if you have a community like we did, it was reported to the admins all the time. AgainstHateSubreddits organized attacks against it numerous times. If a sub is private, they can't know what is being said, unless we let them in

Thank you for this info. Now, I understand these moves. (the only downside is that it's harder to grow, and have a public voice, but at least the site is intact.)

it's a huge downside. I'm finding a lot of comments on twitter and spinster that they lurked but never joined. we influenced people who never created userids.

Yeah, I read stuff there every day but never joined because I'm not a dude. Kinda bummed that I won't be able to lurk now
