I feel like restricting communities is better than making them private as it still stops traffic while not withholding information from people who actually need it
That’s still a benefit to Reddit, though. I’m torn, because Reddit’s archive of threads is a great trove of information, but to hit them where it hurts, the flow of users needs to be restricted as much as possible.
Private subs may hurt Reddit slightly more than restricted, but restricted subreddits don’t hurt users/the Internet nearly as bad. And if we want support for our cause, we should not to hurt the users too much.
They are restricted instead of private. I think that means people can still view them but not post or comment.
