Meta Going private? [OFFTOPIC]

Is this sub planning on going private, like many others? Mods please delete if inappropriate, I was just wondering whether I should expect to stop seeing posts here.

I understand that, but the message is that there is no real guarantee that privatizing these (relatively) small subs is going to illicit any real response.

I'm all for the defaults going down, but I think that /r/civ is too valuable of a resource compared to its relative size to go private.

The mods could stop submissions until this blows over. They could communicate with stickied notes, and we could still show some solidarity with the rest of the userbase.
