    something about this is hilariously ironic, given how much reddit cracked down on various piracy subreddits.

      For sure. They just banned /NewYuzuPriacy 3 days ago for example.

      The only thing that makes sense to me is that they sent an automated message to all the private subs over a certain threshold. And it looks like some scab submod decided to mutiny and take the sub.

        Well considering it should be really difficult to mod in coming days, make accounts and spam the sub sending people over seems to be the best way to counter this move. Make it hurt knowing that subreddit took away the tools Mods need to moderate effectively.
