and accessible to users.”

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

    But what percentage of the top 100 communities? I don’t actually know that answer, but top 5000 doesn’t really tell me anything about the quality of the subs that are open right now.

      80% of the top 5000 communities tells me that 1000 communities remain closed. That’s a lot.

      /r/StarTrek is one of them.
