    looks like the sub’s mods shut it down temporarily, not reddit admins. the sub is still active.

      yes it was temporary and they brought it back for 2020 but it was unforgivable that they shut it down at all imo,

      also i dont know that it's worth making a distinction between subreddit mods and reddit mods.

        It is worth understanding the difference IMO. Site mods will be shit because corporate pressure from above. Sub mods will be shit because of internet napoleon complexes and / or being bought off on the back end by some grimy PR guy.

        like 250,000 when it went offline I think? antiwork is at 1.5M now, so i doubt they would ever shut it down now, but mods can 1000% ruin it like what happens w most large subs eventually

      It was the mods who "chose" to shut it down IIRC and I think some of them were against the move but it never blew up into a huge controversy. I would put money down on that mod team getting some of the clinton / mook dark money to shut down. Either that or they got threatened with an Epsteining.
