Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.

Reddit will replace the mod teams of the core subs with some of the many power hungry citizens of the web.

If they need to I expect they will pay contracts for them.

I'm not optimistic that it will affect Reddit.

Reddit paying moderators means they have editorial control, which means they lose safe harbor protections and are liable for all content on their site.

Arguably, Reddit picking moderators may have the same effect. See https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-9th-circuit/1856011.html.
