/r/Science has joined /r/IAMA in becoming a private subreddit. Is this a protest against Reddit's sudden firing of their community manager?[META] (self.undelete)

For background, Reddit fired a (the?) community manager, leading the /r/IAMA mods to set their sub to private and post on /r/OutOfTheLoop that they were blindsided by the decision, and were left without critical support for their AMA efforts.

A few hours later, and as of the time of this post, /r/science has been set to private as well. /r/science, unlike /r/IAMA, has links and self-posts, but also has an AMA component, which the community manager in question would've helped to coordinate.

The access denied page says:

Due to an unexpected Reddit administrative personnel change /r/science is temporarily private so that we can resolve the situation, our apologizes for any disruption this may cause.

One of the /r/science mods had previously said this in the /r/OutOfTheLoop thread:

I fully support this decision to shut down /r/IAmA, letting Victoria go is a slap. To back this up, I am the mod in /r/science that organizes all of the science AMAs, and I am going to have meaningful problems in the /r/Science AMAs, Victoria was the only line of communication with the admins. If someone wants to get analytics for an AMA the answer will be "Sorry, I can't help." Dropping this on all of us in the AMA sphere feels like an enormous slap to those of us who put in massive amounts of time to bring quality content to reddit. I personally feel like shutting /r/science down as well, that's how much of a bad taste this leaves.
