TL;DR

Reddit has taken control of r/malefashionadvice, a subreddit with over 5.4 million subscribers, after it participated in a protest against changes to the platform's API. The protest led to a drop in traffic for Reddit, and the company warned moderators that it would replace them if they kept their subreddits private or in read-only mode. Reddit has now appointed an admin account to be the sole moderator of r/malefashionadvice and is seeking volunteers to take over other subreddits affected by the protest.
