Calling bullshit on that one. If they had expected stability issues, and knew exactly which subreddits will go private and when, how is it possible they had so much "anticipated issues"?
I mean, honestly that's probably what I would have done if I were still in charge.
Not too much of a stretch, IMO.
A fantastic Schadenfreude generator, regardless.
What's worse is that the system evolved as a response to the previous similar event, and what broke now is probably not what had broken in the past.

Do you have a more detailed pitch sheet? :)
As someone who is close to a reddit mod, they did not know which subs would go private
I’m sure someone somewhere at Reddit was surprised by sub X or Y going private, but if they were surprised at half the largest subs that went private, then that would be as sad as it is amusing.
