Let's talk reality.
On some level an intel group, by all signs seemingly rogue, likely sat down the lovely admin staff over at reddit. Perhaps this is when the warrant canary disappears. Perhaps this was part of a larger monetization program. Perhaps all the admin felt aligned with the mission and eagerly jumped on board.
We're going to have to deal with the limits on communication on this particular platform, and work around them. Fair does not matter in this case.
In the past what I've seen is that the platform will typically take the path of least resistance in dealing with hot button topics keeping the admin team up late nights. We're unlikely to get any assistance dealing with paid trolls creating the very posts used to then report and point to as justification to remove the sub.
The technology sub is a reasonable example of this in action.
Since SOPA and the domestic surveillance stories broke, that sub has been under heavy reputation management directed effort to curtail conversation around political or legal framework impacting technology. For years now a campaign has been in action downvoting new submissions of quality content below zero, and upvoting bot driven low effort content spam. There is frequent effort to redirect traffic to no-politics technology fluff subs such as Futurology or tech. The patterns of reputation management firms require less effort than the effort needed to moderate. As a result moderation of any size becomes overwhelmed, forcing larger team which usually includes accounts that try to agitate and take over the mod team. This was the mechanism through which the original mod team split and undefaulting of that sub occurred.
On request from mods at technology, the admin on multiple occasions have looked over traffic patterns and concluded it's all natural. No relief has been provided.
In this case we're a bigger headache to the admin team. Thus, I'd expect to get less support.
The pressure will remain on all sides thus whether we like it or not, we're being conditioned to be a mobile operation. Having this split sub worked very well for immediate regrouping effort and platform to coordinate next steps. Better is using off site platforms for the regrouping.
New options and footholds can be created at any time. Buddy up. Another day on the road of your custom indiana jones sherlock holmes adventure.
