![]() ![]() Reddit had no comment on the threat specifically. Redditors have claimed that Reddit has begun forcing mods out of their subreddits in order to reopen them.Īt the same time, Reddit is also facing threats from a hacker group that it will release 80 gigabytes of compressed data it stole from the company last February unless Reddit pays a $4.5 million ransom fee and reverses the controversial policy that’s being rebelled against. Reddit continues to refuse to give in to their demands and has lost patience as the blackout wears on. But others decided to stay down indefinitely. The blackout was supposed to end on the morning of June 14, and some subreddits are back online. Thousands of Reddit forums, or subreddits, went private on June 12, primarily to protest the company’s decision to start charging third-party developers for access to its data starting in July. Now, as Redditors dig in to protest a series of new company policies and Reddit leadership refuses to compromise, it’s looking like this temporary blackout is going to be a standoff pitting some of Reddit’s most necessary and powerful users - the people who moderate the platform’s many subreddits - against the top of Reddit’s food chain: co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman. The Reddit blackout was only meant to last a couple of days.
