Are Reddit admins the sub owners or Reddit employees?
Admins are employees, sub owners are unpaid volunteers.

Sad to see all of this happening
Off topic, who owns/runs the servers here and how does it make money? I'm new I'm curious.
similar to old usenet and fidonet, volunteers, there have always been people happy to help run hardware and help make the commons a thing. people were lured away from the gardens and parks by digital theme parks and shopping malls, where the users become customers.
people wonder "how can it possibly work"
email works great! same concept.
Love me some old internet. So basically were back to the cost of bandwidth for individuals who want to run a server.

I figured this would happen
Trying to make the change easy.
I wonder what will happen to the subreddits that had voted to black out for the week from the get- go?
It's not a democracy... straight to jail!
oh my god, what a turn of events. who would have thought?
So Orange is the New Blue huh?
This is huge! And should be shared far and wide! This sort of crap is why a single company can't be in charge: sooner or later some CEO some board member or whatever decides to pull some crap like this and thinks accountability is not applicable because he said so. This is why federation is a must in this day and age.
It was sort of expected, unfortunately. Let's see if they keep doing it to other subs and how things will go if they keep removing mods.
