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.
They 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?
