Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

The issue is some groups of mods are terribly afraid of no longer being mods - for whatever reason - so they don't join these efforts.

I was a mod of a 3m subscriber sub…. I do NOT get why mods would give a shit about being removed. Shits really no fun.

I never moderated anything with 3M... I can only imagine the mod queue haha, but I did moderate one at 500K and I totally agree.

I mean makes sense they might be a little cautious about what they do, cause like if they get removed the people reddit replaces them with aren't gonna let anything supporting the protests go through.

Well, right now they aren't supporting the protests so what's the difference? "Oh we don't want new mods because they won't protest, so we will stop protesting to avoid that!" the only difference is who gets to be called the mod.
