How did Subreddits Decide Participation in the Blackout?
Post Body
Hi! I'm a PhD student studying how Reddit moderators do your work. Last week, after archiving hundreds of conversations during the blackout, I wrote up my first set of notes describing what moderators do on Reddit, and how different subreddits discussed/debated the decision to join the blackout or not. Mods, am I on the right track?
I cover:
- How I’m Doing My Research
- Why Does This Matter?
- What Is a Subreddit?
- What Do Reddit Moderators Do?
- How Do You Become a Moderator on Reddit?
- How Many Moderators Are There?
- What Does It Mean to “Go Dark,” “Go Private,” or “Black Out” and is This A New Thing?
- How Did Moderators Decide to Take Subreddits Private?
- What Were the Consequences of Taking Subreddits Private?
- Who’s In The Majority? What Do “Reddit Users” Think?
- Final Thoughts and Next Steps
