I see where youโre coming from. Some even said they would go dark indefinitely. However, as I understood from another post, that reddit admins removed mods and reopend subs.
I think they wanted to stop/delay reddit going IPO by scaring potential buyers or force management to eliminate this concept in the near future.
I believe most if not all subreddits specified the period to go dark. Iโd count on thier statement even if they said for good since reddit managment can override their promise.
Do your part and start the sub here. They might engage if they see content being posted.
