It's an ongoing situation but I love how you're trying to force everyone's hand to get to "how things were" for you. Funnily enough. That's what the protest is about, in a way.

> And this is why people are mad about reddit threatening to reopen subreddits;

I love how the self proclaimed casuals like you who "don't care" have this specific takes about the motives and reasons for things.

The motives are what they are and have been clearly laid out. The one throwing a conspiratantrum is you.

Go create the sub you want. The community will follow you, right?

And yes, that has happened plenty of times that mods go against a community.

I stopped using reddit 10 years ago, it can burn for all I care. Stop trying to psychoanalyze people (badly.)

If admins lift the blackouts and people go back to using the subreddits, then obviously those people were not committed to not using reddit. This is simply common sense. The answer to this problem is for you to stop using reddit, then reddit's problems won't be your problems.

Classic internet projection.

Backwards logic. They may be using it to complain or it may be intervened in a myriad of ways. You're set on dismissing while pretending you don't care but then make this claims that display ignorance of typical reddit behavioural patterns.

You keep going to this myopic well. Hey, if this bothers you shut up. Close your screen. Go to bed.

Basic b writing.
