It's not like they couldn't put a stop to blackouts before, as seen with the third-party app fiasco, but Reddit has now made that tactic entirely impossible. Mods will now need to get permission from Reddit admins before they can make a sub private. Makes me wonder if they're about to do something controversial again soon.

my guess would be old.reddit disappearing.

This is very likely. They're preparing for the fallout

I went back after the original purge since some niche communities are dead here but... OMG if they do this I will finally be free of them.

old.reddit is the only usable version.
