A range of major gaming subreddits have been made private following the alleged dismissal of one of the site’s administrators.
Victoria Taylor, who is said to have served a key role on the site’s popular Ask Me Anything subreddit /r/iAmA, was allegedly “let go” from her position as Reddit’s Director of Talent, prompting other moderators to retaliate by restricting access to their own gaming hubs.
/r/gaming, /r/fallout, /r/finalfantasy, /r/borderlands2 and /r/elitedangerous have all been set to private, meaning only moderators and previously-approved users are able to access them, along with major subreddits /r/art, /r/askreddit, /r/documentaries, /r/music, /r/movies, /r/videos and /r/todayilearned.
The affected subreddits have tens of millions of subscribers between them.
“Due to an unexpected Reddit administrative personnel change /r/gaming joins a group of default subreddits going dark temporarily in an effort to resolve the situation,” reads a notice posted on the subreddit. “Our apologies for any disruption this may cause.”
The full list of subreddits affected by today’s events can be seen on the appropriately titled /subredditdrama, but be aware that some of them are NSFW.
