FiendishForkThe Steam subreddit has been forced back open.
HighsightThe community is posting about steam, the water vapor, in retaliation. It's a beautiful thing.
I dunno, I think just remaining closed would have worked better. This will attract additional attention to Reddit. Also, the subreddit wasn't 'forced' back open, the mods just caved under a bit of pressure from the admins (which we don't even know is true. why on earth are they asking the steam subreddit to open back up when there are so many largers subs still private?). Smells like slacktivism to me, and mods who don't want to lose their power. Meh.
XathonnThey sent mail to every moderator of a closed subreddit I think. I wasn't specifically targetted. I doubt reddit would really care if /r/piracy opened back up, but they got the threat mail

You'd think so, but didn't the head mod get demodded?
Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. - Divisions by zero
A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much. Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.
