tbh Im not surprised they would. r/piracy is both niche and wouldnt be worth to remove mods for. Subs like r/aww or r/funny however are main parts of Reddit, and this also applies to massive game subs like r/Minecraft
You know, when you look at where the subscribers were and what the default subs were, I guess this shouldn’t be surprising. There’s a reason Lemmy/Kbin already feel more like “old” Reddit, and it’s because that was always the “alt” social media users, generally a bit more tech savvy and certainly more open minded to new platforms. At some point Reddit filled up with Facebook and Instagram scrubs and I didn’t even notice.
I was definitely a power user of Reddit, but I’m not sure I was even subscribed to a single default sub. Whoever was hitting up Reddit for r/aww and r/funny was probably never going to take a principled stand over API debates and the centralization and profit chasing administrative choices.
Didn’t they literally say they wouldn’t force re-open sub reddit’s? Suprise suprise another lie.

Yeah, I don’t think they’d reopen /r/piracy. They’d take it as a win.
It’s going to be banned for being “unmoderated” sometime soon, calling it now.
Can sub that no one post to really be considered unmoderated? Like what is there to do to be “active” without post.
I don’t think they’d care
Yeah, I would bet that the default subreddits would be the ones they target with this bullshit
