At this point it seems likely that Reddit is so incompetent, they just ran a script to check if a subreddit was private and extort the mods if it was, without any check on how long the sub had been private.
That is 100% what they did.
This kinda feels like proactive cautionary action to protect their community (which absolutely is good) since they don't outright say admins have been threatening them. Because even an idiot should've figured out to check when the sub was set to private when creating that supposed script.
Hopefully I'm right because jeez otherwise...
of course they did. That will also be their defence if a story like this hits the press
This shit reminds me of offices demanding everyone come back in person even if you had remote approval before the pandemic.
