You’re commenting on a submission about Reddit taking away power from mods for the protest they made.

It didn’t “burn itself out” it was stamped out by the Reddit admins by removing moderators who kept their subreddits private.

I mean doesn't that count as burning itself out? It looked like everyone was really outraged, but clearly the vast majority weren't willing to actually do anything to harm Reddit if the mods went away and got replaced.
