For Mods of Reddit, Have You Privated Subs in Protest of Last Year's API changes or something else?

So I see a bunch of subreddits are still down from last year's protest. Is it wise to do this, or to do something else? Like, if you're a sub mod is it good to private the sub and go to a different site and redirect people, or will reddit ban your account if you do this too much, or what do you think is the best way to respond to last year's confusion? The problem is still a lot of people use Reddit... so what's the best way to handle where Reddit is at right now? Mods privating subs?
