I don’t think this “oh subreddits can now pin coordinates” is a coincidence. They’ll simply take the biggest subreddits that also got the new mod teams, the ones cherrypicked by their “Moderator Code of Conduct” account, fill the board with their segments by essentially pinning the entire thing, and everybody else will get pushed away. Any coordinated protest will be killed with the excuse of “oh but you see this was pinned by this big subreddit and you couldn’t compete with their users oh well how organic and fun and natural”
My money is on backend overrides of anti-spez collaborations.

Then, to the casual observer, it will look like everything is fine and dandy, furthering the astroturfing propaganda
