IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF /R/PRIVATEBREASTFEEDING PLEASE READ THIS POST

I am the owner of the subreddit. As you know, I created that subreddit in the hopes of providing a safe space for women to talk about breastfeeding without being badgered by creeps and weirdos. The subreddit has been set to private since it’s inception and I, and my moderator team, have painstakingly reviewed every. single. user. who has requested to join to ensure, to the best of our ability, that every person who could view and participate in the subreddit was a breastfeeding parent. In light of the API protests on Reddit, the admins are threatening to forcefully reopen subs that have gone private. There are reports of communities that have always been private being threatened by the the admins to either open themselves to the public or be taken over by moderators installed by the admins and forcefully opened. If you have ever posted in /r/privatebreastfeeding, I strongly suggest you remove any content you wouldn’t want to be made public. I am going to do everything in my power to keep any images and posts private, but this is something that is now beyond my control and I would rather the entire subreddit be nuked of all content then run the risk of it being released against the consent of the people who posted. I’ve posted this in this subreddit, along with in /r/privatebreastfeeding to hopefully get as much traction as possible. via /r/breastfeeding https://ift.tt/IBHC2JR
