How is /r/firefox still private?
/r/running had a poll and most people went for indefinitely blackout. A few days later it went public again. I tried to ask what was going on with the plan but the post was immediately removed.
It appears that Reddit drove out the mods and put in new mods. But I am glad to see the majority had gone and not much new posts about running.
Now I wonder how/r/firefox can still be private.
I don’t know but I’m proud of them for sticking up for what’s right against the robber-barrons trying to enclose the commons of our collective communication platform.

If you actually click chat with us on /r/firefox they wrote

Don’t see it until you click so I don’t think lot of people knew about fedia.io/m/firefox

I’d say they probably didn’t notice because Reddit has been forcing even niche subs to reopen.

It would be hilarious if a bunch of pro-blackout people signed up to be scab moderators, so that each time Reddit removes old mods and replaces them with new mods, the new mods would just close the subreddit again.

Firefox actually has a link that goes to their sister kbin community, but you don’t see it until you click chat with us. So I don’t think lot of people knew /r/firefox has gotten set up on the fediverse.
