As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

If mods will be booted for not reopening, they should all agree to reopen so that no new mods are instated... And then just not mod at all. If reddit is going to start force opening these subs, I think silent quitting might be the next best option.
