    Reddit users continue their blackout protest against the platform’s new pricing plan, which will force several popular third-party apps to shut down or pay up starting July 1. While some subreddits have reopened, moderators of r/aww, r/videos, and r/music have kept their forums closed, holding out for more movement from Reddit’s executives.

    Over 300 other subreddits are still private, and moderators are polling their users to gauge interest before joining the indefinite shutdowns. CEO Steve Huffman’s leaked memo, which warned employees not to sport a Reddit logo in public, has been criticized for “trivializing” the concerns of moderators and volunteers who maintain much of the platform.
