What's the deal with the recent activity on the old subreddit? - eviltoast

I’m seeing two posts from the mods that are sneerworthy content that aren’t meta-posts announcing the de-sunsetting of r/sneerclub. I just wanna know what’s up.

FWIW, I will stay here and probably won’t participate in the subreddit out of laziness.

    so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

    and to be clear

    • i didn’t think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
    • if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it’s perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
    • i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
    • and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master’s tools to bring down the master’s house.
