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 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 was talking more about the subreddits that are reopening but still doing stuff to effectively keep their subreddits not usable. They’re at least trying to toe the line so they can still do stuff like that where as if they just ignored what Reddit says they would just get replaced with mods that will go the complete opposite direction and stop any talking about protests.

              But that’s not really what /r/Steam is doing. The users started doing it by themselves, but the mods had simply accepted what Reddit demanded.

                Ah I didn’t know what they were doing, I assumed it was something similar to what r/pics is doing. Haven’t been back on Reddit since I uninstalled it the day before the blackout started.

        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.
