A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do you have any source or details? Would love to read about it.

Removed by an admin or another mod? There aren't really enough details in that story to know exactly what happened. It also seems strange that it says the sub went public briefly and then back to private. That doesn't really sound like an admin forcibly stopping the blackout.
I feel like subs being forced public is a real possibility as things continue on, but I'm not sure this is a good example of that.
