So… are you not allowed to have private subreddits any more? Is this their official stance?

It wasn't private before, it was made private in protest. I think they are just automatically messaging mods of subreddits that were public before the protests and are now private.

My overall take on this is people have a weird relationship with reddit.

Alternative explanation: Users may not just roll over when the platforms they've invested countless hours into start abusing them.

Users don't care, they just want to keep browsing reddit.

Power-tripping mods are the ones trying to tank the subreddits.

The communities that actually ask the users for feedback on what they want tend to all be back to normal.

First, mods are the group of people who are most impacted by Reddit's proposed changes, so of course they're going to be more vocal about this than the average user.

Second, are you arguing that mods aren't also users?
