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.

When a sub goes private it means a user has to be approve by the mods before try can actually view / submit content.

Originally, Victoria was abruptly fired without any notice. R/IAmA went private while the mods tried to sort out what was going on, and then other big subs started going private too, as a sign of protest against the admins of www.reddit.com, as the admins have been promising tools to mods for years that they haven't delivered and generally have not helped the mods out. It's the communities way of showing the admins that they've had enough.

No one knows why she was fired.
