Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

    This is what I want to see from every subreddit that is forcibly reopened. The admins can try and force mods to ‘do their jobs’, but they sure as shit can’t force what can be/gets posted!

      The issue is some groups of mods are terribly afraid of no longer being mods - for whatever reason - so they don’t join these efforts.

        I was a mod of a 3m subscriber sub…. I do NOT get why mods would give a shit about being removed. Shits really no fun.

          I never moderated anything with 3M… I can only imagine the mod queue haha, but I did moderate one at 500K and I totally agree.

        I mean makes sense they might be a little cautious about what they do, cause like if they get removed the people reddit replaces them with aren’t gonna let anything supporting the protests go through.

          Well, right now they aren’t supporting the protests so what’s the difference? “Oh we don’t want new mods because they won’t protest, so we will stop protesting to avoid that!” the only difference is who gets to be called the mod.

      I think they could if they wanted to, I know that some subs actually hide your posts with automod until they get released by the mod team so it stands to reason you could do that on one of the core subs. It wouldn’t be fun for the mods and would definitely cause a lot of frustration and issues with people all trying to be the first to post something but then they have to wait 8 hours for a mod to wake up and approve it.
