When I read this comment I found it difficult to believe that all of those posts could be gone that quickly, especially considering how long the various outrage posts about the recent subreddit bans continued to flood the front page. A detour over to Reddit's /r/all page confirmed it, though. Aside from a few recently submitted news articles about the petition to remove Ellen Pao as CEO the whole page was scrubbed clean of any mention of Vcstoria Taylor, the blackout, AMAs, and so on. I really don't see how that could be the result of anything other than censorship from the top down. It's very sobering to see it happen so quickly and obviously.
It could be censorship, but I'm honestly not surprised that most redditors have moved on. The blackout made news, but it privatization of subreddits was so brief that its impact on the site was minimal. I was expecting them to stay private until the admins made a statement explaining their actions... but most returned to normal under 24 hours later. And you have to admit, the highlight of the controversy are problems that don't directly affect most redditors. Victoria was a beloved figure in the community, but her absence won't have an impact outside the realm of AMAs. The mods have been treated the same way for years-- the majority of users won't understand their issues, or even care, considering their experience on Reddit hasn't actually changed. Drama like this seems to burn out pretty quickly.
