Well, we got the threat from u/ModCodeOfConduct at r/Canning today; for posterity (if the mods don't remove this), here is our response:

We agree that subreddits belong to their community of users -- and so when 89% of our users voted that we should blackout the community until Reddit backtracks on their current API access stance, we followed the communities request that we close shop.

The mods of r/Canning will continue to follow the wishes of our community first. If you wish us to make the subreddit public again, you will need to meet the demands of our users; to whit that you re-open discussion with 3rd party application developers, reduce your outrageous API pricing, and give them a minimum of 6 months before that pricing takes effect.

That is what the users have asked of us as their moderators. If you sincerely care about the "Subreddit belonging to the community of users" you will meet our demands, at which point we can discuss re-opening the subreddit. Should you prematurely force our subreddit public against the wishes of the vast majority of our users, our users will know the truth of the lie as to whom the subreddit really belongs.

To top it off, I reported their message as being abusive. One last thumb-of-the-nose before we all get the boot.
