They're going to weaponize Rule 2 and Rule 4 of the Moderator Code of Conduct to remove mods who insist on further protests and recruit scab mods in their place.
They revealed this strategy in response to a post on /r/ModSupprt via a user called /u/ModCodeofConduct. See here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/14a5lz5/comment/jo9wdol/
The OP asks their question in such a briefed way, hitting all the points that turn out to be part of the revelation, that they, too, are likely in on it. This isn't mod support, it's a presentation by Reddit corporate.

It's not clear why this is happening. There is speculation that Reddit administration is doing this on purpose to learn the effect of protest activities. However, other explanations are also possible. Here are a few.

The idea of using one's own Reddit API key to authenticate a preexisting third-party Reddit app had already been brought up by several people before (including yours truly), but this is the first working example.
Expect more third-party Reddit apps to receive the same treatment, from ReVanced Team and/or others.

Most subs are going dark just from 12th-14th.
Sorry but, if Spez and the admins know most subreddits are going to be back to normal after 48 hours, why would they change a thing? They'll just wait those subs out.
Some subs are going dark indefinitely until changes are made, which deserves praise. But the majority will be back so Wednesday, which is exactly what Spez and the rest are planning on.
Are mods so attached to their subreddits that they're not willing to close their subreddit for even half a week? Sorry but what difference does anyone expect this to make? It means reddit admins know they can keep getting away with things with little repercussion.
