So I was curious about what's happening over on Reddit, and turns out some subs are opening up because they're worried of Reddit admins gutting the mod teams and putting new ones in. It's already happened with advice animals. Not like it hasn't happened before, the head mod of Kotaku in Action (basically that whole gamergate shit, that IMHO, the guy who started it lied), essentially privated the sub because he was over it and hated seeing how hateful people were, he was removed and Admins put in new modding team.
