Ugh. The EFF is wildly off the mark on Reddit. Reddit might have been a great proponent of freedom a decade ago, but far more recently, it has become far more puritanical, far more "man in a suit", and as evidenced by the current strike, far less caring about their users.

They are clearly looking at the company in how it operated in the past. That company no longer exists.

The problem is that the company has gotten annoyingly puritanical and corporate. Period.

It isn't the lack of "transparency".

It isn't the lack of "an accountability process".

It isn't an inability to attend round tables with the EFF and other stakeholders.

The latest middle finger is just icing on cake. Frankly, it's one which has been a long time in the making.

"Far more recently" is half a decade ago. It's not a week ago. It's not a month ago. It's not "2022". They're been doing all of these things for quite some time, and somehow, that has gone unnoticed by the EFF, and that is what drives me up the wall.
