Reddit's Private Community Mods Face Removal Unless Reopened

TL;DR
Reddit has informed moderators of private communities that are still closed in protest that they will lose their moderator status by the end of the week unless they express interest in actively moderating. The company's decision follows escalating messages this week indicating potential action against the moderators. Many subreddits have reopened since protesting the company's API pricing changes, but over 2,300 communities remain private or restricted. Reddit declined to comment on the matter.
