With the new Reddit policies, when a sub protests and goes private, could re-edit just step in, oust a moderator and switch it back to public?

    That’s what’s happening. Even went as as to make r/piracy public lol

    r/pics went public on their own, so as to not incur reddit admins’ wrath… but are only allowing images of a single person; it’s beautiful and I hope other subs’ mods do the same.

      Yea the mods have to enforce the rules of the subreddit. But there’s nothing stopping them from changing the rules. Malicious compliance!
