The Steam subreddit has been forced back open. - Lemmy.world

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

The community is posting about steam, the water vapor, in retaliation. It's a beautiful thing.

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.
