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

Hopefully they can just post boring AF content like /pics have done, just enough to technically be moderated and open

@FiendishFork This is gonna backfire majorly for them to force it back open again.

What does it mean to force a sub open? Did Reddit remove the mods ability to make the sub private?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The big admins just flip a flag somewhere. Probably remove the existing mods or threaten to do so if they close it again. I would then assume that either way the mods aren't going to be giving reddit free labor any more. Not sure what reddit's plan is to moderate at that point. Maybe get a scab mod to run things or something.

Either open it up or they'd do the same they did on /r/piracy, ask if any of the mods is up to reopen the sub and remove the ones who aren't. Like this https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555
