Didn't Steve Huffman suggest fairly recently that he was in favor of more democracy, including allowing users to vote their moderators out? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blacko...
So some kinds of user votes are acceptable but others are not?

I have two main reddit accounts, one subscribed to "serious" discussion-focused subreddits, and another to all the meme picture-heavy subreddits. The latter's frontpage is mostly OK but the former's is completely desolate.
What is there for the mods to ignore, when the lurkers are - as you said - silent?
Force communities back open, how? I've read countless comments over the past few days about how Reddit can just reopen all the privated subreddits with new moderators, without explaining where those new moderators were going to come from.
Curating and maintaining a community takes a LOT of effort, and I'm not convinced it's that easy to find people willing to do it for free. Just think about open source projects and how many have died when the sole maintainer called it quits.
Across many subreddits, the announcements to participate in the blackout were highly upvoted (>90%), while announcements against participation were heavily downvoted.

Fun stuff I had to deal with include: The admin's "Anti-Evil Operations" frequently deleting user comments with no explanation. A persistent pedophile who just wouldn't go away. Getting guilt tripped by a severely mentally ill guy whenever we had to ban him (and his many alts) for breaking the rules. Doxx. Gore. Brigading. White supremacists. Racists with their "racial crime statistics". An impossible to moderate Reddit Chat (there were no chat moderation logs at all). And much more.
I completely checked out of moderation when I remembered that I wasn't getting paid to deal with any of the above. And since then, I've had much more appreciation for all the moderators who were willing to put in time and effort into maintaining a community for free.

Wait a second. Did they? My Dropbox client is currently working on my Arch system.
A highly rated pizza chain in my city (4.8 stars out of 6000+ reviews) is giving out free desserts if you rate them 5 stars. I've called them out on it years ago, but it seems that they are still doing it today: https://goo.gl/maps/1L8zdhWgwDK8b8Cy6.
May I know what the significance of January 2020 is? Isn't that before Australia closed their borders?

Those prices are before the 1.6% tax by the government. And furthermore, any usage above 600kWh is taxed an additional 6% by the energy company.
Honestly, I'm happy as long as publishing companies don't force me to use their crappy proprietary ebook readers.
But 16MBps is 128mbps.
Her response was "No thank you. I like the ads. Sometimes I see things I like".
The building in the background of the video appears to be a shrine located just past the road leading to the Presidential Palace. You can see the vehicles turn left just before the shrine, so they were probably up to no good...
I just want to click "Pay", and then click "download PDF" so I can annotate the books in my favorite app. Why do they have to make it more complicated than that.
This reminds me of a few months ago when I accidentally bought a 90 USD Ebook that came with DRM. I didn't realize it until I clicked the download button and got some Adobe digital editions file. I immediately Googled for a PDF copy of the book and saw that there were plenty on the first page of Google, so I don't know what the point of the DRM was other than to make me have to download some crappy reader just to read it. Thank goodness the company that sold the Ebook was willing to refund me.
