What changed
During the July 2023 API protests, Reddit invoked its Moderator Code of Conduct against communities that kept subreddits private or mislabeled them NSFW, issuing final warnings and removing or replacing moderators who continued the protest. Reddit said the removals stemmed from Content Policy and Mod Code of Conduct violations, formalizing its authority to displace 'landed' moderators of in-demand communities.
