Reddit has taken control of r/malefashionadvice, a subreddit with over 5.4 million subscribers, after it participated in a protest against changes to the platform's API. The protest led to a drop in traffic for Reddit, and the company warned moderators that it would replace them if they kept their subreddits private or in read-only mode. Reddit has now appointed an admin account to be the sole moderator of r/malefashionadvice and is seeking volunteers to take over other subreddits affected by the protest.

This move reflects the growing dissatisfaction with Reddit and other platforms as they prioritize shareholder-driven greed over user experience.
The 'r/NewYuzuPiracy' subreddit, which covered Switch game piracy and emulation, has been banned due to a violation of Reddit's content policy. The subreddit had grown dramatically in recent weeks following the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch, becoming the "de facto home" for discussion about mods in the new Zelda as well as how to download and emulate the game. Although both the original and New Yuzu Piracy subreddit have now been banned, there's always the possibility of another one being created (again) in the future, or existing members moving across to a related subreddit.
Reddit has shut down a Nintendo Switch piracy subreddit with close to 70,000 members, which was a leading forum to discuss the modding and pirating of Switch games.

The /r/apple subreddit has gone private in protest of Reddit's upcoming API pricing changes that threaten to put some third-party Reddit apps out of business. The blackout is part of an organized effort that includes other subreddits like /r/videos and /r/DIY. Reddit's API provides apps with Reddit data and has been free until now, but the new pricing is prohibitively expensive, with some developers owing Reddit millions of dollars per year. Despite backlash, Reddit has yet to reverse course on its plans, and the API changes are set to go into effect on July 1.
